Situation
Communication Challenges for Budget Blinds
→
Struggled with separate call and text systems
→
High costs for seamless integration
→
Complex system hampered customer service
Budget Blinds of Salt Lake and Davis Counties faced significant communication challenges with their existing setup. Their phone provider did not support seamless texting, and sales reps were forced to use personal cell numbers, causing inefficiencies and inconsistencies in customer interactions. Additionally, implementing a cohesive system to integrate call and text communication was costly and cumbersome, limiting their ability to modernize their approach. This setup led to difficulties in tracking customer interactions and created barriers in providing efficient customer service. The inherited phone contract was not user-friendly, requiring an expensive WebEx option for texting, which was not viable. The situation called for a better solution to unify communications and enhance customer engagement without significant investments.
