AI Beyond Chatbots: A Deep Dive with Fetch's Support Operations VP

Customer service is the bedrock of solid business operations, and an area where technology  can play an important role. Companies have used clunky, automated systems for years, it has frustrated consumers who have come to expect immediate, personal responses.

Customer service drives over two-thirds of customer loyalty, outperforming brand and price combined, according to a study by Gartner. Major advances in AI and personalisation promise to improve customer service departments. AI may enable businesses to automate processes, alleviate pressure on agents, gain insights from data and improve interactions. However, AI can also lead to a lack of personal connection and concerns about data privacy, security and job displacement.

Moreover, the expectations around customer experience differ across generations: what wise elders and spirited youths want are not always the same. AI may bring fast-paced, impersonal interactions that are preferred by some but not by others. It can transform a company’s customer services but how it is implemented requires careful thought—and can harm customer satisfaction if not harnessed well. 

The panel discussed:
-How are advances in technology and evolving consumer expectations transforming customer service? What are the impacts of AI and personalisation?
-Will generative AI be transformative for customer service, and if so, how? 
-In what ways are consumers’ expectations changing, and how must conversational commerce and services change to meet the preferences of different generations? 
-How can businesses strike a balance between AI-driven automation and human interaction to enhance the customer experience? How can AI help companies streamline workflows, reduce expenses and thus have the funds to boost  reinvestment? 
-What are the privacy and security concerns associated with AI? How can businesses ensure robust data protections? 
-How can businesses navigate the trade-offs between the benefits and downsides of AI in customer service?

Transforming customer service: the impact of AI

E-commerce has always been a mainstay for retail organizations, but even more so in the last 3 years as companies attempt to merge the online and in-store customer experience (CX) in a cohesive, consistent way.

However, Zendesk’s annual CX Trends Report, which surveys 1000s of businesses which with they work, indicates that only 20% of these companies have the tools necessary to create this in-sync CX.

Our panel of experts expound upon this notable CX tool gap and discuss how retail companies can leverage artificial intelligence (AI), and specifically generative AI, to assist with this merging of in-store and online experiences. 

Join the presentation to stay on the pulse of the rapidly evolving use cases and innovation of gen AI in retail and CX.

Jeanne Jones, Global Director of Job Seeker Success at Indeed, quarterbacked an effort to bake out a team—separate from the main customer success organization—specifically focused on enabling and supporting job seeker success. 

As part of this mammoth initiative, Jones spoke with each of her new team members to identify what inspires them about their jobs, as well as their biggest challenges, of which 3 emerged:
• The team lacked their own identity & vision.
• A better data strategy was needed, to generate insights & become advocates for job seekers.
• The team required better workflow optimization for daily tasks.

Jones explains in this webinar how she resolved this last item by utilizing Zendesk, as well as her path to navigating the remaining two issues. Building a new foundation for job seeker success and enhancing employee engagement in one movement isn’t easy—tune in to see how Indeed achieved both!

Zendesk Senior Manager of Events Roisin Hunt poses the following question to kick-off this “A CX Moment” episode—to which we assume many of you can relate: “What’s the most important part of buying your favorite cup of coffee or tea—is it speed, friendly staff, or both?”

While this query is certainly related to the process of picking up your favorite latte, at second blush, it’s just as applicable to customer experience (CX) and customer success organizations, who find challenging the balance between speedy resolution of requests and building long-term (read: revenue-driving) customer relationships. 

We invite you to watch Hunt’s conversation with two senior customer experience managers at Dutch Bros Coffee, Angi Veek and Sonia Martin, who illuminate how they achieve this balance, establish unified CX from their field stores to HQ, and envision integrating AI into their daily workflows.

January often invites us to hit reset, and to set resolutions or goals for the year ahead to level up our personal and professional lives. Though, any month can serve as that reset button, and in this sphere, the terms “resolution” and “goal” are often used interchangeably. 

However, there is a difference, both subtle and important: conceptualizing a resolution is much like setting an intention, whereas a goal requires action. 

So, how do you move your well-crafted resolutions into the goals phase, and in doing so make more conscious choices about work, wellness, and wellbeing in the current and next year?

Renown Olympic Medalist Shannon Miller sits down with 3 other women leaders to discuss this process, to assist with your own goal-setting process, and to explain how to apply this goal-setting mentality to both personal and business development.
