It is also the reason why people will choose your products and services on a repeated basis. It is quite simple really, with no customers, there is no company. The path that consumers travel on to make a purchase, is called the “customer journey.” It is an important part of your company’s customer service experience. You want your customers to think, “Wow! That was super easy!” or “That was a great experience.” A great customer journey will eliminate buyer’s remorse, improve your retention rates, and eliminate any errors and complaints. Econsultancy and Adobe asked B2B companies to report on what the most exciting opportunity for growth in 2020 is and the leading answer was, “customer experience.” Growth In customer experience Report source: https://www.superoffice.com However, there are many challenges to provide the kind of customer experience that makes people want to buy from you and stay with you.

How Do AI and Big Data Help in the Customer Journey?

When a company plans the customer journey, they create an experience that ideally is unique to the brand. To successfully interact with customers or website visitors, it’s important to know their intentions behind their behavior. In other words, what is your visitor trying to accomplish? Sometimes, what the visitor says and what they want are two different things. Now, with AI, companies have the power to find out the intentions of their visitors. This is a huge advancement in technology. It can be compared to a mind reader in a sense.

11 Ways to Use AI Tools That Can Help Improve the Customer Journey

  1. Virtual assistants that automate the customer service process
  2. Agent-facing bots for more authentic and faster interactions
  3. Chatbots for conversational ecommerce and troubleshooting
  4. Tools for sentiment analysis to collect information on your clients’ emotional reactions
  5. Automated routing to streamline any potential issues
  6. Emotion AI for better customer service
  7. AI systems for cross-selling as well as up-selling
  8. AI analysis to increase sales
  9. Facial recognition to facilitate faster payments
  10. Robotic process automation AI to reduce business response time (great for large corporations)
  11. AI for identifying anomalies and reducing fraud

Many forward-thinking companies have already started deploying AI tools. For example, Amazon is already launching an AI system for increasing sales. In more detail, the system knows (by analyzing your buying habits) when you will be running out of a consumable product. It automatically places the order for you. AI uses machine learning to understand the data and context in order to predict (or identify) certain customer actions and questions. AI is used by companies that have recognized the value of anticipating the customers’ needs, therefore reducing any additional effort from the client.

How to Integrate AI Technology Into Your Company

Attempting to develop your own AI technology from scratch can be frustrating and confusing. Choose an existing AI vendor and consult with them to identify the areas where AI can begin helping you optimize the customer’s journey. There are a lot of benefits of using AI to improve customer experience. It can help you with the following:

  • Smart email suggestions
  • Social media automated responses (chatbots)
  • Auto-ticket creation based on conversations for a quick resolution to an issue
  • Automated routing and resource management
  • Chatbot commerce
  • Smart bots for common FAQs
  • Smart bots that can remember users and continue conversations with them in a natural manner

What Are Some Big Data Tools That Can Help Improve the Customer Journey?

Analytics is the answer here. Big data has the power to transform the relationship between a customer and a company. When big data is used responsibly, it helps a company to see the experience from the customer’s point of view, leading to a better understanding of customers and their needs. This process minimizes any gaps that can disconnect the customer from the customer journey. The ultimate results of responsibly using big data is better engagement, personalized targeting, and clear communication. Big data can have a positive impact on your company. For example, if the customer journey is cleaner and optimized, then your company will experience:

  • Less complaints
  • Fewer calls
  • Better ROI on marketing activities
  • Stronger loyalty
  • More sales
  • Prediction of future trends

Conclusion

AI and big data are at the forefront of technology now. They are already predicting trends and can help improve everything from customer experiences to medical research. The big takeaways are that AI and big data will help companies:

  • Engage with their customers better, and guide those customers to take the steps needed to complete transactions faster and more efficiently.
  • Be available for communication 24/7 via AI chatbots that can recognize a returning client and carry out natural conversations.
  • Find pain points in the customer journey, fix them, and create a cleaner online atmosphere for faster transactions.
  • Automate and personalize the customer experience, again facilitating better customer experiences, and quicker conversions.
