“That is something that we’re starting to work on. If you call the call center today and would call them tomorrow with the same issue we do tracking on that. But it’s channel specific. You can go to a branch and then to the web, we’ll never know you went to the branch and then to the web. The contact center does not see that. We’re trying to get the look and feel the same. Retail is really driving this. From operations we’re trying to attach ourselves there; we want our inserts to match with what you see at the branch. That the mobile and the internet experience will match the branch experience and the paper experience… that’s two years away. But we’re doing the ground work now. There’s a plan for it. ”

Why (and how) do companies focus on optimizing the customer experience?
– Better targeted offerings (e.g. up-sell, cross-sell) – Personalization (if done well) enables more relevancy in communications
– Enabling digital self-service portals – Provide mobile platforms – Focus on providing (and honouring!) channel preference management
– Provide consistency in brand, style and messaging – Provide same experience for offline and online channels – Create customer loyalty by delivering excellence in customer communications
