We live in a world of instant where email may very well be considered the new snail mail. I’d be the first to admit too that I fit quite firmly in that group of customers who demand answers and demand them now. Edison Research tells us that “42 percent of customers who use social media for customer service expect to receive a response within an hour and 67 percent expect same day answers.” How do organizations keep up with customer demands and shift their marketing initiatives, customer service and sales efforts to meet the demands of customers? Where does real time fit in today’s customer experience?
In our next #CXO Twitter chat, guest Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g), chief analyst at Greyhound leads the conversation as we discuss “What’s real in real-time customer experience?” I will be leading the chat using Twitter handle @IBMbigdata and you can join easily using Tweetchat, where the hashtag #CXO is automatically appended to each tweet you send during the chat, streamlining the chat process.
Below are the questions we’ll be discussing as well as reference articles to help inspire the March 17th #CXO Twitter chat at 12 noon EST. Join us!
