Going by the classic definition of a recession — two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth — the U.S. is now in a recession. Recessions typically necessitate a re-evaluation of spending and growth plans, and in years past, it meant a reduction in spending on technologies to address customer experience (CX).
Fortunately, that’s not the case anymore. Customer satisfaction has been the top business priority for three straight years, beating product/service quality, revenue generation, information security, employee retention, and investor satisfaction, according to Metrigy’s Customer Engagement Transformation research study of 724 organizations.
