In a customer-centered economy, where a lot of revenue growth occurs within the established customer base, churn is a big problem. Customers grow more valuable over time, so you must keep them happy and interested in renewing.

Executives from either side of the relationship are rarely involved in onboarding or implementation conversations unless there is a very good reason. That being said, sometimes executive involvement is necessary to move projects forward or overcome roadblocks throughout the customer journey. .

However, since a full contact center rip-and-replace is not only time consuming, but expensive, many customer support organizations are still using more traditional contact center platforms.
