Still a Critical Touchpoint: The Phones
Your brand is the most crucial part of any company, it incorporates everything that makes you recognizable and differentiated. Brand and customer experience are intimately linked. A good experience builds brand value and your brand sets the expectations that your customers have for the experiences they anticipate. Oftentimes, brand building and customer experience efforts are not well aligned on one of the initial and most critical touchpoints, the phones. In this session, Brian will share thought leadership on why the caller experience is more important than ever to a manufacturer and outcomes that outstanding experiences have on brand building.
