4 Ways to Optimize Business-Critical KPIs Using Journey Orchestration The economic challenges and uncertainty facing businesses right now means decision makers are searching for smarter ways to reduce costs, increase profits, and ensure the success of the most valuable KPIs. To support these goals, CX teams must take action to understand and optimize customer journeys. Those that do will significantly improve the performance of KPIs relating to critical areas such as cost reduction, customer churn, revenue, and customer satisfaction. In this article, we explore four ways Customer Journey Analytics and Journey Orchestration technology can be utilized to help CX teams make this happen. 1 Reduce high-cost interactions Imagine this – a customer is trying to make a payment online but an error message is preventing them from completing the action. As a result, they’re forced to contact the call center. Not only is it a poor customer experience, but it also costs your business time and money. With Customer Journey Analytics and Journey Orchestration, teams have the power to identify such friction points in the moment and orchestrate real-time experiences to solve it and keep individuals moving. This reduces the number of customers needing to engage with higher-cost channels, as well as improves customer satisfaction.

Customer Journey Analytics and Journey Orchestration allows teams to pinpoint when a customer becomes disengaged and when they are most likely to churn, and then delivers an individualized experience in real-time to prevent the churn moment and keep the customer moving towards their goal. Not only does this improve conversions, but it also ensures revenue-driving activities such as recurring payments and renewals are as seamless as possible for existing customers. Additionally, improving customer loyalty drives up lifetime value, improves long-term brand reputation, and increases the likelihood of attracting new customers.
