Micah Solomon on Customer Service in the 21st Century

Synopsis

Micah Solomon joins us on Edgewise to discuss his new book High-Tech, High-Touch Customer Service. He addresses the positive and negative effects technology has had on customer service today as well as the recent changes in the balance of power between customers and businesses. Using companies like Twitter and Yelp, Solomon describes the importance of immediate customer conversation and how customers now, more than ever, can easily choose to take their business elsewhere. Other good examples of technology harness for revenue are companies like Netflix and Amazon that tap in to people’s strong desire for self-service and the need to receive things much faster than ever.
