Next, Altman suggested that he is \u201cconfident\u201d contact center jobs will be the first to be replaced by AI.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With leading AI voices making such predictions, AI experiments are ramping up, CIOs are paying more attention to the contact center, and leaders are honing in on deflection and containment rates.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yet, while these are helpful metrics, they\u2019re not a strategy. A hyperfocus on these measures can lead to poor customer experiences. As Goodhart\u2019s Law suggests, when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to become a good measure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In this case, by valuing automation above all else, contact centers risk high-value calls getting diverted away from agents. These may be make-or-break to customer loyalty or offer a significant upsell opportunity.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As such, contact centers should be clear on why customers are contacting the business and the value each of those contacts has.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Breaking Down Customer Demand<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Take the contact center\u2019s most common contact drivers and consider which have the most value to the company and which have the most value to the customer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Those with low value to both are prime candidates to eliminate completely. Contact automation is a powerful solution here. However, by tracing back the root cause of the issue, through an analytics initiative, the service team can often remove the need to reach out to the business altogether. That\u2019s pre-emptive customer support at its finest!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For those with high value to the company or customer, look to simplify the process. Again, a virtual agent flow may be an effective solution. However, also consider opportunities for proactive customer service, detecting signals in back-end systems to automate the entire process without the customer lifting a finger.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Finally, there are those calls of high value to the company and customer, where loyalty is won and lost. That\u2019s where the human touch shines, and human reps will ideally be equipped and ready to deal with these common contacts as they reach them.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Supporting Agents to Deliver in the Moments That Matter<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Handling high-value customer contacts well starts long before an agent picks up the phone. The experience should be carefully orchestrated.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When an front-end generative virtual agent deciphers the customer intent, leveraging a LLM trained on business and customer specific data, it will ideally engage with the customer to take information from them that\u2019s pertinent to the intent and helpful to the agent.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That agent should also understand which channel is best to handle the incoming query and route it accordingly, bolstering the possibility of a successful outcome.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">From there, the contact reaches the agent, who should have all the necessary information at hand (and the coaching) to guide the customer through the contact.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Along the way, generative agent assist tooling uses the LLM to synthesize the trained data set with the ongoing conversation and available customer metadata, which serves up helpful information at the moment of need, and support the agent in handling objections. As such, they can focus on listening to the customer, showing empathy, and building real connections.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That vision may seem like a distant prospect for those still leveraging on-premise technology and first-generation cloud solutions. Yet, it\u2019s one that some vendors are making a possibility every day.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Work with a Partner That Gets It<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2015, UJET broke into the contact center technology market with a solution designed around the modern smartphone, enabling a multimodal experience and simplifying channel shift. Still, that differentiates its CCaaS platform.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since then, it has built out its solution further, leveraging a tight relationship with Google to apply the latest generative AI advancements to the contact center via virtual agents, agent-assistance, conversational intelligence, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Its cloud contact center has resonated especially well in the midmarket, where companies are more agile and ready to embrace a strategy to best balance the strengths of human and AI agents.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For more on its transformative contact center technologies, visit: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ujet.cx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">ujet.cx<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has made several quips around the future of customer service.\u00a0\u00a0 First, he predicted human customer support will be \u201ctotally, totally gone\u201d.
