[Ultimate Guide] How to Set Up a Call Center in 2022?
The digital world, especially the one centered around social media has today become the go-to platform for customers to not just find brands but also validate their image about the business offering. While on one side, social media can help validate the genuineness of a business, on the other side, it can make your business fall prey to the voice of opinionated users - making it difficult for you to find customers. What makes it all the more difficult for brands to create a positive presence is the fact that amidst the high and easy availability of options and alternatives, consumers and customers have become all the more quick when it comes to ditching a business and taking up another. Noting all these challenges, it has become a necessity for businesses to prepare for social media-driven customer experience management.
Answering a social media complaint can increase customer advocacy by as much as 25%
In this article, we are going to look into everything that you need to prepare for establishing a social media-based customer experience management program for your business.

Customer experience management is the process that is used by brands for overseeing and tracking the interactions that customers have with a brand throughout their journey. The goal of a CEM strategy is to grow customer satisfaction, advocacy, and loyalty by first meeting and then exceeding their customers’ expectations.
For contact centers, delivering a memorable and positive customer experience is a complex task. There are several touchpoints across devices and channels, which have to be addressed. Customers have to be talked to in their language to address their queries and issues most satisfactorily, rendering it necessary to let go of automotive machines.
This needs to be present on all devices that customers interact with and give them a human voice to share their problems or appreciation with is social media’s forte.
Social media give businesses a platform for their contact centers to show their human side to the customers, who understand what they are going through and what needs to be done to make the process, or their life as a whole, easier.
Irrespective of whether or not you have a set social media budget for your business (which you should), your contact center can still use social media to listen and keep track of what is being said about your brand.
While a quick Google search can give you information on what is being talked about your brand, there are software in the market, developed by customer experience specialists that can help you track what is being talked about your business in the digital world. Specialized contact center tools like Omnichannel, can also enable you to link your social channels with the rest of the customer experience suite and not just promptly respond to your customer’s messages but also raise tickets for their issues to be solved quickly. For example, an issue reported in the Google Play store or on Facebook Messenger should be addressed promptly before the customer becomes annoyed and takes a hit on your social score.
Your contact center must be on top of what image your business is portraying in the world, for only then you will be able to either take measures to improve or measures to continue the good work.
Humans want to be appreciated and feel valued. The simple psychology notion stands true for digital customers as well. Your contact center will have to find ways to appreciate your customers for their association with your brand.
If a returning customer leaves a positive review for your business, mention their name in your response and do the same for customers who promote your content or simply engage with every single one of your posts or tweets.
Every brand collects feedback from the customers for their service. While sometimes it is through a form, other times it can be through a review or rating on the stores.
What matters is what you do with the collected feedback apart from feeling good within your contact center.
Ideally, you should treat the feedback as the best promotional content that you could hope for. No matter what feedback you get on your service and in what form, promote it on your social platforms.
Every business has a customer support contact center team. But when you are operating in a social world, it is important to take the team beyond your website and bring them on social media.
In most cases, businesses employ a separate team that is responsible for replying to users’ comments in real-time while being empathetic to what they have to say. With an omnichannel solution for contact centers, however, you can save costs by having the same contact center agent respond to customers across channels. The integrated timeline view of the omnichannel, brings together customer interactions happening across different channels in chronological order, so an agent can view the full history of interactions with a customer across channels and respond to their messages on social media with an understanding of context.
Now, showing empathy at times when a user is seemingly unfairly passing negative comments on the brand’s social platforms is a learned skill. So, make time to impart the knowledge to your contact center team.
No matter who your customers are, they don’t want to be bombarded with promotional messages between offline and online platforms, they see adverts in abundance, every day.
What they need is to interact with brands that treat them as humans, while showing them their human side. And to achieve that, you must revisit your content plan. You will need to factor in both promotional and interactive content in the social media feed.
Conclusion
While these are the five pivotal ways through which brands work on their customer experience management through social media, there can be many other strategies operative in the industry.
But what is necessary to make all those social media-centric customer experience practices a success is a blend of the right content and the right time. While your contact center should behave as a human with your customers on your social media platform, you would also need to be wary of how much you show up on their feed and how it affects their social media experience.
