it&#8217;s about empowering customers to use the easiest and most efficient solution,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Agents play a crucial role in this process, and their ability to positively endorse self-service options can really matter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The findings and McIntosh\u2019s comments underscore the importance of training agents to clearly explain the benefits of self-service tools.<\/p>\n<p>But why exactly are agents currently failing to promote self-service?<\/p>\n<h2>Is Self-Service Still Struggling to Deliver?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons that agents might refrain from recommending self-service channels.<\/p>\n<p>The high workloads and rise in agent burnout have been well documented, as have agent concerns about AI-powered solutions replacing them.<\/p>\n<p>However, the main reason might be more practical: current self-service channels simply aren\u2019t up to scratch.<\/p>\n<p>A separate Gartner survey from last summer found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/only-1-in-7-customer-service-queries-resolved-with-self-service-gartner-study-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only 14 percent of customer service issues are fully resolved through self-service channels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even for &#8220;very simple&#8221; problems, self-service success rates only reach 36 percent, highlighting a significant gap in effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>These findings suggest that current self-service tools are inefficient at resolving queries, a far cry from the time-saving, agent-workload-reducing solutions they proport to be.<\/p>\n<p>While Gartner does not provide any information on this, it is not difficult to imagine scenarios where agents are having to deal with customers following a frustrating experience with a self-service channel, making the interaction more difficult and the agent less likely to recommend self-service to future customers.<\/p>\n<p>The shortcomings of self-service come further into view when compared to phone channels.<\/p>\n<p>Gartner made this point, as the research firm suggested that positive phone experiences may disincentivize customers from using self-service tools.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, only 35 percent of customers who last used the phone for support say they\u2019d be willing to adopt self-service solutions.<\/p>\n<p>With the phone still the leading service channel, its reliability and comfort may be hindering GenAI and self-service adoption.<\/p>\n<p>In order to encourage customers and agents to better embrace self-service, McIntosh believes that service leaders &#8220;should focus on integrating GenAI solutions that complement existing phone interactions rather than replacing them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By positioning GenAI as an enhancement to the phone experience, organizations can reassure customers that the digital assistant is designed to streamline their journey, offering both self-service solutions and seamless transitions to human agents when needed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Meeting customers where they are, while offering innovative solutions, is key to driving adoption and satisfaction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Vendors Continue to Champion Self-Service<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the clear disconnect between customers, agents, and self-service, vendors continue investing heavily in the tech.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month at Customer Contact Week 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/crm\/salesforce-debuts-agentic-self-service-aims-to-revolutionize-customer-portals\/\">Salesforce unveiled its new agentic self-service solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Integrated into Service Cloud, the tool leverages Agentforce \u2013 Salesforce\u2019s AI agent platform \u2013 to deliver faster, more personalized support through a real-time customer portal.<\/p>\n<p>On its release, Salesforce promised &#8220;a new era for self-service&#8221;, which could eradicate many of the issues isolated above, if the new era comes to fruition. However, that&#8217;s a big &#8220;if&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><i>For more insights from leading thinkers across the customer experience space, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/account\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subscribe to the CX Today newsletter<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Gartner study has revealed that 60 percent of customer service agents fail to champion self-service channels.
