More than 7 in 10 firms to prioritise ‘customer experience' more in 2021

More than half of businesses will invest in CX software more this year.

Customer experience has been more crucial than ever to business success, according to more than seven in 10 local Singapore firms as they prioritise it now more than they did last year.

The recently released Customer Experience (CX) trends Report 2021 of customer service software firm Zendesk has revealed that “the most successful companies are adopting new technology at record speed.” In APAC, more than half (53%) of organisations cited plans to invest in CX software more this year.

In Singapore, the average rate of weekly support requests surged by 22% since the beginning of th COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, almost half of customers (49%) in Singapore mentioned that experience has been “more important” to them now than it did a year ago.

Findings from the study also have indicated that “83% of Singaporeans will take their business elsewhere following bad experiences” and “81% of Singaporeans are willing to spend more with a company that offers a good customer experience”, the highest rate amongst the Asia Pacific region.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
