Executive Interview : What Does 2019 Hold for the Contact Center Industry?

We asked Executives, what do you think 2019 holds for the industry? (good or bad and where/how etc)

Kim Houlne
CEO
Working Solutions
United States

"Just like other industries, such as retail and travel, ours is being redefined by market forces and consumer expectations. The status is no longer quo. This means your business model must change with the times and shifting views. What worked yesterday might no longer produce results today. So, examine how innovation from other businesses might apply to ours. Changeover and cross-pollination should be standard operating procedures. Also, this year will be tougher than 2018. The economy is predicted to slow. Trade wars dampen consumer spending as politics continue to run amok. Headlines create business headaches. I believe it’s wise then to take a hard look at your call center operations now, shore up any shortcomings and prepare to run leaner in-house for the foreseeable future—with outside resources at the ready."

"Real-time Connectivity with customers via social medial to build brand equity and humanise your industry fast, easy and tranparently. This is good only if you can keep up, must be active where your customers and audience are. Bad if you can't keep up; provide feedback realtime, monitor every tag, respond to negative feedback immediately etc. So 2019 and beyond, the focus in realtime connectivity is key to the industry and survival is based on whether you are on the social platform or not."

Companies can no longer rely on the traditional way of running their contact centers as an ancillary service. They are now pivotal to the overall business strategy.

Sharon Melamed
Managing Director
Matchboard
Australia

"2019 should be a great year for the customer from the perspective of increasing sophistication and availability of self-service options. The only negative thing I see becoming more prevalent is the trend for companies to not advertise their number or email address, forcing people to deal with self-service help, which isn't always effective."
