Contact Center Pipeline Magazine: Inside Our February 2020 Issue

FROM THE FEBRUARY 2020 ISSUE

Contact Center Pipeline Magazine, February 2020 Issue. Upgrade Your Customer Surveys.

Welcome to the February issue of Contact Center Pipeline. I’ve always thought of February as a fun month with the opportunity to show some love! The best way to show your agents some love… recognize and support them. The best way to show your customers some love… provide an amazing customer experience!

Our February issue is packed with tips and information useful in accomplishing those goals. Our feature article, Upgrade Your Customer Surveys, discusses seven practices to encourage customers to participate. Surveys have been in our toolkit forever, but with the ever-more-rapid pace of change, now is a good time to brush up on the latest.

Our February Author Wall of Fame award goes to Lori Bocklund. Lori is well deserving of our appreciation for her dedication and contributions over the years. She has been with us since day one as an author and Founding Advisor. Thank you, Lori!

I’d also like to welcome our newest contributor, Dr. William Seidman. Dr Seidman shares his observations of new technology that’s being adapted for the contact center. Really new and interesting ideas. Welcome, Dr. Seidman.

Have a great month and enjoy the issue.
