Rethink what great CX really means from the consumers’ point of view and whether they believe brands truly have their best interest at heart.

Customer preferences for digital vs. in-person interactions

It’s not a simple story of digital migration; consumers want a mix of options, depending on what they’re trying to accomplish.

CX Imperatives

“This research provides reported consumer preferences about their brand experiences— not conjecture.”

Quote
More than ever, customers know exactly what they want, where to get it, and how long it should take. It’s up to us, as leaders of brands and businesses, to deliver on these expectations — or else.
