What are your customers experiencing right now? If you don’t know, your company’s brand, revenue, profitability, growth and perception among customers, investors, regulators and partners are all at risk.
That’s a lot on the line, but we all know delivering excellent customer experience is easier said than done. This report includes five short case studies from diverse operators around the world – BT Global Services, Ethio Telecom, Saudi Telecom Company, Telecom Italia and Vodafone South Africa – to see how they approach the issue.
And it’s a never-ending quest, as customers’ expectations rise and services are increasingly delivered through partnerships. Public Wi-Fi is a great example. Aggregators package service from multiple hotspot owners and then resell it to their cable, mobile and telco partners. Typically, the brand selling the services has little or no visibility into its partners’ networks, but the brand that takes the hit when experience doesn’t match expectations.
