Salesforce + Vonage Premier for Service Cloud Voice = Happy Agents and Happy Customers

While providing a satisfactory customer experience has always been important for businesses, the age of digital transformation has elevated CX to buzzword status. There's a good reason for that, considering 88% of customers say CX is as important as a company's products and services, according to Salesforce's annual State of the Connected Customer report.

However, customer satisfaction isn't all that matters. If your employees aren't happy, they may not be motivated to make your customers happy. On the other hand, high employee engagement, which Gallup defines as "the involvement and enthusiasm of employees in both their work and workplace," leads to greater productivity, less absenteeism, and better business outcomes.
