Panel discussion: Going beyond data: Connecting customer experience (CX) to revenue

As per Gartner, by 2023, 25% of organizations will amalgamate marketing, sales and CX into a single function. Cost constraints and overlapping functional activities will drive amalgamation aimed at reducing duplicative efforts, and standardizing and centralizing operations across marketing, sales and customer experience (CX). Can you go beyond data once in a while? • Personal connect: Does this guarantee loyalty? • Customer and employee experience: Can you incentivize both?
