Take a step back in history to a time when consumers had limited options for utility and energy services. There was no shopping around, no comparing options, and no competition for customers. The truth is, that time wasn’t all that long ago. But in today’s market, consumers have many choices of where to get their energy and who to buy it from. Strong competition has forced energy and utility companies to adjust the ways in which they recruit and retain customers.
No longer do customers just want to engage energy and utility providers to simply report outages; it goes far beyond that. Customers want to track usage and pay bills online, engage on social media, receive information about incentives, and generally have an uncomplicated and effortless experience across all channels. But what’s the best way to realistically achieve all of this? A modern, customized customer relationship management system.
A CRM system can have a huge impact on how energy and utility providers meet the shifting and demanding needs of today’s savvy consumer.
