from Questions for now - Compelling perspectives on digital CX

On this episode, we explore why enterprises often trust their CX service partners with their customers — but not their revenue.A new IDC study, sponsored by TELUS Digital, reveals a striking imbalance between the percentage of enterprises that rely on a CX service partner for support and analytics and those that engage those same partners for inbound B2B or B2C sales, despite revenue growth ranking among their top desired outcomes.Host Robert Zirk sits down with Robin Jakobsen, director of product strategy for Customer Experience Management at TELUS Digital, to find out what's behind that disparity and what enterprises could gain from closing the gap.
