This new installment of the series has corralled relevant year-over-year data to highlight areas of strategic insights, channel results, and operational insights of nearly 70 survey participants, representing some of the world’s largest and most successful brands. In this release, new questions have been added in the Staffing and Technology sections to include and expand the insights on hot topics, including “gig agents,” “universal agents,” and artificial intelligence.

• Only 40% of respondents indicated “Improve the Customer Experience” as their leadership’s top priority in the previous 12 months, down from 63% in 2017
• When asked what percentage of customer care engagements were occurring within each channel, 62% was the average response given for Traditional Care – the lowest average in 6 years of data

“This year’s edition paints a picture of great opportunity and dramatic change, with the new questions providing eye-opening insights for our audience,” said Chad McDaniel, President and Co-Founder, Execs In The Know. “While trending data is insightful to understand change over time, these new questions can fuel a strategy especially when cross referenced with the Consumer Edition data, and we are excited to share that with the industry.”

The 2019 Corporate Edition is the eighth consecutive year of reporting on corporate strategies and best practices and includes comparisons between the Consumer and Corporate Editions of the CXMB Series. This two-pronged approach reveals important findings on topics such as meeting consumer needs and expectations, channel consistency within the multichannel experience, and the impact of proactive follow-ups.
