“Meet the customer in their channel of choice but triage the hell out of it so you resolve it in your preferred place of preference. That's the single strongest recommendation I have for anybody is start doing intent level orchestration and mapping out where you want to resolve each agent, not because you can't resolve it on Twitter or Facebook Messenger, but make sure it gets to the place where it can be resolved, and that's where companies are really getting it wrong” – Andrew Moorhouse
