Panel: Customer Engagement Starts & Ends With Your People!

by Dan Rohda, Matthew Kay, Eric A. Zerwas, and Greg LaFrance | at MinneBar 11

We live in a new world of customer engagement where businesses need to scale their organizations and do more with less. This is often accomplished by improving processes or leveraging technology to service their customers. Regardless, we do need to keep in mind that at both ends of any technology solution or process are people.

Join us for a panel discussion on how to best drive forward with a service accessibility strategy that does not diminish the customer experience, but rather enhances it. Our panel will include business professionals with experience in knowledge management & self service, customer success & account management, operations leadership and recruiting.

Come ready not only to hear from our panelists, but to share your thoughts and questions on how to drive best practices in customer engagement in the technology driven world we live in. Whether your are a business of ten or ten thousand, delivering customer experience excellence is critical to success!
