Chatbots Deliver Speed But Consumers Want Humans!


A chatbot is a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users, especially over the Internet.

A recent Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) publication reveals that although chatbots deliver speed, consumers still want humans.

While Chatbots are great at processing quick service requests, chatbot answers are not as detailed and are less helpful.

The top 4 reasons consumers give up on chatbots are;
1)   Issue is too complex and usual
2)   BOT redirects user to FAQs
3)   BOT takes too long to respond
4)   Conversation feels impersonal

Looking to implement or have implemented a chatbot in your organization? Please take the time to read this publication (link: https://www.cgsinc.com/en/infographics/chatbots-deliver-speed-but-consumers-want-humans) and then look inwards. The purpose of the chatbots is not to make life easy for you but to make life easy for your customer.

Have a good one!

    DSTV: Before now, I used to receive prompts from my cable TV service provider, notifying me of the expiration of my subscription. These days, my connection just goes off at expiration, then i'll have to call in over and over again. Can they simply send me an email if it's the cost of sms that is preventing them from doing the needful?
    I hear now that they have gone ahead to increase the rate if despite the restraint placed on from the NASS on the proposed price hike?

Auto Dealership Customer Acquisition Drivers

Customer acquisition drivers impact customer retention because after conversion, if the experience your customers have post buying, using or sharing your product or service does not align with the expectations leading to conversion (reasons for choosing you), it is highly likely that your customers will churn.

Stanbic IBTC Improves Banking Experience #NoMoreDepositSlips!

It is always super cool to see businesses/organizations proactively improve their customers' experience and in this case, Stanbic IBTC changes the game for the banking industry in Nigeria! About 2 weeks ago, I got a pop up message saying; " Avoid filling deposit forms, just walk straight to the teller and speak your transactions. Call 01-4222222 for more " Out of curiosity, I went to a branch of the bank and requested for a deposit slip. The security officer in the banking hall asked if I needed to make a cash transfer and on confirmation, I was told that the bank no longer requires deposit slips and I could simply speak with a teller and they will handle my transaction. At this point, I knew I had to explain my objective and requested to see the branch/operations manager. I gave him my business card, explained what I do and why I needed to try out both services to ascertain the impact on my experience as a customer and he had to dig in to get me a deposit slip so I...

Patient Experience at Eko Hospital

The experience a customer/patient has at a hospital is hinged on the quality of not just the specialist health care service he or she receives but also on the quality of his or her service experience. In the experience shared below from a customer/patient at Eko Hospital, what was negatively impacted was the quality of his/her service experience and I will break this down in more detail as well as share what Eko and other hospitals in Nigeria can do to make sure they manage their patients' experience properly in line with their wait time to see a consultant. STORY SHARED "...I have been looking for an opportunity to vent about my last experience at Eko Hospital, Ikeja. I woke up one morning to meet an early appointment, got their before 8am but left at about 12.30pm without seeing the Consultant. What a waste of time.  I wonder how many patients have lost their lives out of this level of carelessness on their part. I rate them 0/5" My Perspective. In reviewing ...
