Manager - Customer Experience & Online Reputation
Homelane
Bangalore
07.2024 - Current
Led a team of 10 employees, fostering a collaborative environment to meet project deadlines efficiently.
Oversaw tool migration for the contact centre, along with making necessary improvements and implementing automation, resulting in call connectivity improving from 75% to 94%.
Introduced CSAT collection for inbound calls and maintained a rating of an average of 4.5 month on month.
Set targets for the calling team to increase "transfer to CSAT IVR" versus "total calls handled." and maintained an average of 50% CSAT collection on calls.
Conducted Dsat analysis of 1, 2, and 3 rated calls, provided feedback to employees where necessary, and made changes to SOPs based on those studies.
Weekly call audits were conducted—one call per agent, along with feedback on the same provided to the agents.
DSAT call listening sessions were arranged for the entire calling team to learn from each other's errors and maintain best practices.
Designed an audit form (Google Form) and formulated and automated score calculations on the response sheet of the form, including FATAL errors along with FATAL error tags. Thus ensuring customer escalated tickets also get audited by the Audit team. This was recently done by me.
Worked on data analysis showcasing how many customer touch points appear in our contact centre, caused by delays in resolution or response on L1 tickets that have been raised.
Google business listing management - Ensuring weekly and monthly data is available for management on addition/deletion of reviews, along with listing-wise sentiment analysis. Creating new listings, as well as making changes to existing ones.
Ensured the average ratings for google buisiness listings increases from 3.58 to 4.34 for 46 listings
Worked on data depicting internal resolution TAT for social media cases (how long we take to come to a solution internally for a customer's concerns) and hence brought about improvement to the overall TAT from 7 days to 4 days, maintaining an overall ticket closure TAT of 7 days from creation to issue resolution, and closing the loop with the customer.
Created social media SOP to increase the number of identified customers who are escalating on social media from 39% to 60%. All customer escalations are not identified on social channels with the internal order IDs since customers do not mention that in their VOCs, nor do they provide the same to us when asked by agents. I have designed a method to increase that identification percentage for the business, and thus resolve more social escalations than before.
Worked on social media post revocation once a resolution was provided to customers, and maintained an average of 60% post revocation.
Worked on competitor analysis for management to showcase our standing against a competitor's current social presence in terms of GMB listing.
Worked with external vendors and internal teams to increase the average reviews added month on month from 501 to 1,011.
Introduced work scheduling on a day-to-day basis, hour-wise, in order to ensure smooth coverage of multiple channels of communication for customers. e.g. social media sources, chats, outbound calls, WhatsApp communications, etc.
Improved first response time of live chat from 36 seconds to less than 15 seconds.
CSAT calling programme - Designed labels against customer VOCs for CSATs collected at various stages of a project. Ensuring that the word cloud-based dashboard is presented to management based on the labels, week on week.
Mapped the number of cancellations taking place for customers from the CSAT filled stage, and projected the amount lost from the business based on those cancellations.
NPS calling programme - recently designed the NPS calling programme to increase the fill rate of the NPS form, connect with detractors, and raise internal tickets where necessary to resolve any concerns and connect with customers who have not filled in the form to obtain their feedback and ratings.
Designed KRA metrics with weightages based on the individual scope of work done by each team member, as well as created a Google Sheet-based scorecard for each team member, fully formulated and automated to show an overall score out of 100, and a rating (e.g. Did not meet expectations, met some expectations, met expectations, and exceeded expectations.
Ensured the rewards and recognition programme was carried out for employees based on their quarterly performance, thus maintaining their accountability and enthusiasm to get work done on a better trajectory.
Performed mid-year rating and review for 10 employees, and ensured unbiased ratings and feedback were provided for all.
