Loop® Text & Mobile Customer Engagement by Benbria® Awarded 2015 CRM Excellence Award Presented by Customer Magazine
Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) September 15, 2015 -- Benbria, a leading provider of text and mobile customer engagement solutions, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named Loop® Text & Mobile Customer Engagement as a recipient of a 2015 CRM Excellence Award, presented by CUSTOMER magazine.
“The 16th Annual CRM Excellence Awards has recognized Benbria for driving innovation in the field of text and mobile customer engagement,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC’s CEO and Group Editor-in-Chief. “Loop enables brands to drive operational excellence by better connecting them with their customers in the moment. These real-time connections give brands the opportunity to satisfy customer requests and concerns on-the-spot which creates a deeper personal connection between employees and customers.”
Customers Prefer Texting and Chatting Over Talking
A recent HarrisPoll survey found that two out of every three guests would rather communicate with their brands via text than voice. Loop helps companies forge stronger bonds with their customers via their preferred channel of communications which results in the following benefits:
Hotels Increase Guest Satisfaction & Loyalty – Loop helps hotels to deliver a superior guest experience by giving guests the ability to use their smart device to make requests and provide feedback on any aspect of their stay. Hotels connect with guests privately and resolve issues before they reach social media. Real-time action helps hotels to reduce comps and recover at-risk guests by overcoming negative experiences and drawing out positive TripAdvisor reviews.
Retailers Improve In-store Sales Conversion – Loop helps retailers engage and communicate with in-store buyers, showroomers and non-buyers. Connecting associates with shoppers via their mobile device at the decisive moment in the shopping experience helps retailers increase traffic and convert more sales. These live omnichannel interactions uncover operational issues that hinder the shopper experience and give brands the opportunity to increase satisfaction.
Restaurants Increase Same-Store Sales – Loop helps brands operate better restaurants by motivating staff to improve quality, service and cleanliness (QSC) in real time. Brands have the opportunity to connect customers with staff and resolve their concerns before they leave the restaurant. Brands can use real-time customer input to motivate employees and improve operations before the next customer walks into the restaurant.
While Loop is operationally unique in its ability to collect, track and direct actionable customer experience data in real time to front-line staff for action and closure, it also empowers brands with detailed analytics. Real-time reports measure the employee's speed of first response and time-to-close on customer comments, as well as staff's product knowledge, service quality and friendliness – ultimately holding employees accountable to ensuring a consistent and optimal customer experience across all locations.
“Once again, we are honored to be chosen for a CRM Excellence Award by Customer Magazine.” said Andrea Baptiste, CEO, Benbria. “Studies have shown that motivated and engaged staff have a direct and positive impact on the customer experience. As an operational and real-time communications tool, Loop empowers brands to motivate staff to proactively act on customer concerns and requests which results in a superior customer experience that goes above and beyond expectations.”
Based on hard data, the CRM Excellence Awards rely on facts and statistics demonstrating the improvements that the winner’s product has made in a client’s business. Winners were chosen on the basis of their product or service’s ability to help extend and expand the customer relationship to become all encompassing, covering the entire enterprise and the entire lifetime of the customer.
