What's Next in AI, Self-Service, and Customer Service?  Shep interviews Jay Patel, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Webex Customer Experience Solutions. He talks about how AI and innovative technologies are transforming contact centers to improve both customer and employee experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How is AI transforming the customer service experience?  How is AI improving self-service options for businesses?  Will AI ever fully replace human customer service agents?  How can AI help reduce burnout and attrition rates among contact center agents?  What risks should companies watch out for as they adopt AI in customer service?   Top Takeaways:    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way companies and customers interact. With advancements such as smarter self-service options and AI-powered voice agents, companies can now resolve customer issues more quickly and intuitively. This leads to a more seamless and satisfying experience for both customers and customer service agents.  Many customers still prefer to call customer service, despite companies offering self-service options. In this year's Customer Service & CX Research, we found that 68% of customers still prefer to talk to a live customer service agent. Some self-service options may not always be as effective as companies and customers want them to be. However, self-service is expected to improve as AI becomes more intuitive and capable of handling more complex problems. When it is easier to use and more effective in resolving issues, customers may grow to trust and utilize self-service more frequently. While self-service tools continue to improve, many customers will still prefer to speak with a representative, especially for complex or emotionally charged issues. AI-powered voice agents are set to become more advanced, handling conversations "just like humans," allowing customers to get resolutions without waiting for a human agent to become available.  Customer expectations are higher than ever. They expect immediate answers and help when they reach out to a company. Companies must keep pace with this demand by ensuring they offer customer care options that are quick, reliable, and easy to use.   AI just doesn't help customers. It also helps employees by making their jobs easier and more fulfilling. For example, AI is used to provide agents with call history, so customers don't need to repeat themselves, and it can give agents the information they need to solve the customer's problems efficiently.  As companies use more AI tools, keeping their data safe and secure is more important than ever. Strong security policies and data protection help build trust, allowing customers to feel more comfortable using digital services.  Jay Patel shares information about Cisco's WebexOne 2025 in San Diego, California, from September 28 to October 1, 2025. This event will highlight real-world customer successes and the latest innovations in AI-driven customer experience technology.  Plus, Shep and Jay discuss the future risks and responsibilities that come with rapidly adopting AI in customer service. Tune in!  Quote:   "We've been speaking  a lot longer than we've been typing, and I think the most profound technology change we'll see soon is that machines will be able to understand us through voice."  About:    Jay Patel is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Webex Customer Experience Solutions business, responsible for product development, engineering, operations, and go-to-market.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1101: Today we talk about how AI is quietly reshaping the workforce under the guise of “restructuring.” GM reports a profit dip but revs up electrified truck updates to meet shifting demands. Finally, California launches an innovative apprenticeship program to tackle the auto tech shortage head-on.GM's Q2 net income fell 35%, hit by $1.1 billion in tariffs, but the company holds firm on full-year profit goals. CEO Mary Barra highlights strategic moves to align with consumer demand. Meanwhile, GMC is updating its trucks and SUVs with plug-in hybrids arriving in 2027 and EV redesigns planned.Q2 revenue dropped 1.8% to $47.1 billion; North American pretax profit down 46%.Tariffs expected to cut profits by $4-$5 billion this year.GMC's Sierra and Yukon will add plug-in hybrids in 2027, with EV Sierra redesign in 2028.Hummer EV and other models due for updates through 2029.Barra: “We'll emerge from this transition stronger and more profitable than before.”California dealers are tackling the nationwide shortage of skilled auto techs with a new apprenticeship program. The initiative lets aspiring technicians learn on the job without upfront costs, offering wages, tools, and a U.S. Department of Labor certification after two years.CNCDA reports 400,000 tech job openings nationwide; California alone needs 5,000 more.The shift to EVs and retiring experienced techs are worsening the shortage.Apprenticeship pays a fair wage, requires no tuition, and includes e-learning tools.Open to anyone, especially those 18-30 without college degrees, aiming to avoid student debt.“This program offers a practical path to a lucrative career without the burden of traditional schooling,” said CNCDA representatives.While companies rarely admit it publicly, AI technology is increasingly driving workforce reductions disguised as restructuring or optimization. Early layoffs have targeted 1099 freelancers, especially in content and creative roles, HR, and Customer Service as firms cautiously phase in AI tools before affecting full-time employees.IBM and Klarna have been among the few transparent about AI replacing some jobs despite overall growth.Companies often use euphemisms like “restructuring,” “reorganization,” “optimization,” and “business efficiency” to mask AI-driven job cuts and avoid backlash.When AI falls short, companies often outsource work globally instead of rehiring domestically.“AI might automate 70% to 90% of a process, but the last mile still needs the human touch, especiallJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

