At TTEC Digital, we believe the conversation — where a customer directly engages with your brand — is the most critical moment in the customer journey. In that moment, the experience can deepen a customer relationship, or damage it forever.  That’s why TTEC Digital is singularly obsessed with optimizing customer experience (CX) at the point of conversation. These conversations, and the contact center technologies that support them, are inseparable. We've built content to help viewers apply powerful technology and proven CX strategy together. 

Across industries, customers are encountering new and powerful ways to engage with businesses. And with each positive experience, their expectations evolve for all future interactions.

This “last best experience” phenomenon has big ramifications for every business. Failure to meet these rising expectations can be disastrous for brand reputation, customer retention, and market competitiveness.

Today, the leading customer experiences in financial services are defined by channel-rich, AI-enabled customer experience hubs. These hubs include omnichannel capabilities, automation, self-service tools, data-driven analytics, and more. While the vision for CX is clear, achieving this end state can feel far more complicated. 

At TTEC Digital, we’ve guided hundreds of financial services organizations through four key levels of contact center maturity on their way to achieving their CX and business goals. Join our live interactive event on Wednesday, August 14 at 12 p.m. CT to learn our tried-and-true approach to advancing CX maturity. 

Throughout the event, live polling will help you identify maturity gaps within your organization and compare them with your peers in financial services. 

Topics we’ll address: 

• Compliance and basic telephony 
• Integrations and channel expansion 
• Self-service, automation, content management, and data-driven decision-making
• Business transformation with AI

How to level up your contact center maturity in financial services

The modern customer experience is complicated. In most industries, it takes place across multiple channels and conversations over time. This complexity makes it increasingly difficult to answer key questions, like: 

• Is my customer experience working as it should? 
• Could my customer experience be more efficient? 
• Are there opportunities to reduce friction? 

The frustrating truth is that the answers to these questions are often right there in front of you. Every single customer interaction creates a data point in the larger trends taking place across your organization’s daily customer interactions. 

In this learning session, hosted by TTEC Digital’s resident analytics expert Marcy Riordan, you'll learn how to turn conversation data into critical insights that can power the exceptional experiences your customers are asking for. Following the presentation, Marcy will be available for live Q&A.

Conversation Intelligence 101

In the collections industry, margins can be tight. That’s why it’s no surprise reducing costs and increasing recovery rates are often at the top of the priority list year in and year out.  

Your contact center platform sits at the center of both these issues. Disjointed integration between collections platforms, contact center platforms, and other key functionality represents one of the leading causes of operational inefficiency. Meanwhile, outdated outbound tactics that fail to consider customer preferences for digital channels can further damage your agency’s performance.  

We’ve put together an expert team of panelists from TTEC Digital, Genesys and Latitude to explore a proven approach to balancing cost and performance that’s as easy as 1-2-3:  

• Selecting the right channel capabilities at the lowest per-minute usage rate 
• Consolidating disparate solutions into a single cost-efficient contact center platform  
• Integrating AI-enabled tools to drive performance without increasing overhead 

Ready to get out of the strategy and dive into the TCO math? 

As a part of this session, you’ll also explore how each of these factors can help drive total cost of ownership by walking through a series of helpful TCO exercises.

Collections leaders — your current contact center platform is losing you money

According to a recent Gartner consumer trends survey, a clear majority (70% of respondents) now prefer self-service channels like chat over voice channels. 

Yet, in reality, many chat experiences routinely fall short of customer expectations. They’re limited. They’re incomplete. And, in many cases, they eventually funnel you to voice channels anyway. 

In the latest episode of our Unlocking Vertex AI podcast series, TTEC Digital’s Director of AI Solutions Aaron Schroeder joins Executive Director of Voice and AI Bot Professional Services Mark Eichten, as they dive into the world of personalized chat experiences. In a wide-ranging conversation, Mark and Aaron cover the essentials for crafting tailored chat interactions that serve customers an end-to-end elevated experience. 

The discussion covers: 

• The impact of personalization on customer satisfaction and loyalty 
• How Vertex AI can help drive understanding of customer intent and preferences
• Where to deploy AI chatbots that deliver dynamic, relevant conversations 
• Real-world examples of successful chatbot deployments 

Whether you’re just starting your AI journey or looking to enhance existing chat strategies, this episode will provide the guidance you need to take the next step with Vertex AI.
