Giving Great Customer Service through Dynamics 365

How easy are you to do business with? Do you have policies or procedures in place right now that can get in the way of the customer contacting you? One of the top customer service trends for 2019 is that customers are expecting more convenience from the companies they’re dealing with. And, right alongside that particular trend, is the growing demand for self-service customer service. Customers don’t just want a quick answer or resolution to their problem – they’re demanding it.

Dynamics 365 is, as mentioned above, an innovative, modern, and adaptable platform that can help you adapt quickly to your customers’ needs, including self-service capabilities.

Here are the top 3 ways that Dynamics 365 for Customer Service can help you give great customer service:

1. Delivering to Your Customers’ Expectations

The bottom line of any organization out there is that you need to fulfill your customers’ expectations. Without your customers, you don’t have a viable way to sustain your business. When trying to live up to your customer’s expectations, it’s important to take into consideration this prevailing culture of instant gratification that we are living in. If they want a coffee, people aren’t content to wait in line to order it – they’ve downloaded their favourite coffee store’s app so they can order their coffee when they want it and pick it up at their convenience.

This culture of instant gratification doesn’t necessarily need to be a bad thing for your organization, and, with the automation capabilities of a tool like Microsoft Dynamics 365, you can help your customers, even before they realize they need help! Check out this short video below for an example of what we mean:

2. Enhance Your Customer Journey

How, as a company, do you enhance your customer journey? How do you help your customers find out who you are, understand what you’re offering, interact with your sales team, purchase your product or service, and come back for more? Further, are you providing them with easy ways to resolve issues that might come up, gather more information on the products they’ve purchased, and speak to live staff members when they have questions they can’t answer themselves?

Part of enhancing that customer journey is embracing new technology, like Artificial Intelligence, in your organization. When people hear “artificial intelligence”, they don’t often think of how easy it can be to implement in their organization, but by implementing the AI capabilities in Dynamics 365 for Customer Service, you can reduce wait times, improve resolution rates, and increase overall customer satisfaction, which all works towards enhancing your customer’s end-to-end journey.

HP Inc. deals with over 600 million contacts per year. See how they’ve taken advantage of Microsoft’s integrations with artificial intelligence to enhance their customer journey in this short video:

3. Empowering Your Agents

Your customer service workers are arguably one of the most important points of contact for your customers to reach you. So, you want to make sure they have the best tools that empower them to do their work to the best of their ability. Above, we mentioned automation that enabled your team to proactively alert your customers to potential issues, but one of the great things about Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Service is that the built-in automation works both ways.

With its intelligent automation, Dynamics 365 for Customer Service can guide your agents to the appropriate help actions, and show relevant information through the single interface, exactly when your agents need it. In fact, those built-in agent-facing bots can feed your agents the most relevant information to assist a client, use contextual data about the customer and about your business to make recommendations that would potentially avoid escalations, and make cross-selling and upselling recommendations as well.

In-app collaboration capabilities, combined with Dynamics 365’s internal knowledge base can also keep your employees in-the-know, too. This short video below shows how Dynamics 365 for Customer Service makes it possible to empower your employees and give them the best chance to make a great first impression:
