3 ways to boost productivity and customer engagement with Microsoft Copilot
In today’s fast-paced and competitive business landscape, utilities face the challenge of meeting customer expectations, regulatory obligations, and environmental goals while maintaining productivity and customer engagement. Fortunately, cutting-edge technology such as next-gen AI can provide a solution to these challenges.
A prominent example of this is Microsoft’s 365 Copilot, a revolutionary AI tool that combines large language models (LLMs) with business data and Microsoft 365 applications.
This empowers teams to concentrate on more significant tasks, leading to higher productivity and improved customer experiences.
Discover three ways in which Copilot can support utilities in enhancing productivity and customer engagement
1. Enhance customer service
Copilot can assist utilities in improving their customer support by generating helpful responses to customer inquiries. With Copilot’s remarkable ability to understand natural language and context, it can generate accurate and relevant answers to frequently asked questions, billing inquiries, service disruptions, and more. This can reduce the burden on customer support representatives and provide faster and more consistent responses to customers.
2. Win new customers
By analyzing vast amounts of data, Copilot can provide valuable insights and suggestions during sales interactions. It will offer sales representatives relevant information, sales strategies, potential upsell or cross-sell opportunities, and intelligent responses to customer inquiries, thereby improving their chances of converting leads into new customers.
3. Personalize customer experience
Copilot can assist utilities in creating personalized marketing campaigns. Instead of struggling to extract data from your CRM, your marketing team can describe their desired customer segment using simple language. Copilot uses this information to generate a targeted segment.
Additionally, Copilot can be used to generate fresh campaign content for email, social media, and other promotional materials. This can save time and provide creative ideas to effectively communicate with customers and promote new products, services, or programs.
The possibilities of next-gen AI and its application in Copilot are immense. From boosting productivity to enhancing customer engagement, Copilot has the potential to revolutionize the way utilities operate.
