Webinar: Social Intelligence for Customer Service & Support Excellence
Tuesday, March 26, 2:00 pm EDT

Register today (http://go.aspect.com/socialROI)  to hear expert Leslie Ament, SVP Research and Principal Analyst from Hypatia Research Group share best practices and return on investment metrics utilized by top performing organizations, including:

•   How organizations set goals and objectives for investment in social customer service and support initiatives

•   How are organizations harmonizing customer's online interactional information such as web self-service, online chat and social feeds with transactional data stored within legacy systems such as CRM, marketing databases, or ERP systems?

•   Which best practices or lessons learned from other organizations' effective use of social channels for customer service and support would provide lessons learned or business justification for other organizations?

Hypatia Research Group surveyed more than 1100 global organizations for this research and found that only 246 respondents actually utilize, recommend, influence, and/or hold budget or veto power over the purchase of social media software for customer service and support initiatives at their place of employment. As a result, only analysis derived from these 246 respondents was utilized for this research.

Leslie Ament, senior vice president, and principal analyst at Hypatia Research Group http://www.hypatiaresearch.com/expertise/team.html stated, "Organizations that adopt social media tools for customer service, combined with best practices for rules-based business process workflows, are empowered to utilize their social channels as decision support and customer engagement for value creation.  Not surprisingly, 44.4% of customer service and support executives cited "the ability to respond to customer requests for support, service or information promptly" as the highest reason for investment in social engagement tools."

Over 246 respondents with direct accountability for selection or use of social software and services for customer service & support functions were utilized for this primary research. Company size of respondents comprises: 37.5% large enterprises, 33.9% mid-market and 28.6% SMB. Geographic breakouts are: 47.3% North America, 30.2% Asia PAC: Australia, China, Japan, and Korea, 21.8% EMEA, and 0.8% South America.
