As the world becomes increasingly digitalised, the human touch in customer experience can sometimes be forgotten. Most services are now available at the palm of our hands and with a few simple clicks, we can get everything we need without speaking with anyone.

Customer service and experience in today’s world have become more complex and multi-faceted. The need to satisfy customers across multiple channels and staying ahead of their demand have driven businesses to explore new ways to enhance these experiences across different touch points.

Keep our customers smiling

At Epsilon, we are focused on keeping our customers happy and ensuring their experience with us is consistent – be it on Infiny, over service support or through account managers. It is about doing whatever it takes to bring the best and consistent end-to-end service experience to our customers in any region.

That is why we have been conducting surveys for our customers. Using the net promoter score (NPS), we can better understand how our customers view us and where we can improve on.
Net promoter score or NPS, is a tool to help organisations understand the loyalty of the customer. This is different from a traditional customer satisfaction research that was long and cumbersome for customer to complete and the company to act upon. It is also known that revenue growth has been linked to NPS.
How do we fare?
According to the 2018 NPS benchmark report, the telecommunications industry scored the lowest average industry rating of 24. This is not unusual since customers of telecom companies expect the highest standards when it comes to ensuring excellence in service delivery, quality and experience.
In 2019, Epsilon scored an NPS of 29. The low scoring reminded us that we needed to step up our efforts in delivering better customer service experience. This year, we are happy to share that we have achieved a much-improved score of 56, breaking above the industry average.
What have we done to differentiate our services?

Systems
– In-house development teams, including 7D working to improve systems, including Infiny.
– The addition of some key system enhancements to assist different customer services teams:
     – New 24/7 monitoring dashboards for better event and incident management.

    – Introduction of new system developments for capacity management.

We see customer service as an intrinsic part of how our business operates. It’s linked to all our products, systems, teams and internal business processes. All of these elements are constantly being refined to ensure an elevated customer experience. That’s what makes us different from the rest.
