“Forrester has done a remarkable job quantifying the acute benefits that Talkdesk delivers to our current customers as well as any company looking to improve their customer experience. In this study, Forrester found an astonishing 346% ROI and three-month payback period after a large enterprise customer made the transition to Talkdesk from another contact center platform. We’re excited to share the results of this study so that other companies can quantify the tangible value of improving their customer experience,” said Tiago Paiva, CEO, Talkdesk.
Before moving to Talkdesk, the surveyed company was using a first-generation cloud contact center application. The system was unreliable and plagued with numerous outages, leading to low NPS scores, low agent occupancy and lost revenue. After an extensive vendor search and technology review, the company selected Talkdesk to provide a reliable communications platform, which seamlessly integrated to their CRM system and provided the flexibility to quickly adapt as their customer service needs evolve.
