WEBINAR
Communication Tips to Earn Customer Confidence
In this 30 – minute webinar, you will learn how improving communications techniques has had a positive impact on customer satisfaction at Wisconsin Public Service.
For targeting customers and key constituents with custom messages, ARCOS automatically uploads contact lists in CVS, DAT or TXT formats from other utility software systems and converts data into customizable spreadsheets. Once uploaded, you can easily send messages to specific groups of customers or other parties about outages or emergencies.
In the case of an electric utility experiencing an outage on a specific circuit, or a gas utility with a gas leak, SIREN Mass Calling can deliver a text, email or audio message to customers in the areas affected. It also allows for easy updates to customers and authorities about the progress of work.
