Over the past decade, our society has undergone an unprecedented digital transformation. We rely more and more on digital devices, and with that, our expectations of businesses have changed. With the immediacy of alternative options available to us as consumers, we’ve reclaimed influence over customer service and sales experiences.

The problem is that most companies do not have the resources to meet these high demands. That’s why many companies have begun to develop a conversational marketing strategy that combines the efforts of live agents and automated live chat platforms.
