Customer Contact Centers Prioritize CX
All customer interactions matter, but ones that take place via call centers can be particularly important in determining whether a customer has a positive or negative experience with a brand. To navigate these complexities and deliver a seamless experience for customers, many businesses are looking to invest in technologies that help support customers across channels (particularly call centers) such as advanced analytics, VoC, and Omni channel routing solutions.

It’s all about the journey: Four customer experience lessons from airlines
A big challenge for the air travel industry is that, it has become a commodity product. The emergence of low cost flights, price comparison engines, tight cost margins, unpredictable fuel costs, and holiday comparison sites is forcing an industry that has traditionally innovated in customer experience to take another look at the customer journey.
Here are 4 lessons from the airline industry that we could all learn from!
- Customer experience matters more, because prices are easy to compare
- Customised experiences – you get what you pay for (mostly)
- Self-service rules (but makes front line employees more important)
- Proactive service beats reactive in a crisis.

The best marketing investment your company can make doesn’t have anything to do with marketing. It all comes down to three words: reducing customer effort!

Give this article a read for some insightful information on how reducing customer effort is a sure-fire way to keep your brand in business.
