Managing customer and employee feedback is critical to maintaining their trust and satisfaction, and the LivePerson-Medallia partnership makes this process seamless. Brands can now automatically trigger Medallia feedback mechanisms within LivePerson conversations, as well as LivePerson conversations following Medallia feedback, all within the messaging channels consumers use every day with family and friends, including SMS, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Apple Business Chat, and more.

LivePerson and Medallia announced a new partnership to seamlessly integrate conversations and surveys for brands.

The LivePerson-Medallia partnership brings together two customer experience pioneers to help brands engage customers when and where it matters. The partnership will empower brands to:

• Trigger Medallia feedback directly within conversations in LivePerson’s Conversational Cloud
• Gain a holistic view of full, cross-channel customer journeys
• Proactively message customers in real time based on their feedback, plus route them to the best agent or bot for the job
• Use different triggers to hand over conversations to live agents, including sentiment or likelihood to recommend
• Leverage post-conversation analytics for future development, including brand strategy, product strategy, and customer service training
• View feedback details and agent interaction reporting in both Medallia and LivePerson’s Conversational Cloud

“As a client of both LivePerson and Medallia, we’ve been looking for ways to bring their services together to make the most of our customer conversations and feedback,” said Robert Beatty, Chief Experience Officer at GM Financial. “We’re looking forward to being among the first brands to explore ways to take advantage of this new integration.”

Using Medallia Experience Cloud, customers can reduce churn, turn detractors into promoters and buyers, create in-the-moment cross-sell and upsell opportunities, and drive revenue-impacting business decisions.

“Customers and employees leave daily signals about how they feel when engaging with businesses, and being able to capture as many of these signals as possible is critical to making revenue-impacting business decisions. The combination of LivePerson and Medallia will deliver another powerful way for brands to capture critical customer feedback,” said Steve Vierra, Senior Vice President of Channels, Alliances and Global Partnerships.
