Simply put, customer experience (CX) is how customers perceive all of the interactions they have with a company at any given point in the buyer’s journey. Whether it’s a phone call to the contact center or something as simple as a conversation with a chatbot, every engagement impacts the relationship between a business and its customers.

You've seen the half-hearted attempts at rapport. Employees say "welcome" with the enthusiasm of gray paint. They use your name like they're working through a checklist. (They are.) It feels so transactional. Rapport is essential to customer service. But here's the kicker—it has to be authentic. Asking a customer, "How's your day going so far?" with the sincerity of a robot can hurt the rapport you're trying to build.

The 90% tech experience You may remember that I wrote about the 90% tech experience in one of my former pieces: about technology that’s really cool, but that is not (yet) good enough to create breakthrough evolutions in CX. At the end of the day, CX is a 100% human matter. With the stellar rise of breakthrough technology like big data, machine learning, voice recognition, sensors and everything AI and IoT, some of us made the mistake of thinking that CX was mostly about efficiency and reducing f

With all relationships, taking the time to listen is crucial to its success. Nowhere is this more true than with customer relationships. Without listening to the voice of your customer, you’ll be like a ship without a rudder or a compass…lost and drifting without direction. But listening isn’t always that easy. Customers don’t always take the time to express their feelings.

The on-going contact center conversion to SIP trunking technology has been an industry success story. Why? For starters, using SIP technology to enable voice and video calls, messaging, and data transmission saves money: up to 50% more, according to Gartner analysts. And SIP trunking is super-flexible; it makes it easy for contact centers to add advanced features like speech analytics, Web Call-Backs (formerly Visual IVR), and conversation scheduling from third-party vendors.

It’s about quality It may sound underwhelmingly obvious but if you squeeze the budgets of your supplier to a minimum, they will need to find ways to save money on their own production, materials, content, supply chain or transportation etc. And whatever they will try to economize, this will have an effect on your own customers too. If they cut budgets by using cheaper materials, your customers will receive a less qualitative product.
