Alcatel-Lucent, has learned that communications service providers have a tremendous opportunity to differentiate themselves in the marketplace with the use of innovative self-assist customer service tools.
A comprehensive study of smartphone users carried out recently by Alcatel-Lucent in Brazil, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States found that consumers prefer to avoid dealing with service provider helpdesks, and that there is growing evidence of a preference for using app-based self-service tools to resolve many common service issues.
The market research found that:
- More than a quarter of Japanese, UK and US consumers prefer not to call assistdesks.
- Almost half of Brazilians are more likely to ignore a problem or allow it to persist to avoid contacting a assistdesk.
- While customer service assistdesks remain the primary channel for resolving services issues, it is not the only channel and consumers are showing a growing interest in self-service tools.
- Japanese consumers are most willing to use self-assist tools such as apps, with up to half of UK consumers and as many as 42% of those in the US willing to sort out their own issues. In Brazil, 53-59% did report a willingness to use self-service tools, depending on the service.
- The functions consumers most want to see in service providers’ apps comprise billing information, troubleshooting capabilities, usage tracking and security alerts.
