Kriti Kapoor, Global Director of Social Customer Care at HP Inc., joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss the myriad ways customer service has had to adapt to social media, which platforms are best for solving which types of problems, and why it’s so important to embrace global social customer service.
Integrating Marketing Services and Customer Support
Integrating Marketing Services and Customer SupportKriti Kapoor spent many years in marketing services, working for several large companies and startups alike. She has found dynamic ways to keep her career interesting, and her decision to join HP was driven by the unique opportunity to reach millions of customers around the world.
HP is a pioneer in social customer service. They have been reaching out to customers and solving problems online for years. Kapoor’s role as the head of this division has her overseeing all of the systems, processes, and trainings for the customer service team as they respond to over 100,000 online conversations in seven languages on 104 social media channels across 95 countries each month. She is like a mini CEO for her team of social customer service heroes.
Using Customer Insights for Business Success
But social customer service isn’t just about helping your customers. It provides extremely detailed and valuable information about your audience behaviors, needs, and values. You are on the front lines of customer connection when you’re in customer service, and learning how to effectively engage with and utilize the insights gleaned from these relationships is paramount to overall business growth.
It’s not an easy job, however, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to social customer support, just like any other social media or marketing program isn’t going to work for every audience. It’s important to test user behavior, find out how customers want to listen and respond, develop partnerships with marketing teams to expand your social footprint, and determine what percentage of that traffic is coming from customer support inquiries vs. content marketing efforts. Then, and only then, will you be able to figure out the effectiveness of each program.
