Business-Changing Technology: 5 Customer Success Stories

Any business operation can expect to have a variety of customers − regardless of industry, no matter how big or small, no two customers are alike. The way to achieve customer success is dependent on how you consistently apply your communication and understanding throughout the customer journey: from reeling customers in with an effective content marketing strategy, to fully supporting them with robust post-purchase support. 

Automation is an essential tool that companies are now relying on to quickly improve customer service, process management, troubleshooting, and other key business functions. In the last few years, many companies have made strides in improving customer success, with the help of powerful automation tools and other technologies. We’re taking a look at just a few of their stories.

How Evernote Helps Craftsman And Wolves

Zingtree & Getty Images

Getty Images is known for producing content seen the world over: powerful photos, illustrations, video clips, and more that tell visual stories for businesses, media outlets, and websites worldwide.‍

Zingtree is a no-code, interactive decision tree tool that helps you create agent scripts, guide customers, and manage internal processes. By turning workflows into a choose-your-own-adventure-type experience, Zingtree can help users reach the next best action and make the complex simple. 

How Zingtree Helps Getty Images

With over 350,000 photographers and videographers producing content for Getty Images on a daily basis, Getty Images was on the receiving end of roughly 50k support tickets a year. Many of these were repetitive in nature, such as how to update one’s account, or when to expect payment. 

Getty Images chose Zingtree for its no-code solution that meant no technical expertise was needed to get building. Using Zingtree’s Customer Self-Help solution, Getty Images was able to build interactive decision trees that help photographers and videographers answer their own questions. The result? Support tickets were reduced from 50k a year to just 20k − a 60% reduction, and so was the reliance on the relevant support team, who were able to reduce their headcount from ten to four.

Freshbooks & Milieu Interior Design

Freshbooks is an accounting software designed for small businesses that makes expenses, invoicing, and time tracking simple and secure.

Sarah is an Architectural and Interior Designer who runs her own sole proprietorship, Milieu Interior Design. She needed more flexibility and control due to family commitments. 

How Freshbooks Helps Milieu Interior Design

Before Freshbooks, Sarah of Milieu Interior Design used separate spreadsheets for all business activity – which became far too complicated to manage by herself. Freshbooks now saves Sarah significant time due to its simple capabilities, compared to inputting separate data under various spreadsheets. Now, she can also use the same platform to record hours and invoices together, saving time that can be better spent with her clients and potential customers.
