How does Granby support brands with brand guardianship?
Trained Advisors as Brand Ambassadors
Granby has extensive experience working with some of the largest and most successful brands in the world. With this in mind, it’s vital that our teams are highly trained and gain a thorough technical understanding of each brand we work with.
This deeper insight, combined with our in-house training facilities, means that we can continue to progress in line with your brand’s needs.
Our specialist training includes the following, many of which are delivered through the Granby Academy or through trusted external training facilities.
- Client-specific training
- Emotional intelligence training
- Training for supporting vulnerable customers
- Root cause resolution analysis
- Comprehensive coaching and mentoring programmes
Having this extensive training in place enables our customer service teams to handle inbound queries with confidence and empathy, elevating your brand at every opportunity.
Granby has partnered with many brands for customer support, including a globally recognised coffee brand, multiple transport companies, retail businesses, financial service providers and public sector organisations. We have supported these brands with a combination of email communications and voice calls, helping with troubleshooting enquiries and ensuring a seamless experience for their customers. We also supported the coffee brand with promotional marketing through SwiftReceipt.
Knauf has been a long-standing client of ours. Over the years, we have provided dedicated customer service support tailored to their complex product range. Our team works closely with the internal team at Knauf, allowing us to be a true extension of their brand. We provide customers with technical support, troubleshooting, and product recommendations while ensuring high standards and compliance with all regulations.
Multi-Channel Support with a Personal Touch
Customers need convenience, and that’s exactly what we provide at Granby. We support multi-channel customer service, giving your customers the opportunity to get in touch in a way that works for them. Our multi-channel approach covers phone, SMS, email and webchat.
By utilising a range of contact methods, we increase accessibility for your customers and improve the responsiveness of our teams.
We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to customer service, which is why we tailor our offering for every client. Our specialist advisers tailor their tone and approach to match your brand voice across every channel.
Promotional Helplines as Brand Amplifiers
Granby creates dedicated helplines for client campaigns, enabling you to increase exposure and maximise your brand’s reputation among communities.
Granby supports brands with multi-channel customer support, covering emails, phone and web chat. By partnering with Granby, you can ensure that your customers get the support they need in a timely and professional manner. Our support is always carefully aligned with your brand guidelines to ensure consistency across all channels and touch points.
By having dedicated helplines, we can easily resolve queries and help you build brand awareness, leading to more meaningful and deeper connections with your customers. Customers value convenience and are much more likely to work with brands that support them effectively.
Supporting Vulnerable Customers with Dignity
We understand the importance of listening to the unique needs of your customers, which is why we place a lot of emphasis on how our team supports vulnerable customers. We provide inclusive services, and our advisors are trained to support customers with disabilities or cognitive conditions in a professional way.
We are proud of our commitment to ensuring ethical and inclusive fulfilment throughout our business operations. We empower our teams to remain agile and resilient while always considering human emotions.
Overflow Solutions That Feel Seamless
Seasonal demand peaks can be challenging for many brands to handle, but with the correct third-party support in place from Granby, you won’t even notice a difference. We integrate seamlessly with our clients during peak periods, enabling your brand to continue thriving.
When dealing with heightened demand, it’s common for standards to begin slipping. The Granby service is different. We always ensure a consistent brand experience, even during demand peaks. You can always count on us for seamless scale-up support.
Data-Driven Loyalty & Brand Building
Granby recognises the value of transparency and accountability. Every client we work with has access to their own bespoke dashboard, which provides accurate performance data. The data is categorised carefully, enabling clients to see if any further actions are required. We encourage clients to utilise this data to refine service delivery and ensure excellent service for customers.
Brands can monitor their performance scores alongside their KPIs. We also encourage your customers to provide feedback scores based on their personal experiences of your customer service. This CSAT can be used to ensure that your customers have access to all of the information they need. It ensures that we are having a positive impact as an extension of your teams and allows for continuous improvement.
What is The Impact of Brand Guardianship?
Positive brand guardianship has many benefits for brands, including increased customer loyalty, reduced churn and a more positive brand reputation. By thoroughly understanding each client’s needs and ensuring that our teams represent brands in a professional way, we can help you gain a competitive advantage in your industry and maximise client retention. Brand guardianship plays a vital role in your marketing and business efforts.
