The New Knowledge Management Required for Customer Service in the COVID Era

COVID-19 has triggered a tsunami of demand for customer service. A flood of questions about payment deferrals, paycheck protection programs, COVID-19 infection, stay-at-home directives, shipment status, and more, are overwhelming contact centers, which are struggling to keep up.

No wonder customers are getting frustrated with many switching to competitors, something businesses can ill-afford at this time of economic uncertainty.
