When we are honest with ourselves, we all know culture is the linchpin for everything we do in the Contact Center. We have the very best and newest technology, hire the perfect “on-paper” resumes, and have the budget of King Tut, but without a healthy, positive working culture…these things are essentially meaningless. Naturally, an exceptional culture is the hardest thing to build, and equally as difficult to maintain.

Seemingly every customer believes they have the power to bend the business world to their exact needs.

Now, how do you expect me, of all people, to answer this question? It is never too early to focus on retaining customers. Because if you do not make customer retention a simultaneous part of your customer acquisition process, then you will be worrying about retaining customers down the road.
