What to expect:
Hear from GM Financial’s CXO, Bob Beatty on how his team expedited their conversational strategy — shifting 60% of customer contact to messaging and automation to manage 5x contact volume.
GM Financial exceeds ambitious goals in their shift toward conversational: a year of transformation in less than half the time
In January 2020, GM Financial had an aggressive goal in place: By the end of the year, their customer contacts handled by messaging would go from 10% to 50%. Now, GM Financial is among the brands that has seen a year’s worth of evolution take place in a matter of weeks — as of this May, they have already blown past their goal with 60% of contacts coming through messaging. As they look ahead to the rest of this year, GM Financial has their sights set on automation, aiming to automate 50% of these interactions. Bob will walk us through:
- How the investments made in messaging and IVR deflection at the beginning of the year served them in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic
- GM Financial’s strategy handling a 5-fold increase in customer contact volumes by retraining staff and leaning on messaging and AI
- A refreshed customer experience roadmap as GM Financial embraces the new normal

This is the second installment of a new series where we explore the future of the contact center and customer care. Our take? For the traditional contact center — with hundreds of people sitting side by side, taking calls to service one customer at a time — there simply is no future. The contact center as we know it today is over. Come together with your peers to discuss how conversational AI and messaging are shaping what's next.