390 Good Service Goes Both Ways Anyone who has ever worked in customer service has at some point or another dealt with that one customer. You know the type, the huffy, irritable, “My issues are more important than your wellbeing and rules” that insist and demand everything, while demeaning you in the process. Unfortunately, these people will always exist, however what we can change is how we allow these types of interactions to affect us.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins tells the story of one of her own unruly customer moments, as well as how she chose to learn and grow from the experience in order to teach others.    Highlights Respect others. Especially those who are in a position of community service. Carrying your work home with you is not healthy for you. When you are rude and nasty to people, no one will be in your corner.    Quotes “But then it hit me, I should write a book about customer service. The point would be that good service goes both ways. If you want good customer service try being a good customer first.” “Because it's easier to provide good customer service when you are looking at it from the perspective of the customer.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Can you think of a time when you weren't the best customer? When whatever was going on in your life erupted into a situation and you treated someone badly? Did you apologize? Can you think of a time when you had exceptional service? Did you tell the person or their manager? Did you write a rave review? What made the experience memorable?  We need kindness around us. You know the old saying that people are fighting battles we know nothing about. And when you're frustrated with a situation it's rarely the fault of the employee in front of you. And most of the time they can't fix it without engaging their supervisor. So start with kindness and develop an advocate for yourself. Let's do our best to bring our best to others.   And, as always, thank you for listening.  About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

As a private practice owner you cannot rely only on great clinical care to attract new patients and keep them over time. You're supposed to be great and there's plenty of competitors to you. How do you differentiate? One way is to offer great customer service, but unfortunately a lot of practices don't take it seriously. My guest today consults with dental practice owners, and he helps them take it seriously. Since 2003, Jake Goates has given group seminars and training on sales and marketing. He is a Key Opinion Leader for various dental marketing companies. Since 2013, Jake has personally consulted more than 5,600 dentists nationwide on their marketing strategies and sales skills to reduce unnecessary spend while increasing collections. Jake founded GOAT Dental Marketing Consultants in early 2023, providing marketing strategy and sales coaching for dental offices across the country. Jake, with his wife and two daughters, enjoy living and playing in the mountains of Northern Utah.In this episode Carl White and Jake Goates discuss:What's included in customer service and what's notWhy medical and dental practices are late to the game in prioritizing customer serviceExamples of the best customer service he's seen in dental practicesWant to be a guest on PracticeCare®?Have an experience with a business issue you think others will benefit from?

Join us in Oregon for our Bloom Together Business Soiree on September 4th! Get your ticket while you can at ⁠https://www.cubicletoceo.co/bloomtogether⁠ Most companies in the custom closets and home organization industry outsource their manufacturing, but Jennifer Q. Williams did the opposite, and it changed everything. As the founder of Saint Louis Closet Co., Jennifer invested in bringing the entire production process in-house from day one, a bold move that allowed her to deliver fully customizable builds, reduce lead times to 4–6 weeks, and maintain a 100% on-time installation rate. This strategy has fueled 34 years of sustainable growth and empowered her to say yes to complex, last-minute projects — including a high-profile build-out for Grammy-winning rapper, Nelly. In today's case study on building a customer service centric company, we'll dig into how in-house manufacturing didn't just build customer trust and media buzzworthy opportunities, but how it also protected her business from supply chain chaos during Covid and the recent tariffs, led to faster payment collection, and created loyal clients who now drive over 50% of Saint Louis Closet Co.'s revenue through repeat and referral business.

In this episode of The Intuitive Customer, Colin Shaw speaks with Andy Traba, VP of Product Marketing at NICE, about the company's new mission: Creating a NiCE World. This isn't just a rebranding message — it's a strategic shift toward unified, proactive, and AI-enabled customer experiences. Andy and Colin explore why AI alone isn't enough, the dangers of siloed implementations, and why leading organizations are turning to platforms — not point solutions — to orchestrate connected, emotionally resonant journeys. If your organization is serious about CX transformation, this conversation provides clear guidance on where to start, what to avoid, and how to align internal functions toward a shared customer strategy. Quote of the Episode “The moment you find success with AI, you'll want more. That's why you have to start with a platform — not a point solution — so your entire organization can scale, align, and deliver a truly connected experience.” — Andy Traba, VP of Product Marketing, NiCE  

A little change of pace tonight as our guest had to reschedule, but we have plenty to get us by.

In this episode of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val dives headfirst into the Orwellian tactics of modern censorship and the emerging threats of AI-driven narrative control. He opens with commentary on Trump's viral “Epstein hoax” post and explores whether it's a strategic nudge to expose mainstream hypocrisy or a larger piece of psychological warfare. Frankie digs into Google's new “About This Image” tool, explaining how it fits into a broader campaign to delegitimize independent research, especially around subjects like biolabs, war crimes, and election interference. He compares these efforts to digital book burning, where tech giants erase context and reshape the past in real time. From secret Fauci emails about Wuhan labs to bombshell articles on war profiteering and suppressed medical data, the episode paints a clear picture: we're in an information war, and the battlefield is your perception. Frankie wraps with a passionate call to seek truth beyond curated headlines, reminding listeners that history is being rewritten by those who fear transparency most.

Sarah went camping with her family and it was predictably calamitous in the best way possible. We hear why kids don't ride bikes anymore, parents are chauffeurs, and why it matters.

"Third time's the charm" is a saying that suggests perhaps the third attempt will be more successful than the two prior failures. By no means has the past two versions of Test Track been failures. But it seems like this is a huge opportunity to learn from the previous experiences and truly come up with something that could be loved for years to come. We chart out not only all three, but also talk about its forefather, The World of Motion. On our journey I pick up my friend and colleague Nick Grande, to talk about our experience testing Test Track, where it works, where it doesn't and where it retreads. Great news! There is much to love about this new version. And while we've seen people either completely love or hate it, we'll give you a complete sense of how you can get both responses. Join us for Test Track 3.0. Is the third time the charm? ____________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!
