Many unique challenges face energy and utility providers. Deregulation has opened up many energy and utility services to private firms, creating more competition. As well, customers now have greater expectations of their energy and utility providers, expecting low rates, multi-channel service, prompt complaint resolution, and open communication channels.
Customer service has become more important than ever for energy and utility providers. All it takes is one bad experience or instance of poor service for a customer to quit using your services. After a bad experience, customers can use social media and the internet to spread negative publicity to friends, family, and other internet users. For many people in the public, there is some hostility towards energy and utility providers, which means complaints, issues, and controversies can end up attracting a lot of online attention.
Energy and utility contact center solutions allow you to avoid these problems and provide a greater level of service to your customers.
