Today’s businesses are faced with a challenge: how to stand out in the crowd. Customer service has become central in the quest to gain a competitive edge. Self-service is great to a certain extent, but those who really want to win are investing in a more personalized experience to close business faster and improve the customer experience. That’s where visual engagement solutions come into play.

Visual engagement is based around technologies such as cobrowse, one-way agent video, and screen share. These solutions enable organizations to bring personalization and understanding to customer interactions.

A recent Forrester Research report (Visual Engagement Drives Relationships and Revenue for Customer Service, May 5, 2017) defined visual engagement as follows:

Visual engagement solutions allow users to “cut through the conversation clutter, to be better understood, and to connect emotionally.”

When you can instantly see what your customers are viewing, you:

  • Reduce customer and agent effort
  • De-escalating customer service calls
  • Improve first call resolution rate
  • Guide customers through complex transactions
  • Improve metrics like Net Promoter Score and Customer Effort Score

But don’t take my word for it. Check out these amazing stories about how visual engagement transformed these businesses’ processes for the better.
