As the saying goes: the customer is always right.
For many technology companies, this saying has taken on new meaning as personalized customer experiences and prioritizing a customer-centric culture have become intrinsic to success in the wake of emerging technologies.
While there is much debate and speculation about the role AI will play in the future of customer experience and customer service, providing seamless service is still largely the responsibility of human employees.
Outsourcing any part of customer service to chatbots can often lead to failure. According to Accenture’s Life Trends 2024 report, 41 percent of frequent technology users say technology has both complicated and simplified their lives.
So instead of an either/or situation, companies are increasingly turning to data-driven insights to provide CX teams with the information and tools needed to deliver the kind of customer service that sets them apart from competitors in the marketplace.
This is especially true within the competitive field of fintech, where excellent CX can make all the difference when it comes to customer retention.
Skills for the future
Although CX didn’t really exist a decade ago, it is now a crucial component for all technology companies and as such is proving to be a secure career option within the technology sector.
It’s also a great place to go from other areas, especially for analysts who are used to collecting data, and for company directors who are well-versed in interpreting and implementing analysts’ findings to identify new areas of growth.
According to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Future of Jobs 2023 report, analytical thinking and creative thinking will be the most in-demand skills in 2027, and both lend themselves perfectly to a career in CX.
