?. Andrey Khusid, founder and CEO of Miro , hasn’t done many interviews. In fact this is his first podcast appearance, so we were delighted late last year when he agreed to join us in the studio.

We are living in a world where customers have the megaphone. That’s actually been one of the most wonderful forcing functions: when finally it wasn’t about who we said we were; it’s about what employees and customers say we are.

1 in 4 Will Lose Their Job in 2020. At the end of 2019, global research firm Forrester predicted that 1 in 4 Customer Experience jobs will be cut in 2020.

By Peg Ayers. Not everyone wants brave employees in their contact center. Subservient employees are less trouble to manage. The status quo works for them. They never argue with management decisions. They keep their suggestions to themselves. In short, an unmotivated manager wants employees who don’t rock the boat. But what is the customer experience in this scenario?
Engagement is a two-way street. Are you operating that way? Your team is effective and efficient, notifying customers about the status of their order, taking calls and answering emails, and responding quickly to urgent matters. That’s to be expected, but it’s not enough. To grow your business rather than keeping it flat, you have to create a compelling, conversation-based engagement strategy with your audience.

Transcript of What is Excellence?”, from a keynote speech by Ron Kaufman for the SWIFT Operational Forum Asia event in Singapore. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~. Now, some of you are saying, “Excellence has to be Unbelievable.” The rest of you are saying, “No, no, no.
