In order for your customer experience management (CEM) program to have any real impact, you have to be open to change. Brands with staying power are the ones that turn customer feedback into an opportunity to learn and do better next time. And with 1 in 3 customers saying they will leave a brand they love after one bad experience, the pressure is on to identify customer issues fast, respond immediately, and provide a timely and painless resolution.
In a previous blog, we discussed 3 ways case management drives customer loyalty and business outcomes. Next we’ll look at how case management goes beyond helping resolve customer issues by providing systematic insights on how to improve your overall recovery process.

The visual, color-coded time metrics on the smg360® dashboard provide a quick snapshot of resolution stats—including average resolution time and counts of escalated, unresolved, and resolved cases. This helps paint a clearer picture of where you are succeeding and where your efforts should be directed. Does your team need to work on quicker responses? Is there a gap in communication where actions are falling through the cracks? Case management provides these answers so you can prioritize and take immediate action.
Case management provides insight into how well your organization is handling customer issues, how those problems are being resolved, and how you can improve the process. Customer complaints are a great learning tool—these real-life examples can serve as coaching situations for your field teams so they can do better next time. Having access to an organized, easy-to-use system that tracks customer issues from onset to resolution will give your brand the competitive advantage it needs to come out on top.
The best way to keep field-team associates motivated is to shed light on the tangible, day-to-day impact of an efficient close-the-loop process. Provide splash pages, infographics, or monthly newsletters to keep everyone up-to-speed on customer recovery efforts.
To recap, let’s take a look at a few benefits of implementing a formal case management process:
