Instead of having to blast your content on metaphorical loudspeakers, the consumers of today see themselves as their own personal brand. They want to invite you into their inner circles – on one condition: they want a company that they can identify with, that is aligned to their vision of themselves.
The rise of the internet has also led to the rise of accessible information. Almost everything is just a click away, and this has changed the game of marketing immensely. Consumers are now more aware of what’s out there, and feel even more inundated by it.

“Customer Experience Management (CEM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) are the same, right?”

While it may be true that at their core, both systems revolve around the key interactions a customer has with your brand, CRMs and CEMs serve distinctly different purposes and operate from two contrasting angles.

If you got wedged under a rock in 2017, it may be both a blessing and a curse that you missed the CRM AI media frenzy.

Listening to a voice of the customer presents a challenge to most of the sophisticated contact center. Many different techniques are used to determine and evaluate the quality of customer interactions such as holding times, disconnection rates or reaction times. But this technique tells about events within customer interactions instead of the reason why they occurred. So here speech analytics plays an important role...

There is no doubting that the CRM industry is a thriving one. According to Gartner, CRM is now considered the largest of all software markets – with a worldwide revenue of nearly $39.5 billion.

While the customer relationship management (CRM) system has had a monumental impact on sales and driven home the concept of a universal system of record across the enterprise, it is not really a system for knowing or managing the health of any given customer. CRM revolves around sales, plain and simple.
