Maintaining strong customer relationships is key to business success, especially during times of uncertainty. Contact center agents are on the front lines interacting with customers on a daily basis, getting to know their most pressing needs and solving their core issues. Empowering agents with the right tools is essential to personalizing the experience, solving complex problems and meeting consumers’ expectations.
