“As the number one enterprise experience platform, we are focused on turning feedback and insight into impactful action for our customers,” said Leslie Stretch, CEO, Medallia. “The contact center can make or break a customer’s experience, but as hold times have continued to increase, so have customer frustration and agent attrition. With Mindful, Medallia can give brands the ability to create more seamless and personalized experiences across every channel. We can increase the quality and volume of customer interactions. Most importantly we can help enterprises focus on the right way to talk to the right customers at the right time.”
