of customers said that they have experienced problems with a product or a service — up from 47% two decades ago. The survey goes on to note that customers are getting angrier and angrier about how they are treated when they deal with companies — and are far less reluctant to express their rage not just to companies, but on social media for all to see.

Surprisingly, 41% of the companies we surveyed fall into the unfortunate “Laggard” category, where they see customer support as a downstream cost center requiring minimal investment, and suffer from low customer satisfaction ratings and high customer churn.

On the contrary, we’ve seen company after company make it work, often realizing results in the first year.

Second, your competition is using it, and the bar is rising for everyone.

So how should middle market leadership teams think about navigating technological changes given the very real limitations they face?
