The latest trend in consumer to business communication channels shows that while more than 70% of respondents use brands’ official websites and stores as contact channels, less than 70% use the phone channel, dropping for seven consecutive years. Over 50% of respondents use messaging apps and chats. Next-generation channels, like the metaverse, have emerged as communication channels, suggesting a further shift to digital as well as diversification of channels, in particular among Gen Z.

Taking a closer look at consumer’s problem solving process, the survey shows that two in three consumers consider changing to a different company when self-service customer support channels fail to resolve their issues. This reveals that increasing the self-service completion rate is vital for optimizing CX. To achieve this, businesses must take initiatives to increase self-service completion rate such as enhancing content, user interface (UI) and user flows of their official websites, and expanding chat service coverage. The report also says that making the most of voice of the customers (VoC) and voice of frontline employees in taking action will lead to stronger corporate earnings and brand image.
