11:00 am - 11:30 am CASE KEYNOTE: Exploring the Benefits of Better Bots

While customer service centers put chatbots in place years ago to free up time for their employees as they handled customer inquiries, the argument stands that there could have been a better way. Waiting on hold when dialing in, receiving a series of automated responses that don’t meet our needs, waiting in line—these are all extreme pain points along the customer journey. With today’s advancement in technology, a variety of companies can now resuscitate their customer service by deploying more intelligent bots.

·         Free hours of time for more meaningful customer interactions
·         Help retain top customers and regain customers
