Respect, decency, and courtesy are foundational measures of society. A heavy-handed approach without caring for the feelings of another is a sure way to lose a friend. And it’s even worse when done to a customer. Have you ever had a salesperson or customer service rep tell you something in a way that came across as rude or uncaring? I bet you did and didn’t realize it.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a popular term that speeds software products and other services through the design process. The concept’s essence is to release early so that potential users can participate in design through their early feedback. The more learning cycles of the development team and prospects go through together, the better the product, the better-tuned the features, and the faster the development.

In this digital era, people are used to instant access to anything, at any time, on any device. It’s no wonder that when consumers contact your business—whether it’s to make a purchase or report an issue—they expect that same instant experience.

You need a platform that not only handles voice and digital channels, but also gives your agents and supervisors the tools they need to be efficient and effective.

Many decisions that we make in life are subjective, without a “right answer.” We weigh the benefits and drawbacks and make the best choice we can based on the information we have. Giving your brain some time to sort through the data points available can increase the chances of making the best choice possible. However, when you don’t provide it with time, sometimes we emphasize the wrong information, which results in less than optimal decisions.

THIS is the Big Reason You Make Mistakes. We make a lot of subjective decisions. Without the guide of “right” and “wrong” to direct us, we weigh the pros and cons and do the best we can. However, our brains can thwart our best efforts for an optimal outcome by focusing on the wrong things. Focalism is a concept that describes how our minds can overemphasize specific points of information over others, and often the wrong ones.
