For aged care providers, automated customer communication is one of the most important trends of the decade.

Customer engagement loosely relates to the emotional and mental connection between a customer and a given brand. Highly engaged customers are willing to spend more on services, promote a particular service provider, and demonstrate greater loyalty. Customer engagement, therefore, plays a crucial role in a customer’s experience with a particular business.

In an age where technology is used to improve lives, using it to engage customers effectively is essential. For aged care providers, this is even more so, given the current changes to the market. Our blog this week delves into the specifics on what aged care companies stand to gain through automated customer engagement.

Automated customer engagement improves a customer’s overall experience.

At a time where customers are more knowledgeable and rightfully demand high-quality service, customer experience is now at the forefront of every business.

According to KPMG, around 82% of survey respondents turn away from a business because of a bad experience,

85% of which reported they would warn others to stay away. In the same survey, it was demonstrated that 85% of people are willing to pay around 25% more for excellent customer service. This indicates that with the right kind of engagement and services, customers become less inclined to move providers along their journey as well as pay for extra services when needed. It is hayylo’s goal to equip community care providers with the tools to seamlessly connect and interact with their customers, these tools lead to an increase in overall customer satisfaction. Not only do they make access to additional services more convenient, they also drive higher conversion from CHSP to HCP clients.

What this means is that through efficient and secure data collection, aged care companies are privy to the specific habits and needs of individual users. In this regard, it becomes easier to identify which added services can help improve the lives of customers. With this knowledge in hand, targeted efforts to increase sales and tailored service delivery becomes effortless.
