eGain to Host Online Seminar Featuring Leading Independent Analyst Firm and CRM Publication on the 2008 State of Customer Service in North America
Webinar to focus on the performance of large North American businesses in single-channel, multichannel and multi-agent customer service across phone and online channels.
Mountain View, CA, April 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- eGain Communications Corporation (OTC BB: EGAN.OB), a leading provider of multichannel customer service and knowledge management software for in-house or on-demand deployment, today announced that it will host an online seminar featuring Chip Gliedman, VP of CRM Research at Forrester, and Bob Fernekees, Publisher at Destination CRM. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, April 23rd, from 11:00 am to noon Pacific Time and will focus on the “state of the industry” in customer service offered by leading North American businesses.
"Pressures from increased competition, smaller and narrower product categories, transparency of product and pricing information, and a general decline in customer loyalty are forcing both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) organizations to maximize every customer interaction and evaluate every aspect of the service delivery model," wrote Chip Gliedman, VP of CRM Research of Forrester, in his report "The Forrester Wave™: Customer Service Management, Q2 2007,” dated May 2007.
However, when eGain assessed the state of today’s customer service by evaluating the choice, responsiveness, quality, consistency and capabilities offered by 120 major North American businesses in this area, 60% of the companies received a “poor”1 or “below average” score in their Service Quotient™, a holistic measure of customer service competence.
The webinar will provide details of the research findings as well as best practices that companies can use to address customer service deficiencies uncovered by the study. Attendees will also receive a complete report of findings.
