As many people practice social distancing and in some cases isolation, technology has proven our greatest ally, keeping us connected person to person and business to consumer. Before the pandemic, people were already engaging with companies across multiple channels, by voice, text, chat, video, and social media, growing accustomed to choosing how we want to engage and getting a quick response. Now, as people are dispersed and businesses shut down, albeit temporary, these multi-channel communications have become vital. Companies and organizations have been resourceful during these uncertain times, exploring new outlets, some even changing business models as they move quickly to communicate in real-time with customers, employees and associates.

With so many SD-WAN solutions on the market, it’s important to choose the right vendor for your customer’s unique needs. The right provider can mean the difference between an SD-WAN deployment that accelerates innovation and competitive advantage, and one that’s inconsequential. For most multi-site organizations, it’s not a question of whether to adopt SD-WAN, but rather when and how it makes sense for the business.

Your customers are human. And should be treated as such.

Bryan Reynolds, Director of Sales Operations at TBI, shares how to engage your customer by creating a lasting human experience (HX) resulting in a confident, connected, and satisfied consumer of your products and services.

The days of the salesperson being a trite, overused stereotype are over. Successful sales people today can message technologies and pivot based on end-user needs. To most of you out there, this is not a new revelation; customers often feel as if they know the product based on their own research. You cannot discount a customer’s opinion, they’re the one buying after all. But what if their conception of the product or service is downright incorrect? How do we correct the customer without bruising their ego while still ensuring the next colleague that touches this account is aware of said interaction? Without a contiguous record of interaction, this sales cycle will be prolonged if the customer ever decides to buy your product at all.
