Greetings!
People find all kinds of ways to contact a business — email, webchat, phone
calls, and that old standby: walking through the front door. To further
understand how small and midsize businesses (SMBs) engage with customers,
we partnered with Metrigy, a leading research firm in customer experience
and digital transformation, to survey over 350 SMBs (up to 250 employees).
Among the survey respondents who did not have a
contact center solution, Metrigy found that :
- 69% said people call the company’s main telephone number
- 41% said people use only digital channels such as email,
webchat, and social media
- 35% said people come to the physical location
- 27% said people reach out to account representatives directly
- 10% said people use a self-service knowledge base
