QATC Virtual Conference 2020 - Speaker: Sharon Oatway, President & Chief Experience Officer at VereQuest
There has never been a time in our shared history where empathy has been more important. Empathy in business has always been vital to maintaining and building relationships with customers, colleagues, and partners.

The resulting genuine human connection drives greater sales, resolves conflict, and gains consensus. But if empathy is so important, why is it challenging to engage customer service agents to express genuine empathy when it matters most?
