What you’ll experience with SMG's Ignite Text Analytics
Published on Oct 22, 2024
As customers interact with your brand across multiple touchpoints and channels, they generate a wealth of data that can be both overwhelming and fragmented. The key challenge lies in harnessing this data effectively to drive actionable insights across your business.
To help you improve experiences, elevate customer satisfaction, and drive revenue, our Ignite Text Analytics (TA) model extracts key insights from every customer comment and translates them to information you can use to deliver strategic improvements.
You can then ensure swift resolution of customer issues and continuous improvement of service delivery. This empowers teams and allows frontline staff to deliver exceptional customer experiences that foster lasting loyalty and business growth.
Please note, these enhancements are currently exclusive to SMG support teams and not yet directly accessible by clients in smg360. Clients will benefit from the improved reports, analysis, insights, and suggested actions provided by the Client Insights and Research teams.
Let’s explore ways you'll achieve greater efficiency and enable impactful action planning with SMG’s Ignite TA.
Deeper customer understanding
We know how important it is for you to make informed decisions and drive meaningful improvements in customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Our Ignite TA tool integrates cutting-edge GenAI to extract and report essential details including categories, sub-categories, entities, intent, and themes from customer feedback.
Recognizing that a single comment often covers multiple themes, this approach strengthens your understanding and decision-making by highlighting key insights from every customer comment.
Impact to key metrics
Ignite TA will quantify the impact key themes have on your main KPIs (such as OSAT or NPS) and help prioritize where your frontline teams should focus to drive the most significant improvements in customer satisfaction and operational effectiveness.
SMG’s Ignite TA model is especially helpful with strategically tailoring and prioritizing actions to each location’s unique needs.
Automated summaries to democratize insights
Our Ignite TA model allows you to save time so you can focus on enhancing customer experiences. Users can quickly generate summaries of customer feedback, producing focus areas and action items for top impact themes. It allows non-research and customer experience (CX) professionals alike to dive into data, run summaries, and explore insights effortlessly.
Also, our newest GenAI models understand text better, are faster to develop, require less training data, and deliver a better overall experience.
Benchmark performance
Benchmarking enables you to set the right goals for your brand and frontline teams by comparing your performance against industry standards at the local and brand level, ensuring you remain competitive and foster continuous improvement.
Understanding how your impact scores compare to your overall brand performance means you can pinpoint specific strengths and weaknesses, allowing targeted efforts to enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
