by Rich Archbold, Senior Director of Engineering at Intercom. It’s hard to win a battle you don’t realise you’re in. It’s even harder if you don’t know all of the armies on the field, their strategies and weapons, or even who’s a friend and who’s a foe. The same is true in software. We are all in a battle, multiple battles in fact, with a lot at stake: whether it’s the fate of the company we work for or for the product that we build.

Amazon received two patents on wristbands that can track the moment-by-moment actions of their warehouse workers. Amazon has not said whether they will use the technology in their warehouses but stated if they did, they would be used to improve the process for their employees. However, anyone who has ever read George Orwell’s 1984 or suffered the scrutiny of a micro-manager will have a healthy dose of doubt that a wristband that reports back the nitty-gritty details about productivity will impr

In a relay race, the most exciting moments often come not at the finish line, but when the baton gets passed from one runner to the next. There is an exhilarating tension because, while the best runners can make it look so effortless, barely breaking stride, it is fraught with risk. Those same runners, with all of their training and talent, can sometimes still fumble the pass, drop the baton and lose the race in a moment.

It has become all too common for B2B SaaS companies to survey their customers once a year through a moment-in-time customer relationship survey, with at least one section addressing the ultimate question of Net Promoter Score (NPS).

Some people tend to go through life without making changes to their appearance. Others frequently change their look to reflect current trends or change with the seasons; women sometimes go from long hair to short, men often grow a beard. Regardless of the change, even minor improvements can have a dramatic impact. Let’s apply the same concept to the contact center.

Change management is really key to any customer experience transformation. As you well know, the transformation always focuses on the bad, on what's going wrong - in hopes of improving and making it better; otherwise, I suppose, it wouldn't be called a "transformation.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.

Customer success isn’t limited to a single department. Every single person at an organization touches the customer lifecycle , whether it’s marketing at the pre-buying stage or product in the adoption stage. While it can be easy to onboard a customer and keep them stuck in a ‘customer-only lane,’ it’s important to realize that all departments have something unique to share with customers, and because of this the customer journey must travel between departments.
