Brandweek BrandIndex Report, which measures how consumers feel about a given company on a week-by-week basis. Through surveying American customers, You Gov analyzes the buzz and excitement that a certain product or brand name has. Nearly 5,000 people are interviewed daily as part of the You Gov survey, and the weekly reporting gives a pretty vivid picture of what companies have the hearts of the American consumer base, and which ones need to do some major fence mending.

Simply put, customer collaboration drives customer intimacy and delivers business value,
and Cisco--the worldwide leader in Unified Communications--is leading the way.
There are four primary areas where Cisco is driving the development of customer
collaboration solutions: social media customer care, network-based multi-media capture and
recording, new agent desktop paradigms, and focused video solutions These build upon
existing Cisco customer care capabilities and innovations in speech self-service, presencebased
enterprise experts, multichannel customer care, and virtual contact center routing
and reporting.
1) Consider first the explosion of the social web. From Twitter to Facebook to YouTube,
people worldwide are engaging in an ever-increasing number of online conversations and
interactions. And part of that conversation is consumers talking about the companies that they do business with. Sometimes they are saying good things, and sometimes they are complaining. The question is: are companies listening? And can enterprises react to both
the good and the not-so-good coming from customers in social media?
Cisco believes that leading edge organizations will incorporate the ability to capture, analyze, and prioritize
customer conversations originating in the social web and then assign the most relevant
interactions into the workflow of customer care representatives. This provides order to the
often-chaotic world of social conversations, and allows businesses to respond in an
organized and measureable way.
2) While the social web is one example of real-time intelligence driving improved customer
care, a second aspect of customer collaboration comes from businesses keeping contact
center agents and supervisors up-to-date with relevant information regarding customer
interactions. This is ideally accomplished by a real-time multi-media recording and
processing solution that embeds capture functionality in the network and securely
delivers customer conversations—including voice, video, and screen data—for use with
enterprise applications such as compliance, quality management, analytics, and tagging.
Select applications can feed updates and information to customer care agents and
supervisors. Contact centers handle thousands of customer conversations a day but
unfortunately much of the enterprise intelligence from those conversations is lost.
However, with a network-based capture solution an enterprise can economically capture all
customer conversations and support analytics solutions to mine those customer
conversations to improve business intelligence, thereby increasing agent productivity and
effectiveness.
3) A third example of customer collaboration can be found in next-generation agent and
supervisor desktops that integrate traditional contact center functions with enterprise
social software and business intelligence derived from network-based recording and
analytics solutions. Such a personalized work environment uses a web-based client with all
the power and capability of traditional "thick client" applications. More importantly,
however, the new agent desktop provides a single, customizable cockpit that enables the
customer care provider to seamlessly leverage multiple assets and information sources to
assist customers.
4) The fourth customer collaboration trend Cisco is leading can be called "focused" video
for customer care, meaning that video elements are engaged in the call flow only when
they truly provide demonstrable value; this saves on bandwidth requirements and
minimizes operational costs. Thus, caller self-service sessions might best be supported with
audio-only Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems or applications on intelligent devices
which then escalate to video interactions when a customer service representative becomes
available. Cisco offers such video solutions today with Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP).

There are over 100 Million status updates posted per day between just Facebook and Twitter.
While it’s true that perhaps 99.9% are irrelevant to your company…when the numbers are this large and growing quickly it’s easy to see how the quantity of useful conversations is starting to become meaningful.

While we sometimes focus on the negative, there are also customers that are providing praise to companies products and services.
Some companies are now being proactive and responding back by thanking customers who compliment their products; and/or repeating their quotes in order to amplify the positive buzz associated with their offer.
This is a posting a public area of facebook.
Note how this customer is providing feedback not only on the product/service but also her husbands contact center experience.
The days of the “customer satisfaction survey” are numbered. Customers are now choosing when/where to give feedback. Companies need to start paying attention.
This is also an example of the amplification effect of social media. Five years ago, a bad experience would have been shared amongst the members of a single household. Perhaps this customer might have told another parent she was standing next too at her kids soccer game. ….but now with social media she just told her entire circle of friends, perhaps 100/200 people on facebook.
She also posted this in a public area of Facebook, so anybody researching this company may come across this type of post. While it’s true that much of Facebook is a private walled garden, there are plenty of public areas like “fan pages” where customer’s post public messages. Also, increasingly Facebook members are making even their status updates public.

Engaging in social media customer service is a journey, with a sensible migration path for
businesses and organizations who embark upon it. Those who begin the path reap certain
benefits, but the true rewards come from those who progress along the path, moving
steadily to the upper levels.
