(firmenpresse) - LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 03/26/12 -- , immediate future, today launches a guide to help the customer service industry assess the business case for social customer service. The exclusive guide helps determine the investment required and the benefits that can be expected.
It also tackles the practical challenges and costs involved in deploying social media as a customer service channel.
Making the proof case is notoriously difficult as Adam Lewis, Managing Consultant at immediate future explains: "There's often a fear that social will open up Pandora's Box for customer service teams -- an unquantifiable wave of hard-to-handle customer interactions."
