How Can Communications Providers Differentiate?

Service providers - whether wireline, wireless, cable or satellite - are faced with increased competition, unprecedented churn, and a growing need to help subscribers understand more complex services, devices, and pricing bundles - all while managing costs.

How can providers differentiate themselves from one another, and improve customer retention and loyalty?

The answer: by providing an exemplary customer experience.

This webinar will present case studies that demonstrate best practices and actionable advice for providers to deliver a customer experience that exceeds customer demands and drives improved retention and loyalty.

You'll also gain insights into recent Convergys research on how the customer experience is viewed by customers, employees, and executives. The surveys found that customer service is the key to customer loyalty:

• Over 67% of subscribers value first call resolution & knowledgeable agents the most
• More than 41% will stop doing business with a company without telling the company why - but they will inform their friends and neighbors
