Business use cases for Conversational AI, Generative AI, LLMs, and Conversational Intelligence. In-depth analysis, real-world case studies, and proven business value for customer service, CX, marketing, and revenue acceleration. 

The typical B2C buying journey is digital-first, but it’s not digital-only. Most high-value leads convert via the contact center for B2C brands in high-touch industries where purchases are complex and expensive. However, the laser focus on digital loses sight of the offline experience, causing disjointed buyer experiences for customers and poor revenue growth for brands. 

The modern online-to-offline buying journey requires full orchestration from the first click to the final human touch that drives the sale. Invoca’s revenue execution platform accomplishes this by connecting the contact center to every caller’s digital journey data. This brings the details of the digital journey straight to the agent who picks up the phone and enables sales and marketing leaders to optimize every piece of the buying journey. 

Join Opus Research and Invoca for a live, interactive webinar to learn how connecting the buying journey data from click, to call, to conversion drives more revenue and customer lifetime value. Topics include:

*  Using revenue execution platforms to connect the contact center, sales, and marketing teams
*  Identifying and predicting customer intent to improve CX, retention, and conversion rates
*  Adding AI-powered automation that optimizes agent performance, CSAT, and revenue
*  Establishing revenue-focused KPIs for the modern buying journey 
*  How to utilize AI-powered first-party customer data in a secure and privacy-friendly manner

Overview of topic and discussion
The key to providing a great customer experience is meeting customers in their support channel of choice, the phone. Automated self-service and intelligent assistants benefit from simple, narrow support requirements for customer care, saving considerable live agent costs in call deflection. The best call automation assistants can reliably handle high volumes of user intents (e.g., status of order, cancel order, change my order, returns, etc.) with impressive precision. The benefits are well known but have long been out-of-reach for most brands.

One company that is delivering better customer experiences with call automation is RedRoute. The company has achieved success by emphasizing speed to deploy (~30 minutes) and delivering results. For contact centers on modern tech stacks, RedRoute can automate a significant portion of calls and free live agents to handle more complex support cases, enabling brands to affordably deliver high quality phone support. RedRoute's SaaS solution has strong adoption with eCommerce brands, and the company just announced the closing of their $6.5M Seed Round.

The Modern CX Tech Stack

Smartphones and other mobile devices are increasingly the first point of connection between individuals and their banks, insurance companies, healthcare providers, universities, government agencies, and a growing variety of retailers. So when it comes to building trust, preventing fraud, and activating potential customers, a safe and efficient mobile onboarding experience is your gateway to a fruitful and long-lasting customer journey.

And yet, many large and highly capable organizations are still struggling to safeguard, expedite, and otherwise optimize this process. All the while, fintechs and other digital-native businesses continue to siphon away customers by virtue of having mastered this one, crucial area of technical expertise.

Join Opus Research for a conversation with executives from Daon, a market leader in biometric-based identity assurance, in a live, interactive webinar (Wednesday, July 28) to hear how identity proofing and onboarding can make or break the modern customer experience, and how your organization can take immediate, concrete steps to protect, enhance, and unify your identity processes at every stage of the customer journey.
