As Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach, large multinational companies gear up for the busiest and most crucial days of the year. This period can make or break customer loyalty as customers look for smooth, efficient, and reliable service when placing orders or seeking support. However, the massive surge in demand often pushes telecom systems to their limits, exposing vulnerabilities that can lead to lost sales and unhappy customers.
Here, we’ll explore the specific challenges multinationals face during Black Friday and Cyber Monday and how Klearcom’s proactive approach to testing and monitoring ensures that businesses are fully prepared to handle peak periods.
Critical Black Friday & Cyber Monday Challenges for Multinationals
Managing High Call Volumes and Avoiding System Overload
On Black Friday and Cyber Monday, call centers experience unprecedented spikes in customer inquiries, leading to high call volumes and increased pressure on IVR systems. Without preparation, IVR systems can become overloaded, resulting in long wait times, dropped calls, and frustrated customers. These issues can damage customer relationships and brand reputation when customer expectations are highest.
Ensuring Consistent Customer Experiences Globally
Multinationals operate across multiple countries, each with unique telecom infrastructure and call-routing requirements. Differences in infrastructure can lead to inconsistent customer experiences, with some regions experiencing high-quality interactions while others face issues like call drops, latency, or poor voice quality. Ensuring a seamless experience for customers worldwide during peak periods is challenging but crucial.
Preventing Costly Downtime and Call Failures
Downtime and call failures can be disastrous during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, leading to lost revenue and decreased customer satisfaction. The financial impact of a few minutes of downtime can be significant, especially when large numbers of customers are trying to make purchases or access support.
Supporting Multilingual and AI-Driven Voicebots
To manage large call volumes, many companies use AI-driven voicebots to handle basic inquiries and orders. However, voicebots need to be able to understand and respond accurately across various languages and accents, especially during peak periods. Failure to do so can lead to customer frustration and an increased need for live support, further straining resources.
Maintaining Compliance with Industry Regulations
High volumes of calls mean high volumes of data, and large multinationals must comply with data protection and call-recording regulations in each region. Failing to meet regulatory requirements can result in significant fines and legal issues.
Optimizing IVR Routing and Reducing Customer Frustration
IVR routing issues can be especially problematic during busy periods, with customers potentially being routed to the wrong departments or experiencing extended wait times. A poorly optimized IVR system can lead to negative experiences, causing customers to abandon calls or miss out on Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals.
Avoiding Latency Issues
Increased network traffic during Black Friday and Cyber Monday can lead to latency, where delays in voice communication impact customer service quality. This can result in poor communication, dropped calls, and overall dissatisfaction.
