S2 Ep. 1 Delivering empathy — no agent required

Delivering empathetic customer experiences doesn’t simply mean being nice. It’s also means truly understanding and meeting your customers’ needs. Sometimes that requires an agent to listen carefully; sometimes it doesn’t require an agent at all. If you’re only able to deliver empathy to your customers when they talk to an agent, you’re missing opportunities to create an outstanding experience. In this episode, Michael Logan, Senior Strategic Sales Consultant at Genesys, and Ginger Conlon, Thought Leadership Director at Genesys, discuss how to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to better understand your customers’ intent and more effectively meet their needs. That’s the very definition of empathy.
