The Face of Success
See how these brands have upgraded their social customer service:
T-Mobile
T-Mobile leverages Lithium Social Media Management to support its social team’s customer service efforts. Initial results are impressive with T-Mobile’s social team responding an average of 16,500 times per day to customers, and achieving an average response time of three minutes 23 seconds (industry average is 1 hour 24 minutes).
Rogers
Rogers, a Lithium customer, worked with Facebook to become the first telecommunications provider in the world to offer customer support through Facebook Messenger. Their goal was to deliver a better experience for customers and saw a 72 percent increase in customer satisfaction in social media following the launch.
Sky
Sky customers who use the Sky forum had an average of 1 min. 48 sec. shorter duration over 19k calls—that equates to over 570 hours. Contributions from the Sky superusers and members play a vital role in delivering great service cross-channel. With Lithium’s help, Sky is constantly looking to deliver on their customer promise to ‘Believe in Better’.
