, assessment is clear:
If you want to see the future of customer service you have to take a look at China. Customer Chats with reaction times of 3-4 seconds are no longer a futuristic vision, but a standard. Competitors who can’t sustain this fast pace will lose. And this is what will happen here too – it’s just a matter of time.
