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. And bearing the brunt of these ever-increasing customer demands are contact centers. 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.

We sometimes have an officious way of dealing with our Customers, almost as though they’re the problem that we have to deal with. As Customers ourselves, we witness this all the time, and surely as CX professionals and leaders we’re also more aware of it when we see it. It’s interesting, then, that it ever happens in the first place, considering the positions we hold and the authority we wield.

The Economist coined the term ‘The 90% Economy’ as a new normal: large chunks of everyday life are missing, customers have moved from using digital to being digital, and what they value and their power to switch have shifted overnight. With GDP slashed, The 90% Economy is a world where building brand trust, digital engagement, and building customer rapport move to center stage in order to optimize customer retention and value.

Delivering promises is one of the most important things a brand must do for its customers. Keeping commitments is much easier said than done, but customer loyalty lives and dies by companies’ ability to follow through. Succeed, and the brand generates loyalty and retention. Fail, and the organization ends up burning bridges—potentially permanently. So, how can brands avoid breaking promises?
