Products have become commodities. The distributors that win are the ones that deliver a consistently better customer experience—from the first quote to the final invoice.
The bottom line: customer experience is a company-wide responsibility that crosses every function you run.
The shift is from monitoring to acting. A modern disruption response system does not stop showing a user what is wrong.
Digital channels — including ecommerce platforms and online catalogs — are becoming the primary interface for customers.
Today’s customers want it all. They want to be able to go online and easily find products, prices and delivery information. But they also want to be able to call with questions and speak to a knowledgeable service rep. Some still want to look at pictures in a catalog.
