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.

Exactly what is digital experience management (DXM)? We’re all familiar with the term ‘customer experience’, and the critical role it plays in a brand’s success. In the same way, experience management is a looming factor in today’s business processes, although the two tend to be confused with each other – but they’re not the same. While customer experience refers to the experience you deliver, experience management tells you how effective those experiences can be for your business.

Call center managers often find themselves pulled in two directions – they have to boost productivity while simultaneously keeping overhead costs down. If productivity does happen to be lagging, it falls on their shoulders to find creative ways to get things back on the right track.
