Abstract:
Associating callers of a contact center with their social media identity may provide mutual benefits to the caller and contact center. For example, a business operating a contact center can receive information about their current and potential customers and customers can receive additional information, incentives, or other perks by allowing access to their social media profile. When a caller initially calls a contact center, they are prompted, and possibly incentivized, to provide a social media identity. The social media identity may or may not have an affinity with an organization on the social media website. If not, the caller is provided with the opportunity to establish the affinity. If the caller does establish the affinity, the call may be identified as having a positive sentiment or negative sentiment if the caller does not do so. The call, or future calls, with the caller may then be processed accordingly.
