Abstract
Traditionally customer-facing departments — like marketing and professional services — are tasked with delivering excellent customer experiences, but organizations’ expectations are changing. Teams that tend not to be seen as impacting CX — like Finance — are now tasked with building better customer relationships.
However, knowing that building better relationships is a company-wide initiative does little to solve business’ deeply rooted problems. Namely, numerous stages of the business cycle contain functions which substantially raise customers’ frustrations and dampen their overall experiences.
Many leaders believe that software is critical to improving customer relationships and are eager to find a solution. This belief is so pronounced that software’s impact on customer relationships has a greater influence on leaders’ buying decisions than direct ROI.
