"Conversational platforms such as Webchat and other forms of messaging are increasing in use because customers find this type of interaction with brands comfortable and familiar. The responsibility of the brand is to provide value and offer service excellence. Service excellence supports both positive customer experiences and economic value," adds Mitch Lieberman, Conversational Intelligence Analyst and Program Director at Opus Research. “RapportBoost’s focus on delivering actionable conversational intelligence to agents is unique and much needed in the market.”

CEO Tony Medrano and Executive VP Dani Apgar will be at Customer Contact Week to discuss how contact centers can:

• Leverage new channels like chat & SMS that reduce cost
• Drive agent performance, happiness and company culture
• Enable coaching agents by managers to be more objective, scalable and fun
• Increase engagement by agents with feedback mechanisms to effectively self-manage and self-train.

“Agent performance is the largest driver of financial performance for contact centers and training agents in new channels like live chat can be challenging,” states Medrano. “We love helping contact center leaders onboard new chat agents and boost their performance with our augmented intelligence platform. We’ve been able to change the outcome of 50 percent of conversations for some brands from ‘no-sale’ to ‘sale.’ This sure gets our contact centers noticed by their CEOs and boards.”

“Live chat communications present a new set of challenges which are fundamentally different from those posed decades ago by static, one-way marketing endeavors like website landing page optimization or outbound email blasts,” adds Brian Cantor, Principal Analyst & CCW Digital Director, Customer Management Practice. “Training and rewarding agent performance can seem daunting, but new easy-to-use tools for contact center managers can help agents self-train by gamifying important aspects of conversations.”

Rather than relying on outdated best practices for customer acquisition channels, stale training curricula for email communication or generalized chat insights pulled from CRM software, RapportBoost’s platform can be customized to deliver precise, unbiased recommendations for brands based on what works for their particular brand vision and customers. RapportBoost uses machine learning to analyze a brand’s chat conversations and then delivers multi-faceted and easy-to-use training on these insights to contact center managers and chat agents.

Started in 1999, Customer Contact Week is the world’s largest customer contact event series. With the balance of conference and expo, CCW is the place where customer care, CX and contact center leaders come together. This event takes place from Oct. 9-12 at The Renaissance Hotel in Austin.
