In a world where communications are deployed through a variety of channels, a crucial question arises: 

What happens when a person is contacted through multiple channels? 

The answer is not simple, because if we do not have a well-defined omnichannel strategy, complications can arise. This is especially true if we work in teams where different members interact with current or future customers. When members do not have access to previous communications, the customer might repeat queries and explanations, resulting in a frustrating experience for both, whether it is a current or potential customer.

Another dilemma can arise when there is no clear and integrated tracking of interactions through the various communication channels. In this situation, the same person may be contacted repeatedly, creating an image of disorganization and lack of internal communication. These problems can undermine the company's reputation and trustworthiness, alienating both current and future customers.

The solution to this challenge lies in the implementation of an omnichannel strategy, which is a marketing approach that seeks to create consistent and valuable experiences at all points of contact with the customer, whether physical or digital. For this it is important to take into account 3 points: provide a wide variety of communication channels, unify them within the same platform and manage them efficiently with the help of digital tools. This is where Zoho tools come into play in a powerful way.

From chaos to organization: How Patricio Alonso and Patagonia Aventuras transformed their communications

I tell you a story that will sound very familiar. We all know someone like Patricio Alonso, that friend with a swarm of unanswered chats on WhatsApp, who sometimes replies with the wrong message and forgets to reply for days. 

 

Guess what? His friends are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. They don't know if Patricio is busy, disinterested or just disappeared from the planet.

The turning point came when several people expressed their dissatisfaction with his difficulty in having coherent and meaningful conversations. This feedback became a wake-up call that made him reflect on the need for substantial improvement in his communication approach. With the fear of losing valuable connections and further damaging his relationships, Patricio realized it was time for a significant change.

Now, transfer that situation to the business world. Patagonia Aventuras, a travel agency, had a similar problem. Queries were coming in from all sides, especially via WhatsApp. However, they were not always able to respond quickly or consistently. The customer experience, instead of being exciting, became a nightmare of repetition.

But what did Patricio and Patagonia Aventuras do to change the course? Boom!

 

They implemented an omnichannel strategy. Instead of losing chats and emails, they channeled all communications into a single platform. Thus, responses became fast, consistent and confusion-free. Now, they can reply to messages from multiple networks from one place, access previous information about people, view a summary of the conversation, use smart replies and much more. The result? Patricio regained friends and gained new ones, and Patagonia Aventuras strengthened its relationship with its customers and gained new ones. 

The magic behind this is none other than Zoho. Its tools unified Patricio and Patagonia Aventuras' communication channels, transforming chaos into order. And this is not just a happy tale, it is a lesson for all companies. The omnichannel strategy is not just a luxury, it is a necessity.
