Under the impact of digital, customer relations have undergone fundamental changes over the last 5 years. Customers and prospects are now almost all connected and the use of digital technology in everyday life has also become a way of contacting companies.
This is of course in addition to the communication channels initially available. And it goes without saying that the customer expects companies to respond ever more quickly, even instantaneously in the age of messengers such as Messenger or WhatsApp.
This is changing the way customer interaction flows are managed. Companies need to rethink the balance of their customer communication channel mix to reflect customer habits and preferences.
