Without customers, a business doesn’t mean much. Therefore, customer voice and experience need to be front and center in every organization. It’s imperative to have customer experience as a clearly articulated goal across the business and to solicit customer insights that are shared organization-wide to meet that goal. When customer experience is approached as a shared service, both companies and consumers benefit exponentially and you ensure longevity in the market.

While some data says yes, other research says no. .

Have you ever heard the saying “the devil I know vs. the devil I don’t” as it relates to making a change to something new? I hear that saying all the time when talking with people about why they are stuck on an outdated call center software platform. I’m not sure why “the devil” gets all the credit, but basically it means I know what I get with the existing software provider (warts and all), but I don’t know what new issues I would have to deal with by switching to something new.

Simply put, B2B support is significantly different than B2C support. A stand-alone customer support group can’t handle 100% of the issues they receive in the B2B industry. These issues are usually more complex, involving several internal stakeholders and requiring a larger, more advanced and specialized team to address them.

The fact that time is a completely made-up component in nature was one of the hardest concepts to get your head around in high school physics class. All of nature knows night from day, but your dog is clueless about what 9:30 means. When we tell someone, “Why don’t we meet in an hour,” we are not only operating on a “made up” agreement regarding the precise moment of rendezvous, we are relying on a made up understanding of what “an hour” means.
