Are companies collecting the right data for the customer experience? Would people rather chat with a bot or a human? How do companies ensure they reach customers the way they liked to be reached?

In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by guests Ido Bornstein-HaCohen (CEO of Conversocial) & Gabe Larsen (VP of Growth at Kustomer). We talk to Ido and Gabe about using bots to deflect reduce expensive FAQ-type interactions, treating customers as unique individuals as opposed to tickets, and using AI to augment customer service agents and improve the overall customer journey.

Hosted by Amanda Thurston & Emily Winchurch.

"I think we've got to get better at personalizing, not around the account but at the persona or the industry." -Gabe Larsen, VP of Growth at Kustomer
