The cutthroat competition has lowered the margins and increased the stress in all markets and call centers are no exception here. There is a lot of competition in the global call center industry. Therefore, it is necessary to retain the customers. Retaining customers is often considered easier than locking new customers because all you need to do is deliver an excellent customer experience.

There are multiple ways to follow to retain your customers. In this blog, I will share how you can increase customer retention using a call center solution. The top tips of using the right features of this software can help you increase customer retention up to 95.98%.

1. Stay connected to the customers

The first and foremost thing is to stay connected with your customers. It will help in nurturing the leads. There are many features of a call center solution, which can be used here. For example, a predictive dialer or any other auto dialer along with a survey feature can be used to run a survey or take feedback occasionally. This will make sure customers feel valued. If there is any glitch in the software or if there are any policy or pricing changes, you must update your customers well in advance. You can use the voice broadcasting feature of the call center software for this.

2. Give self-serving options

Believe it or not, but customers like to resolve their concerns by themselves. Therefore, providing the options to resolve their queries by themselves or taking a common action without the involvement of agents can be a great help. A call center solution offers multiple self-serving options. Different call center solutions may have different features, but each of them will have some features that automate certain actions.

3. Cater to the customer via their preferred communication channels

In 2021, we have several modes of communication unlike a decade ago when people used to use only phone calls or SMS. These days, from traditional to digital communication channels are available in the market. It is necessary to use all or major communication channels, which are preferred communication channels of your customers, which can be any of the following:

• Voice calls
• Video calls
• WhatsApp
• Facebook
• Twitter
• SMS
• Email
• Fax

If you cater to the different age groups of customers, then you should use an omnichannel call center solution, which supports unified communication channels. However, if you focus on serving a specific age group, then you can integrate the preferred communication channels of that age group.

4. Add personalization

For this, you may need to invest in call center CRM integration to show more information related to the customers to agents during a live call, but it is worth it. It helps in making customers feel valued and increasing retention.

These are the top 4 tips you can implement to enhance the customer experience, make them feel valued, and retain them. If you do not have a call center solution, contact us.
