If you are not actively listening, critical information is missed. In many cases, the actual words selected do very little to communicate the speaker's intended message. We must reach below the surface to capture the truth.

You wouldn’t throw your money away on the street, would you? Or drop it down the garbage disposal? If you’re not working hard to retain customers, you may as well—because you’ll be losing money. A one-time customer is a lost revenue opportunity. Instead of becoming a loyal customer who spends money and gives good word-of-mouth advertising, the one-time customer is there one moment and gone the next.

What comes to your mind when you hear the words “good customer experience”? You might think of something simple like a well-designed video that helped you understand a product better. Perhaps, you will remember a conversation with a support rep where he/she understood your problem perfectly, and helped you resolve it in no time. Or, maybe, you will recall a sweet gesture from your favorite restaurant where they offered a complimentary steak on your birthday.

No matter what kind of work you do, it’s getting harder and harder to steer clear of conversations about how artificial intelligence is poised to change everything.

In fact, customers who are emotionally engaged with a brand are more likely to be loyal and are willing to spend more.

How does your contact center handle new starter training and onboarding? In my experience, most businesses fall into three camps: Trial by fire – give agents a manual to read, then throw them on customer queries and hope for the best. Outsource to colleagues – make training another agent’s responsibility, ask the new starter to shadow them, and expect the new hire to be ready in a week or so.

Sales and marketing leaders have reached a tipping point when it comes to using intent data — and they’re not looking back. More than half of all B2B marketers are already using intent data to increase sales, and Gartner predicts this figure will grow to 70 percent.
