About Voice of the Consumer report
Cavell has seen an increasing focus on customer service. The question of “how do we enable our customers to communicate best with consumers” has become relevant for the whole industry. Coupled with this, the CX market is undergoing rapid change with the onset of increased automation, and it is not all going smoothly. Cavell wanted to look deeper at this space, from the consumer perspective and find out what was working, and what wasn’t.
