TRACK 2: IMPACTING ENTERPRISE ROI THROUGH CCM

Customers no longer accept “we don’t know” when calling your contact center. Fortunately, now you can capture real time information on the mailstream to make better decisions and to respond to customer inquiries. Learn how mail tracking information can be connected to business processes to reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and increase marketing effectiveness. Hear a case study on how Pitney Bowes small business division is leveraging Planet Codes to understand and refine direct mail readership, response rates, and multi-channel campaign tracking.

CCM Deliverability and Call Center Effectiveness
Valuable information from the mail stream and the USPS rarely makes its way to the call center. Information such as what is in a mail piece, when it was mailed, where it is now and when it will arrive can significantly reduce the amount of time per call and increase your first-call resolution percentage. Learn how to put best practices in place to obtain real-time information from mail operations into the call center. Join us to learn how you can increase the effectiveness of your contact center before, during and after the call through CCM best practices. You’ll hear how leading organizations are benefiting from being able to present CSR’s with exact copies of bills and statements, detailed information on promotional offers and terms and conditions inserted in each mail piece, and access to mail piece status from mail piece creation through the entire lifecycle to the USPS carrier route.

CCM Self Service and Beyond
Routine, non-value-added calls flood call centers. Customers often call asking about payment receipt, when a new credit card will arrive, if late fees can be waived, or just to check their balance. What would be the ultimate in enterprise efficiency and effectiveness? Enabling self-service for the entire mail stream lifecycle. Empower your customers with information and intuitive tools to answer their questions and others online and via an integrated voice response (IVR) system. Use it to increase customer satisfaction, reduce the burden on your call center and drive the efficiency of your enterprise. Web portals can now go beyond electronic bill presentment and payment, enabling you to migrate frequent and time-consuming calls to automated, interactive and less costly channels. Learn how to link information contained within the bill and the mail stream to your web site to increase the usage of customer self-service applications.

CUSTOMER PANELS

Panel discussions with customers have been established to complement the conference tracks. Hear directly from top executives at leading firms how and why they implemented best practices in CCM strategies. Panelists will discuss how they have reduced costs, while retaining and attracting more customers. Key areas will be their pressing issues, the implementation challenges, and of course, how they are realizing ROI across the enterprise from their initiatives. Come prepared with your best questions.
