We take a look at how you can optimize customer experiences with Salesforce Service Cloud, and that how you can bring them delight as a pinnacle of customer satisfaction.

Service Cloud is a customer service and support application. Irrespective of how your customers reach your service team (email, phone, social media, online community or real-time web chat), the cloud helps you keep your customers happy and employees engaged. The channels mentioned above allow your customer to reach out to your service and support team through their preferred communication tool. In order to achieve this omni-channel functionality in an effective manner, it becomes important that your service team is comfortable working with multiple channels on a simultaneous basis. Also, service cloud integrates all these channels in to an easy-to-use help desk called the console that can be customized according to your organization’s specific service and support processes.

For both your customers as well as support agents, it makes sense to expedite your service processes with the click of a few buttons, so you can opt when customers get responses, when service requests ought to escalate and when support agents need to be attached to particular customers or tasks. Service Cloud also allows you to build a knowledge base of best service and support practices, so that customers can even solve their own problems themselves. Moving ahead, case management is a primary feature of service cloud that lets you track and prioritize customer issues, complaints, problems, comments and questions and resolve them quickly. Doing so helps you build customer loyalty, referral, recommendation and repeat purchase and minimize the risk of losing your customers or tarnishing your brand. Both your product and the associated service and support need to be top-notch in order for you to ensure the same.

Cases are multi-reference records in Salesforce that not just track your progress of resolution of customer issues, but also exhibit a panoramic view of the customer and the service team working for them. This unified set of data and information comprises of fields such as account, contact, history, product, calls made and so on. Effectively, any service agent of yours can jump in at any time to help your customer. You can customise these cases to fit your business specifics. You can add unique case fields, modify page layouts to alter how cases look and also define case record types to define nature of information required to be entered in a particular service process. Cases offer amazing collaboration capabilities; they are not just related to customer accounts and contacts, but can also be customized according to your organization’s specific case resolution policies and standards.

Next, there are case teams in service cloud. They are pre-defined groups of people who would work together in their respective roles to solve and close a case. Examples of such roles are support agent, product manager, service lead, quality analyst and so on. Service Cloud has features to trigger actions and workflows in an automated manner, and assigns cases to the right people without overwhelming any particular support agent. Thus, case management and service cloud take care of the administrative tasks while you focus on delivering superior service to your customer. Detailed tasks to make your Salesforce Service Cloud functional include automating your case management system, creating and integrating multiple communication and service channels for customers and configuring a Salesforce service console.
