It’s no accident that these are the people we turn to when whenever a decision needs to be made. The skill of being decisive creates respect and trust, and one of the core qualities that employers look for when hiring or promoting. It is also key component of being perceived as competent – which tells customers and colleagues that they can trust you.

Brands used to look for a vendor who could do everything. Over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, and they added, added and added. Now they need all their vendors to work well together. That’s composable, and only some will make the cut. As customers — and your board — expect you to be in new channels and to rapidly adapt to shifts in the market, the need for true composability is more crucial than ever before.

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Throughout my career in the contact center, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with quality assurance (QA). I was already two years into a role as a customer support manager when I hired someone with actual contact center experience (I had none) who informed me that I should be “doing quality.” He helped me create a basic form with a somewhat elaborate scoring system and I began scoring my team’s interactions with customers.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

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.

One of the major factors that determine the customers’ decision to choose your business for a product or service is the personal recommendations and word of mouth about your company. This means, that one bad customer experience can make you lose several business opportunities. So it is essential to know how your customers perceive the experience you provide them and how willing are they to recommend your business to others.
