Is Twitter the New Customer Call Center?

Monday, March 14
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Hilton Austin Downtown
Salon J
500 E 4th St

Phones continue to be the most popular device for customer service, but increasingly for Tweeting instead of calling. Today, more than 1 in 3 prefer social to other service channels. Customer service emergencies can happen at the blink of an eye and businesses normally learn of them only after major brand damage has occurred. Innovative companies have incorporated social into their “triage” centers by creating customer service centers that enable businesses to capture, learn, and act on social data in real-time. Join executives from General Motors, Southwest Airlines, Cummins Inc., and Oracle as they discuss social’s rising role in customer service and the customer experience.
