Leveraging Missed Call Services to generate qualified leads in the BFSI Sector

Before diving into this topic we should know what the BFSI sector is? BFSI stands for Banking, Financial Services and Insurance. Banks like Axis, ICICI, and Bank of Baroda; Finance companies like Aditya Birla Capital, Bajaj Capitals and Insurance companies like LIC, Reliance life, etc. are included in this Sector.

Problems of BFSI Sector:

In today’s era, everything is technology driven no one likes to go to the bank anymore. Customers need the services on their fingertips and the key to customer retention is great customer service.

One of the major issues the BFSI sector faces currently is giving its customers access to the problem solvers. How many times have you complained that you cannot connect to Customer Service Representative of your bank on the call? How long have to been kept on hold before talking to the CSR usually these calls run upto hours!

This makes the entire experience bitter for the customer turning them away from your brand, they would not happily advocate your services to others. Customers don’t call even if they have a problem with your service because they don’t get connected with the expert for their problems.

Most banks have customers across India thus makes it difficult for them to reach everyone with solution to the problem raised. Sending instant revert to the customer’s query makes an impact to the customer it saves their time and makes the whole experience easy and pleasant. These customers are your brand ambassadors.

Important messages like OTPs, cash withdrawal, cash deposit, etc. should reach the customers instantly.

Failed Attempts:

As financial institutions struggle to solve these problems their Customer Service costs get higher, they are dependent on third-party call centers. Another major struggle is when they launch new services for their customers, how to get the message across to them? The print and social media ads have limited visibility. How to deliver the message directly to their target audiences?

Solution:

A Happy customer is the company’s best salesman. They always talk about the services they got to their acquaintances indirectly marketing your service and converting them into your customers.

The 2013 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study credits increase in customer satisfaction as they focused more in communication efforts from the big banks. Banks are expanding in innovation investments to increase customer satisfaction and also to generate qualified leads.
