Imagine your agents providing stellar customer service to only 75% of your customer base. Yikes! Every contact center manager works hard to ensure agents provide excellent service, and yet, this will be your reality if you don’t create an accessible contact center. That’s right—25 per cent of Americans are people with disabilities. That’s why all call centers should be prioritizing accessibility and creating a plan to ensure all customers can access your services, and that all agents have the to

Putting the customer first, in simple terms, means valuing the needs and expectations of your customer ahead of anything and everything else. But putting the customer first isn’t a strategy – it’s a culture! Organisations that put the customer first are commonly referred to as being customer-centric. They’re oriented towards serving their customers’ needs and customer satisfaction as a measure of their success as a business.

Rome wasn’t built in a day – and it didn’t fall in one either. Come the 4th and 5th centuries, the leaders neglected the needs of their various peoples, and oftentimes, as in the case of Majorian , they seemed outright surprised at the unpopularity of some measures. Could Majorian have used a 360-degree view of his Roman subjects (read: customers)? Could the collapse of the Roman Empire ( the Western one ) have been prevented if the imperial bureaucracy was able to track their health and success

Evaluate ROI, not just costs. When scrutinizing budgets with an eye to savings, look beyond the cost and ask what value each item contributes to the company. In the case of CX programs such as support and moderation, it’s tempting to view these as mere operational costs — easy candidates for reduction.
