Optimizing the Customer Journey in Financial Services
Today, the way a company deals with its customers determines its success and growth more than ever. For financial institutions it is also extremely important to pay attention to their customers’ experience starting with the initial contact, through the engagement process and during the entire long-term relationship. The aim is to constantly provide superb service quality in each stage of the customer journey. Consistency is the key: if the customer is satisfied with onboarding but administration is poor, a drop out can be expected.
The first decisive stage is the client acquisition. People are tired of filling out endless forms especially when applying for banking services thus we believe that a mobile first approach is the key for acquiring potential new clients. Today, there are 2.6 billion smartphone subscriptions globally which number will reach 6.1 billion by 2020 and this also signifies an evolution in customer behavior. In the recent years, people have been increasingly changing the medium through which they connect and communicate moving towards to more text-centric and social messaging platforms. What can prove it better than Facebook Messenger’s 1.2 billion users reached by April 2017? Among the many things we can do with our phones today texting is the most-done activity. Moreover, texting is no longer just a trend of millennials, in 2015, 97% of the US population sent at least one text a day.
Dorsum agrees with the forecasts and accordingly thinks that most probably the future of FinTech lies in mobile technology. This is why we created our chatbot platform, Botboarding. Utilizing chat can help wealth managers to connect easily with a broader customer base, social media alone gives access to more than hundreds of millions of users. The chatbot guides potential clients through the whole acquisition process until they become a new qualified prospect. For financial advisors, chatbots open up new opportunities to differentiate their offerings from competitors. The platform incorporates human-like communication with traditional customer data gathering and user profiling in a fast and easy way. Additionally, a real time analytics can be seen which helps to optimize the bot’s behavior and seamless CRM systems integration.
