Create A Truly Effortless Service Experience by enabling IIoT in Salesforce

The impact of the IIoT on customer service or field service experiences has introduced opportunities for boosting customer loyalty to previously unmined levels and has opened up new prospects for revenue creation. Yet, the challenge remains on how to translate IIoT benefits into an Effortless Experience.

The principles of the Effortless Experience, based on the book by Matt Dixon, put a new spin on customer experience and reveals what makes customers loyal or disloyal.

"Loyalty is driven by how well a company delivers on its basic promises and solves day-to-day problems, not on how spectacular its service experience might be. Most customers don't want to be "wowed"; they want an effortless experience. And they are far more likely to punish you for bad service than to reward you for good service."

IIoT benefits, visible across all industries, take different forms for different applications. For example, industrial production facilities increase maintenance efficiency and labor safety, streamlining production and operational resilience.

However, IIoT is not just about technology but instead about developing solutions that can drive meaningful results for your businesses. The importance of Field service organizations continues to rise for operations today. The service experiences that your technicians deliver will have a lasting impact on your customers' overall impression of your brand and impact satisfaction, retention, and future sales positively or negatively. As your customers' expectations continue to rise as to what is considered good service, they expect effortless service.

It is time to reimagine how your organization provides service - Usher out the complexities of the past towards a future of effortless experiences.
