Ottawa, Ontario – Dec. 5, 2012 – Benbria, the mobile customer engagement company, announced today that TMC, an integrated media company, has named Benbria a recipient of a Customer Interaction Solutions 2012 CRM Excellence Award for its BlazeLoop Customer Engagement solution.Customer Interaction Solutions has been the premier publication in the CRM, contact center and teleservices industries since 1982.
“Benbria has been granted a CRM Excellence Award for its commitment to its customers and their clients,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC. “Benbria raises the bar for the CRM community with significant advancements in both functionality and ‘connectibility’ by streamlining and facilitating the flow of information needed for companies to better connect with their customers at the point of engagement and improve retention.”
With an increasing number of consumers sharing their experiences on social media and other mobile channels, this feedback is not visible to the front-line managers who could use it to fix issues as they happen and better engage with their customers in real-time. Using a mobile device, BlazeLoop enables customers to easily provide on-the-spot feedback to businesses in a quick, convenient and conversation way.
Real-time notifications alert front-line managers of customer issues, enabling them to contact the customer straight away and privately resolve issues before customers have a chance to leave the site dissatisfied or socialize their experiences publicly via word-of-mouth and social media. By immediately acting on issues, companies can improve their daily operations by fixing points of failure in the business, win over at-risk customers and improve in-store sales conversion rates.
“Being chosen for a CRM Excellence Award is an honor for everyone at Benbria.” said Benbria CEO Andrea Baptiste. “Our mission is to help businesses better connect with their customers at the decisive moment in their experience. Our on-the-spot solution enables businesses to proactively listen and act on customer concerns before they socialize their experiences publicly. This award is further validation that we are among the leaders in our industry.”
Based on hard data, the CRM Excellence Awards rely on facts and numbers demonstrating the improvements that the winner’s product has made in a client’s business. Winners were chosen on the basis of their product or service’s ability to help extend and expand the customer relationship to become all-encompassing, covering the entire enterprise and the entire customer lifecycle.
