As the Buy Now, Pay Later wave crashes over eCommerce disrupting the more traditional payment and credit methods, I can understand the businesses who are still evaluating the implications associated with offering it to their customers.   From the transaction costs and moral dilemma of facilitating easy credit on one hand, to the potential boost in sales and significant reduction in fraud risk on...

The opportunities for direct customer contact seem to be growing fewer and farther between as technology advances with more efficiencies and better self-service functionality. 

This is a good thing though, right?  After all, if we can make a task easier for a customer, and achieve it without the need for human intervention, it’s WIN, WIN! 

So what’s the problem?

Well, sometimes we can focus more...

Staff transitions are an inevitable part of business operations as organisational structures change and people navigate through their own career trajectory.  Despite their inevitability however, each transition can create a time of significant turmoil for the Outgoing Person, the Newbie, and the Business:

• The Outgoing Person strives to keep business as usual running smoothly whilst...

Aaaand then one of the presenters recommended using a full-page interstitial to present all users with a coupon/promo code offer. I watched my pen hit the...

If I’ve been fortunate enough to have 10 minutes of your time, you’ve no doubt heard me utter the phrase “user experience” (“UX” for short) at least once. Happy customers are my jam, and customer experience is directly correlated to customer happiness.

I often hear the topic of web-based chat come up both in conversations with customers, and my digging through the web. Some of our customers have already implemented it, some are considering it, and some know it’s not for them.
