Share This Story How often do you interact with brands online? In-person? Brand interactions now happen online more often than they do in-person. Salesforce projected that in 2022, 61% of company interactions would be online, and only 39% would be in person. That number has been steadily increasing since 2020. With more people spending more time in front of their screens (whether mobile or desktop), customers need a convenient place to connect with your business.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Customer Support Outsourcing is one of the prominent factors in measuring the success of a business or company. Businesses usually outsource their customer support services to offer their customers the best quality customer service that fulfills their needs.
