As a Call Center Manager turned consultant, I'm frustrated to see Customer Care teams using outdated processes and technology. New solutions that have become available in the last 4-8 years can truly revolutionize how we care for customers.
So here I offer up an open letter to many of the Customer Care Managers that I have met over the years in hopes that it may inspire a few to consider the new options available to them.
Customer Service teams are scrambling to work with IT to implement omni-channel communication strategies. But the challenge is bigger than just technology - it requires a rethinking of the entire customer care role in delivering a state-of-the-art customer experience.
Factoid: The average US worker spends 19% of their time searching for the knowledge that they need to get their jobs done (Harvard Business Review, “Social Media’s Productivity Payoff,” August 2012).

Financial details of the deal were undisclosed, so we can only speculate. Here are a few quick thoughts for discussion:
On May 29, 2014, Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft) and Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce.com) announced a global strategic partnership between the two firms.
As one of the very few organizations certified on both platforms and providing in depth books and digital training on both platforms, C5 Insight is uniquely qualified to comment on this announcement and what it might mean for the customers of both products. So what has the scuttlebutt been around our office and among our clients on the topic?
Predictive dialers have been a staple of outbound call centers for decades. But evolving customers and evolving customer relationship management systems may spell the end of the predictive dialer.
