Redefining Value in the Age of the Empowered Customer
In today’s communications market—where customers have greater choice that ever—service providers must foster customer advocates who will promote the service provider to other customers as well increase their spending with the provider. Customer advocates are created by deepening the relationship the customer has with the service provider through a superior customer experience and differentiating product and service options. At the same time, recent economic times have encouraged service providers to keep a keen eye on operational performance to control costs while improving the customer experience.
