In today’s competitive business landscape, delivering exceptional customer experiences is paramount especially in the B2B segment.

Due to the nature of the B2B segment, CSM is particularly focused and emphasized upon to maintain good relations with the respective clients. One of the most effective and popular modules of Service Now is their CSM module.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how ServiceNow’s innovative approach to customer workflows can help organizations enhance customer experiences and drive business success.
What are Customer Service Management or CSM Workflows
Customer workflows in ServiceNow are a series of steps dedicated to a particular process with a specific end goal that the customer wants to achieve. These workflows are usually related to customer interactions, such as inquiries, requests, and issue resolution. These workflows are built using ServiceNow’s powerful workflow engine, which allows organizations to define, customize, and automate processes based on their unique requirements and use-cases observed or received from customers.
ServiceNow CSM Workflows in Businesses
