Quotes:

“In working with contact centers for the past 10 years, I’m extremely eager to hear what such a prestigious group of speakers will say about the voice channel and where it’s headed. This is one session that no contact center professional should miss.”

-- Shai Berger, Fonolo, CEO

“The voice channel is being threatened as self-service, social media, chat and other alternatives grow in popularity. And although the phone may never be obsolete, it could become one of the least used customer support options. That said it is still potentially the most important.”

-- Shep Hyken, Bestselling Author and Chief Amazement Officer

“Agents are receiving customer queries at much faster rate because of the shift to mobility and self-service. While some might say voice is happening less frequently, I can confidently say that when it’s used the stakes are higher.”

-- Christopher Thompson, VP Enterprise Marketing, Plantronics
