Technology Driven Customer Support |
When a customer calls a call centre, they are hoping that their query will be sorted out but that is not always the case. Sometimes calls go unanswered, customers wait on the call queue to be attended to or there is simply a lack of understanding between an agent and a customer. These are some of the factors that make customers leave a brand and switch to one which resolves their issues quickly and reliably. |
