How to analyze sentiment of Salesforce Service Cloud Support Call Transcripts with generative AI
As a customer support team, it's essential to understand your customers' feelings and opinions about your products and services. Sentiment analysis enables you to extract this valuable information from your support call transcripts. In this post, we'll show you how to use generative AI to automatically perform sentiment analysis on Salesforce Service Cloud support call transcripts.
What is Sentiment Analysis?
Sentiment analysis is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that uses machine learning algorithms to automatically identify and extract the emotions or opinions expressed in a given piece of text. The algorithms are trained on a labeled dataset of text samples, where each sample is labeled with its corresponding sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral). The model learns to recognize patterns and features in the text that are associated with different emotions and uses these patterns to predict the sentiment of new, unseen text.
Sentiment analysis has many applications, such as customer feedback analysis, social media monitoring, and market research. It's a powerful tool for organizations that want to understand how people feel about their products or services or to track public opinion on different issues. It can help automate tasks and extract valuable insights from large amounts of text data.
Example Use Cases
Some use cases for performing sentiment analysis on Salesforce Service Cloud support call transcripts include:
- Automatically detect and classify agent sentiment and tone
- Automatically detect and classify customer sentiment
- Quickly identify opportunities for coaching and feedback for agents
- Assess root causes of poor customer experience and low CSAT scores
- Improve customer satisfaction and experience
Teams that might find these use cases helpful include customer support, customer success, product, marketing, and operations.
Accessing Your Data and Confirming Your Sentiment Scale
To analyze the sentiment of your Salesforce Service Cloud support call transcripts, you need to extract the data from your Salesforce Service Cloud account. You can export the transcripts in CSV format or query a list of transcripts using the Salesforce API or Salesforce's reporting tool. Then, you need to confirm the sentiment scale you will use for assessing customer sentiment. Typically, sentiment is measured on a scale of -1 (most negative) to 1 (most positive). You also may assign sentiment ratings. Here is an example of a sentiment rating scale:
- Very Positive
- Positive
- Neutral
- Negative
- Very Negative
Once you have your data and sentiment scale, you can use generative AI to automatically assess the sentiment of your Salesforce Service Cloud support call transcripts. This will help you improve the quality and consistency of your customer support, reduce churn, and improve the efficiency of your support team.
