AI (artificial intelligence) customer service tools weren’t designed to replace your agents. They were designed to help your agents deliver a better customer experience. Nothing can truly replace positive, meaningful exchanges between two people. But when the interactions between your customers and your agents are filled with repetitive questions, long holds, and awkward pauses, the human connection falls to the wayside.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. 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.

When I am shopping on Amazon, and a product has 3.5 stars, I don’t buy it. Now, 3.5 stars isn’t a bad rating; in fact, it’s above average.

My behavior on Amazon is part of a broader concept called Negativity Bias, and it’s a massive influence on customer behavior.
