Big shifts are underway
Impressive U.S. data suggests big impact on customer experience
E-commerce is growing:
U.S. e-commerce sales totalled $225.5 billion (171.8 billion EUR) in 2012 – up almost 16% from 2011 (U.S. Commerce Department)
Everything is for sale:
What are people buying online? A look at Amazon.com sales (U.S.):

Big shifts are underway
Generation Y is a game-changing force:
Generation Y will be nearly half (50%) of all U.S. workers by 2020
Consumers are mobile:
By 2015, more U.S. consumers will access the Internet through mobile devices than PCs (IDC)
Social media is expected:
Within 5 years, social media interactions at call centers will be equal to the number of voice interactions (DMG Consulting)
Brands realize the value of culture to attract & serve customers
Companies see the effect of behavior on performance – example: Zappos Culture Book – captures what culture means to employees

The next big customer wave
Generation Y matters to business:
Trend 1: Generation Y
1
Generation Y world population (ages 12-32) is just over 2.4 billion people
Generation Y will be nearly 50% of all US workers by 2020
Generation Y spending is almost $200 billion (153 billion EUR) / year
By 2017, Generation Y will have more spending power than any other generation
A lot of people heading towards their peak earning years, controlling &
influencing spending

Adopting the Generation Y mindset
How do you communicate with a group that texts like this?
Trend 1: Generation Y
“Omg jk!! LOL u kno ily. Nyway watchu doen 2nite? I g2g 2 din wit da rents but bbl. U hangen out?”
And acts like that? Requiring fun & social in everything they do?
Translation: “Oh my gosh I’m just kidding! Laughing out loud. You know I love you. Anyway, what are you doing tonight? I have to go to dinner with my parents but I’ll be back later. Are you hanging out?”

Gen Y
Trend 1: Generation Y

Chat & social media – be accessible2 Contact channels keep growing especially with rise of social media & chat
But…virtually ALL interaction channels are growing (voice, email, chat, social) with customers creating more interactions than ever before
12% rise in web self-service, 24% rise in chat usage, 25% increase in community (social forum) usage in the past 3 years (Forrester)
Trend 2: Chat & social media
Serve customers where they are, when they want, in a consistent
manner

11
Chat still offers a lot of opportunity
Chat market adoption is increasing but still not universal among big brands
Trend 2: Chat & social media
We see best results when: Chat training emphasizes soft skills Chat metrics foster the right agent behavior Chat is easy for the customer
![Page 12: Shaping the Next Generation of Customer Experience - Insights and Trends](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042700/5564bc44d8b42a7e178b4d78/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Social media is expected
Best practices for social care are emerging but strategies differ among high-tech leaders
Examples: HP’s use of social channels for customer-
to-customer support with little direct
intervention Best Buy’s extensive use of employees
empowered to provide proactive social care
via Twitter Google’s use of “how to” videos, taking
advantage of rich media capabilities to
provide customer support Apple’s use of company-owned branded
support communities
Trend 2: Chat & social media
