With a record 5.7 million passengers expected to fly domestically in the US between Dec. 20 and Jan. 6, this holiday season will put significant pressure on travel and hospitality businesses. High passenger volume, the heightened emotions of customers who are eager to reach their destinations, and rampant competition mean patience is limited and the risk of churn is high. Considering that more than two-thirds of companies compete primarily on the basis of customer experience, it’s critical that companies in these industries continue delivering exceptional experiences despite the busyness of the holidays.

Modern businesses that want to flourish in today's tremendously
competitive marketplace are taking the old phrase ‘caveat venditor'

centers as well as self-service and online channels, play an essential
role in a company. As the natural owner of a large part of the customer
journey, customer care can offer priceless insights by helping
businesses find pain points, describe journeys, and spur collaboration
across functions.

According to a Walker study, by the year 2020 customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator. While customer expectations for more and better service are growing, utility companies have not kept up.
