While digital transformation isn't a prerequisite to improving customer experiences, it sure helps! However, it's not that simple. If you're trying to upgrade your digital experiences (or just looking to measure the perception of services and products better), join Matt Beran and Nate Brown (Arise) on this live session to understand and overcome the blockers and friction that tend to get in the way of great experiences. Nate Brown is the Senior Director of CX at Arise and Co-Founder of CX Accelerator. His primary focus is helping employees understand the customer journey and how they play a role in improving it. Some of his previous experience includes being the Chief Experience Officer at Officium Labs and the Head of Customer Experience at UL.
In today's episode, I chat with Jonathan Shroyer, a San Mateo, CA-based Chief Customer Experience Innovation Officer, at Arise Virtual Solutions Inc., a disruptive technology platform connecting the world's biggest brands with a previously untapped network of small business owners and their agents. Prior to this, he held roles with Microsoft and Kabam.Jonathan's mantra as a leader is to dream big and go forth to achieve what others say is not possible. The future is built by those that say how can it be done and adapt Nelson Mandela's ‘Win or Learn' philosophy. The results speak for themselves, as Jonathan has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal with a Lifetime Achievement Award, by Forbes and Fortune USA as one of the Top CX Professionals of 2022Given the depth and breadth of his experiences, it was rather predictable that we discussed the future of work. And I was particularly interested in Jonathan's take given the diversity of organizations he's supported. We also tackled customer experience, and more broadly, its intersection with employee experience. I've been saying for years now that a merger between Marketing and HR is in the not-too-distant future. The melding of inside and outside voices necessary to ensure organizations not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. It was such a pleasure connecting with Jonathan. And I hope you enjoy it.

Who is this SpreadsheetScheduler.com company I keep hearing about? SpreadsheetScheduler.com SS Schedules in Excel WFM If your call center experience has been anything like ours, I am betting that time and time again you have probably been stuck having to decide between blowing your budget on a fancy, yet surprisingly expensive WFM system, or limping along by manually trying to optimize schedules on a bunch of spreadsheets created for you by some guy named Todd in Accounting. These home grown spreadsheets typically lack any sort of automation and thus take a lot of manual work and are hard to truly maximize staffing efficiencies. And yet even large call centers like eBay and the United States Postal Services that have gigantic budgets and spend millions of dollars a month on their call center staffing, still have benefited from spreadsheets to help them forecast. With forecasting being a mix between an art and a science, many companies need these advanced forecasting spreadsheets to take their forecasting to the next level. WFM systems can apply the scientific side of the numbers, but need human insight into the data and knowledge of the business and trends. With so many call centers still needing to rely on spreadsheets, we at SpreadsheetScheduler.com created a low cost model that would allow us to provide forecasting and scheduling programs based in Excel Spreadsheets at very low costs to allow small call centers to gain big call center efficiencies, as well as create forecasting models for call centers of all sizes to be able to apply both the art and the science to their forecasts. We even provide some of our WFM products for free. We do this to help get the word out about how awesome our products are, and get a free sample of what we are all about. So feel free to download and enjoy any of these products to help satisfy your WFM needs. You can also check out some of our WFM articles we have written. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Conversations That Matter: A Podcast For Contact Center Professionals
