Customers now expect a lot from the brands they deal with. They want to be recognized, get fast answers, see recommendations that make sense for them, and not have to repeat themselves every time they switch from chat to email to phone. Support models built on rigid workflows and big teams are finding it hard to keep up.<\/span><\/p>\n
