Specifically, they were looking to find a more proactive communications solution, rather than a reactive one.

“We use skills-based routing to ensure that our customers receive the best possible customer service by ensuring that an agent fully capable, qualified and trained to handle their inquiry responds to their query,” said Carter. “We bring social media monitoring to evaluate areas that would improve and enhance their customer journey.
