The dilemma of finding the right talent in a highly competitive marketplace has intensified over the last few years in view of consistent shrinkage of FSE talent pool and increasing demand for service and support across multiple market verticals. In order to solve this problem, many service organizations are resorting to high tech in order to automate their service and prevent equipment failures, but at the end of the day your talent is the face of your company and a true representation of your brand. 

Is your service strategy directly impacted by the ever-increasing talent shortage? If so, make sure to join Ashley Turner for an overview of:
