Your customers interact with you on their own terms, shift preferences, flow across channels, and take unpredictable routes to a fluid destination. As a result, your sales, marketing, and customer experience organizations need to deal with broader issues: customer’s demand for transparency, shorter consumer attention spans, ubiquitous connectivity and access, and traditional channel fatigue.
