Guided CX Essentials

Digital transformation is reshaping customer interactions, and it’s essential for banks to strike the right balance between technology and human touch. According to Forrester, direct banking customers in 2023 rated hybrid experiences 3 points higher than digital-only ones, underlining the significance of human interaction in the customer journey. While digital channels provide convenience and efficiency, customers still value the personal connection offered by human interaction. Here’s where Guided CX emerges as a game-changer. It not only enhances customer experience but also streamlines contact center operations, offering a holistic solution to meet the evolving needs of both customers and financial organizations.

Deposit growth has emerged as a top priority for financial institutions. A recent survey revealed that 4 out of 5 bankers have identified deposit growth as a primary concern, highlighting the urgency for banks to optimize their deposit processes. However, they’re faced with challenges. With customers increasingly shifting their funds to high-yield accounts and the rise of fintech companies offering digital banking solutions, traditional banks are under pressure to adapt their strategies to meet evolving customer expectations. As a result, banks are turning to advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline workflows and identify new deposit opportunities. In this blog post, we’ll explore the role of AI in deposit growth, examining how it enables banks to navigate these challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities. We’ll also discuss the importance of human intervention in maintaining customer trust and enhancing the overall banking experience, highlighting the need for a balanced approach that leverages both technology and human expertise.

Digital banking customers are increasingly gravitating toward the convenience and independence offered by DIY (Do It Yourself) banking solutions. And for good reason: DIY banking empowers customers to manage their finances independently. However, there comes a pivotal moment when customers require personalized assistance and guidance, known as DIT (Do It Together), especially in intricate or high-stakes financial scenarios.

In today's evolving financial landscape, banks face a critical imperative to revolutionize customer engagement. As technology reshapes the way consumers interact with their finances, adopting a holistic, data-driven approach becomes paramount for driving growth and staying ahead in the game. Let's explore how banks can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics to reimagine customer engagement and create meaningful connections that transcend traditional banking boundaries.

About this talk During this webinar, Metrigy CEO and Principal Analyst Robin Gareiss will discuss why contact centers must have three key capabilities: video, co-browsing, and screen sharing. She will cover the following:

How Constant Contact uses Glance Constant Contact, a SaaS-based email marketing solution company, has always placed a high value on customer care. They recognize that happy and successful customers are loyal customers, and that each touch point provides an opportunity to deepen the customer relationship. Constant Contact has used Glance since 2005. Customer support agents can launch a sharing session with one click, view the customer’s screen, instantly understand the problem, and guide them to a speedy solution. Glance sessions are proven to drive measurably higher First Call Resolution (FCR) and higher Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) scores. In 2016, Constant Contact began an initiative to take advantage of these high CSAT moments. They realized that customer support calls with a positive outcome — and the resultant spike in CSAT — represented a perfect opportunity to cross-sell and up-sell related products and services to happy customers. Agent KPIs now include recommending up-sell options, acceptance rate, and revenue contribution. A multi-pronged approach To breathe life into this initiative, Constant Contact embarked on a comprehensive strategy that incorporated in-depth training combined with innovative technology. The company’s service agents were taught to identify which customer interactions were, indeed, sales opportunities and, of those, which were appropriate for up-selling products and consulting services. Along with its focus on training and data analytics, Constant Contact understood it needed to implement robust technology that would enable its agents to elevate the level of personal service they could deliver. Delivering exceptional service leads to the “high-CSAT moments” to which Kenny refers. These are perfect moments for up-selling. The company consulted its long-time partner and industry leader in visual engagement solutions, Massachusetts-based Glance Networks. The idea was to understand how Glance can help Constant Contact leverage its co-browse and screen share capabilities — which have demonstrably increased its CSAT scores — to convert customer touch points into revenue opportunities.

How Axos Bank uses Glance With Glance, Axos bankers can see exactly what an account holder sees on their screen as they navigate the online banking app. Agents can guide customers through a number of transactions, including bill payments, fund transfers, and the completion of applications for bank products like mortgages and personal loans. Glance collaboration sessions can be launched easily by the banker, and Glance requires no download from the customer. It is a frictionless experience for the banker and the customer that works with any computer or mobile web browser the customer might be using. Glance is engineered to comply with the strictest security and privacy standards of financial services companies. Sensitive personal information in the customer’s online banking account can be masked from the view of the banker. Glance encrypts all transmitted data and employs enterprise-class SSO. How did we do it? “Human interaction, especially when it’s related to finance, is an inherently emotional and sensitive topic,” said Jonathan Crane, senior vice president of Axos’ Centers of Excellence. “Our goal is to meet our clients in the way they best prefer to interact. Sometimes they do need that higher touch connection.” The technology, provided by Glance, is a Javascript tag that’s coded into the online banking portal that lets customer service agents see exactly what an account holder sees on their screen as they peruse the bank’s website. Its bankers can “co-browse” with customers and guide them through a number of transactions. Once screen sharing is enabled, the banker can use their cursor to direct customers where they need to click in their account to initiate a transaction, find information, or enter sensitive information. On their end, the banker never sees any sensitive financial details that a customer enters into a specified field. Before a connection is made, the lender will alert the customer about exactly what the banker has access to and can view in the account. For further assurance, the banker can initiate a one-way video feed that shows the customer they’re being attended to in real time. Unlike IT remote access, however, Axos’ representatives do not have the ability to initiate or complete any transactions on behalf of the customer.
