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)?

It is tempting to enact severe actions during an economic downturn to save costs. Before you start slashing budgets across the entirety of a business, consider the following. 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.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Whether you’re selling a product, a service, a course, or looking to have users sign up for a subscription, a website always has a key purpose. As a skilled developer or CX manager, your goal should be to create a website that guides users or potential buyers to achieve that purpose. However, issues like a long page-loading time, inconsistent information, cluttered interface, etc., can drive users away even before they consider making a transaction.
