Multi-Channel CX Studies

The Multi-Channel (also known as touchpoints) Customer Experience Study uses customer surveys to capture feedback when using a call center and another contact channel (e.g., web self-service, email, IVR self-service, chat, and social media) to resolve the same inquiry or problem.

Multi-Channel Customer Experience Benchmarking and Tracking

SQM’s multi-channel post-call survey has a proven track record for measuring the attributes that accurately assess and benchmark your omni-channel customer satisfaction (Csat), one contact resolution, customer effort, call deflection, and CX improvement opportunities. A random sample of post-contact telephone surveys is conducted with customers who had a transaction with your call center and, in many cases, another contact channel. SQM's research shows that approximately 20% of customers calling a call center also used another contact channel (e.g., email, web self-service, IVR self-service, chat, or social media) to resolve their same inquiry or problem.

The Multi-Channel CX post-contact customer study consists of:

  • Altogether, approximately 2000 post-contact surveys
  • 1600 of the total surveys are only 2 minutes long for customers who only used one contact channel
  • 400 of the total surveys are 5 minutes long for customers who used multiple channels

Multi-Channel CX Benchmarking Study

A one-time study that takes 2-3 weeks to complete. The post-contact customer survey is completed as a live interview with SQM’s in-house Telephone Survey Representatives. SQM benchmarks your contact center’s multi-channel CX delivery against the performance of over 500 leading North American contact centers. SQM Benchmarking Study participation qualifies your contact center for multi-channel CX awards.

A 50-page multi-channel customer experience benchmarking report will be delivered to you and your management team via onsite consultation or a video conference call with a senior SQM consultant.
