As the world adjusts to a new normal, utilities continue to deal with the impact of COVID-19. These unprecedented times provide utilities a unique opportunity to build stronger relationships with customers.

Proactive communications can ease the stress for both utilities and customers while increasing customer satisfaction and cost-effectiveness. Utilities can help customers understand their rate and payment options, direct them to assistance programs and educate them on low-cost ways to save.

This presentation will cover proven strategies utilities are using and how they are reaping the rewards of having a digital communication plan in place in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

Our agenda includes: 

  • Current State of Affairs
  • Preferred Communications Channels
