When the customer experience (CX) goes awry, it’s a contact center agent that feels the brunt. Author, businesswoman and influencer Kate Zabriskie sums up that kind of experience.

“The customer’s perception is your reality,” Zabriskie said.

However, consistent and innovative CX can make a positive impact for the agent, the workforce, and ultimately a contact center’s bottom line.
