Problem:
Any customer who goes to your web site and doesn't get a good answer is dissatisfied. Just the fact that they went on-line looking for an answer made them believe it was available.
Marc McCluskey, an analyst with AMR Research
Compounded Problem:
Cross-channel transactions are emotional by nature — customers who choose to escalate from the Web to an agent are already frustrated, anxious, or in need of reassurance. Sloppy channel transition makes matters even worse.
Forester Research, Inc. , 2005
