Early in my career, I standardized and deployed a QA program across multiple contact center locations for a large global company. Our initial process was painfully manual.

Top Takeaways: Customers are smarter than ever before. They are judging your business based on the best experiences they’ve had from any industry, and it doesn’t matter if it’s B2B or B2C.
