On the other end of the phone, a suspiciously friendly but robotic voice says, “Is this information correct? Say ‘yes’ or press 1; say ‘no’ or press 2.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear that.”
Sound frustratingly familiar? The truth is, many businesses are trying to save money and time by using automated customer service tools such as chat widgets and AI conversations. It sounds good on the surface, but in actuality, customers end up more frustrated and probably don’t get their questions answered.
Interacting with these automated systems can put the customer in an endless holding pattern, coming back to the same questions over and over.
By the time the customer gets an answer to their question, you may be on your way to losing that customer permanently. In short, relying solely on automated customer service leads to frustration, and potentially poor online reviews and a damaged reputation.
Automated customer service tools use a combination of AI-based language and logic, which sounds great but means that complex questions can take a long time to answer, or the bot may give an incorrect answer. Worse, the bot could lead you to repeat questions, and then we’re back to that holding pattern.
