In an increasingly remote world, a new commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting shows that visual engagement technology can solve top customer experience (CX) priorities. These tools will allow agents to create a more personal and secure customer experience at any distance. But not just any tools will do.

What does a great CX look like?

Your customer experience (CX) can make or break your business. These days, your customers, and even your employees, are comparing their experiences with your company to the best experiences they’ve had with any other brand, regardless of industry. To deliver on these high expectations, Forrester's survey for the study finds that CX professionals are prioritizing creating experiences that build trust and reduce customer effort.

Visual engagement technology boosts agent conversations.

To help deliver these experiences in agent-assisted interactions, companies are looking to visual engagement technology. Specifically, co-browsing that lets the agent see what the customer sees online as they offer guidance through various digital experiences, and camera-sharing that gives the agent a live video feed of the customer’s physical space to help solve issues with equipment or products.

Both of these technologies give agents a real-time lens into what the customer is experiencing, something popular engagement channels like phone and chat cannot do on their own. CX professionals are banking on visual engagement to augment these agent-assisted interactions.

But only the best will do.

Adopting the right visual engagement technology is critical for brands focused on increasing customer trust and decreasing customer effort as their top CX goals. Take it from survey respondents who already use subpar visual engagement tools:

If your tools have these drawbacks, creating trusting and effortless experiences will be a difficult, if not impossible task.
