This is a general topic, but I'm curious what everyone is seeing. Anecdotally, I see US companies all following each other down the path of crappy AI bot customer service desks. Then, if you're patient enough (and subsequently frustrated by the process), there is an offshore resource that is less technically proficient than the average consumer when it comes to resolving issues.
I've found a repeated ****ty customer experience whether it's Lowe's, Comcast, hotel chains, credit cards. etc. Seems every C-level is following the trend and squeezing margins at the expense of customer satisfaction. Even if it means not really honoring warranties and protection plans. It's pathetic.
My question: do you think we'll continue this descent to crappy customer service (like the rest of the world) or is there a market forming for a better experience?
Personally, I'd pay quite a bit to get quality up overall. I'd love to know which brands are still operating with high standards as I'd gladly go in their direction.
