Social Customer Service Initiative in 2016-2017

As social servicing matures into a channel of choice, optimized responsiveness and member satisfaction is critical to USAA. Business requirements need ongoing exploration, platform management, and business process development to address member complaints through social servicing. Lithium provides the technology meeting USAA’s social customer service needs with speed and efficiency while enabling multiple enterprise servicing capabilities. In 2016, Lithium Social Media Management (SMM) was introduced to 11 major business units with 6 financial service business teams interacting with members in social channels on a daily basis. The net result is an optimized member experience in social networks with a reduction in time on task for business processes and FTE savings. 

 

Through a joint effort with business partners, calculated planning, and resource training, USAA implemented numerous enterprise social servicing capabilities that promote excellence in member service. The business strategies, new processes and capabilities improved key performance indicators while providing a better member experience in USAA owned and managed social properties.

 

Social servicing capabilities include:

  • Implemented enterprise platform (SMM) across multiple business units (Feb ’16 - March ‘16)
  • Completed enterprise training, 104 users in 2 days expanding social customer care (March ‘16)
  • Established enterprise social customer care SLA of less than 30 minutes with reduction of social acknowledgement time by 20% (June ‘16)
  • Created custom profile integration for complaints enabling a reduction of social customer care internal documentation from 24 hours to 1 hour; 95% time on task savings (July ‘16)
  • Implemented Social Early Warning System aligned to key business indicators (July ‘16) (Process Patent)
  • Implemented Social Handle Member Match capability for CRM profile identification (Sept ‘16)
  • Enhanced social servicing community process, 90% efficiency gain in member community (Sept ‘16)
  • Released Lithium mobile enabling management real-time assistance and review (Nov ‘16)
  • Completed enterprise and business level analytics

Approach to Customer Satisfaction

USAA consistently focuses on providing an optimized member experience while removing any touch points that could impart negative sentiment from our members. In doing so, we focus on building state of the art infrastructure and capabilities that bring together all member data and public or private touch points.

 

With the integration of Lithium SMM, USAA can pull data from Lithium technology and create multiple capabilities that provide a full member 360 point of view from all contact channels as well as integration into the USAA’s CRM. With the connection of data, USAA now has the capability for a full cross-channel strategy, allowing us to build and execute beautiful, seamless experiences for the member. Some of the infrastructure and capabilities in more detail are:

  • Member Match
    • Optimized member verification process in less steps
    • Connection point from within SMM to USAA CRM Opt-in and Harvested social data
    • 2 FTE savings
  • Full CRM integration of social data
    • Allows social data to be stored and documented for all USAA MSRs to see
    • Completes 360 view of the member from all support channels
    • Automation of social analytics
