Judi Hand shared thisMost CX teams walk into 2026 thinking they’re ready. But when you look closer, you see the same problems hiding in plain sight🫣. AI that doesn’t deliver. Data you can’t trust.

Judi Hand liked thisJudi Hand liked thisHappy 24th Birthday to Miles Consulting Group! 🥳 Back in 2002, I left Big 4 public accounting to co-found what would become Miles Consulting Group. Starting a business is never a small decision. You're trading certainty, stability and a job title for a blank slate but for me, the idea of building something meaningful and aligned with my values and vision was worth the risk. To our wonderful clients, thank you for trusting us with your business. Your partnership makes all of this possible. And to our amazing team, Bill Loew and I thank you for all that you do.

One of the fastest ways to stress test your CX and sales strategy is to compare notes with peers who are solving the same problems. Dialpad’s “From conversations to outcomes” Lunch & Learn series brings together leaders who are rethinking how they use AI and live customer signals across their operations. It is a working session, not a product demo, with live benchmarking so you can see where you stand and what to prioritize next. If you sit in CX, sales, RevOps, or customer leadership and this sounds timely, you can find the full series lineup and register here: https://lnkd.in/gVwZeRKq

Big news from my colleagues at Spectrum Business. We just expanded what we can do for California state and local agencies through the CALNET contract. Bottom line: it’s now easier for government teams to stay connected, work together, and keep their tech running without having to juggle everything on their own.

Technology Management Industry News AppDirect has closed its $100M+ acquisition of vCom Solutions, integrating vCom's network and mobility lifecycle management platform, Buyers’ Club, and managed services into its unified "everything store" for B2B tech advisors, enabling end-to-end IT spend oversight akin to Salesforce for customers or Workday for employees. This channel-first move equips AppDirect's 14,000 advisors with wholesale buying power to boost commissions on existing services while expanding offerings across hardware, cloud, energy, and more for 16 million subscribers. For IT and finance teams, it promises greater visibility, cost savings up to 30%, and streamlined procurement; strategically, it bolsters AppDirect's advisor-driven dominance in subscription commerce.

The Life of an Independent Director: From Driving to Guiding When you’ve spent years in operations -making calls, driving execution, owning outcomes the transition to an Independent Director can feel like switching from the driver’s seat to the rearview mirror. You're no longer doing,you're now watching, questioning, guiding. And that requires a mindset reset. You’re still expected to bring wisdom and insight but without overstepping boundaries. You need to understand the operations, but not run them. You need to challenge the leadership, but also support them. You are accountable, but not executive. It’s not easy. It’s not passive,It’s not part-time, if done right. An Independent Director is a strange and powerful mix: 👔 Consultant. 📊 Risk Manager. 🎯 Sounding Board. 🛡️ Guardian of Governance. You don’t steer the wheel anymore but you make sure the journey is headed in the right direction, on the right road, at the right speed. That’s leadership without control. Influence without command. And trust without interference. Welcome to the boardroom. #IndependentDirector #CorporateGovernance #BoardLeadership #LeadershipTransition #FromOperatorToAdvisor #StrategicThinking #LifeOnTheBoard #LeadershipEvolution

90% of call centers are trying to scale… with systems that weren’t built to scale. Not because they lack ambition, but because they still rely on: x Fixed schedules x Overwhelmed agents x Tech stacks that don’t integrate x Ops teams waiting on IT to launch a campaign x Missed calls... because no one could pick up 📉 That’s not efficiency. That’s friction. Here’s what’s already possible with AI Voice Agents: ✓ Inbound and outbound calls, fully automated ✓ Use your own SIP trunks or ours ✓ API + Webhook integrations for full flexibility ✓ Real-time dashboards + recordings + transcripts ✓ Answering machine detection ✓ Ready-to-use templates for collections, scheduling, support ✓ Build your own bots—no technical support needed ✓ Seamless transfers to human agents ✓ Calendar integration + SMS, WhatsApp, and email available ✓ <700ms latency for natural-feeling voice response ⚠️ The technology is ready. The blocker isn’t technical—it’s strategic. - Will you keep growing through more staff, more training, more overtime...? Or with an operation that was built to scale (without friction)? - 🎯 If you're exploring automation for your contact center, let’s have a 30-minute technical + commercial session. 📅 Comment “Demo” or DM ume to book your spot. I'll show you how it works and how it fits your current flow. - #callcenter #voicebot #bpos #automation #contactcenter #aivoicebot #aiassistants

One of the best moments at ConneXions was hearing Gina Shuler from Home Telecom on the main stage give a shout out to the Buffering Podcast. Hearing her say: “I have gotten some really great ideas and insights, and I highly recommend it” says everything about its impact. Buffering was created to help BSPs succeed—by sharing practical strategies, real-world examples, and fresh ideas that can be put into action. And none of this would exist without Gabe Petersen and Zack Kilgore. Their creativity, commitment, and ability to consistently deliver high-quality content week after week—while managing full-time roles—is inspiring. They’ve turned Buffering into more than a podcast; it’s a trusted resource that customers genuinely value. When leaders like Gina share how much Buffering helps, that’s the ultimate win. If you haven’t tuned in yet, here’s where to start: 🎧 https://lnkd.in/eg-wZwyW

Lately, we’re hearing some consistent feedback from rural broadband providers... Rising customer expectations and workforce gaps have teams stretched thin, and that means key business functions often get deprioritized, not because they don’t matter, but because there just isn’t enough time in the day. Unfortunately, when these functions get sidelined, providers risk slower response times, missed issues, and inconsistent subscriber experiences - all of which can erode customer trust and make growth feel unsustainable. Lean teams end up in constant triage mode, making it difficult to proactively scale, retain talent, or compete on experience. Some providers try to solve this by piecing together contractors, investing in more tools, or asking already maxed-out teams to do more - but that rarely solves the root problem. Tools don’t solve execution gaps, and hiring isn’t always realistic in today’s labor market. Here's what we're doing differently at ISPN. We partner with providers as an extension of your team - not just to deliver services, but to actively remove friction, close capability gaps, and unlock scale. We align with your strategy, adapt to your workflows, and stay focused on outcomes that matter: customer satisfaction, operational resilience, and sustainable growth. Ask me how!

Verizon recently posted their 2025 Annual CX Insights report. There's are some great insights in the report, so if you haven't already I suggest you download it and give it a read. Here are some of my major take-aways from the report: 1️⃣ Customers and Executives have vastly differing opinions on whether AI has improved companies' CX. and this is because, 2️⃣ A lot of companies do not know how to measure the impact of AI on their CX. [I can help with that!] And lastly, 3️⃣ Customers still greatly prefer interacting with humans over AI. Check out my summary infographic for more details on these points:3 And download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gTuQXhfj
