Customer satisfaction quantifies the degree to which a customer is pleased by a product, brand, or overall experience. If you don’t measure customer satisfaction, you may be blindsided by customers who churn or discourage others from working with you.

Post-call surveys are an industry standard when it comes to assessing customer experience. But if you are a CX leader looking to understand the level of effort customers are encountering, then relying on these sorts of surveys is the wrong path forward.

When you stop to think about the job of a call center agent in an inbound contact center, it’s really no wonder so many people consider it a stressful task. Talking to complete strangers on the phone, one after another for hours, day after day is enough to make many people anxious.

However, if you shorten the word to drama , it takes on an entirely different meaning—one that’s negative. Merriam-Webster’s definition for how the word is used in this context is that it is “a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces.”.
