But with a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customercontactweekdigital.com\/customer-experience\/whitepapers\/2022-june-market-study-cx-trends-challenges-opportunities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Customer Contact Week report<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0revealing that one-third of customers believe customer service has actually deteriorated over the past year, and a further 33% believe their experiences aren\u2019t being personalised, there\u2019s a call for global CX strategies to be reimagined.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"2\"><strong>Compassion in customer service\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We all want to feel respected by others\u2014especially when you\u2019re reaching out to an organisation about a product or service you have invested in or are considering doing so. And with the cost-of-living crisis weighing heavy on the UK and elsewhere, talks of a recession on the horizon applying further financial pressure, your customers want and need to feel as though their investments are worth it.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The circumstances your customers find themselves in are personal, and therefore warrant a personalised service that empathises with their own stressors\u2014and aims to relieve these as much as possible.

By analysing key words and phrases associated with sensitive subjects, such as death, job loss, and debt, real-time data can inform businesses on what measures need to be implemented for better service for vulnerable customers.
