My first-day advice to new members of the team boils down to, “Don’t worry, you are going to be totally miserable in about three months.”
We all know the excitement of that first day at work. There are new people to meet, new projects to learn, and new roles and responsibilities to master. Part of the intoxication of those early weeks is they are often the only time in our adult lives we are allowed to ask stupid questions and not have to pretend to know everything.

Businesses nowadays are becoming increasingly more customer-centric on their digital channels, and for a good reason too. Studies show that companies that put their customers at the core of their business are nearly 60% more profitable than those that don’t.

In other words, giving their customers a voice through customer feedback software such as Medallia for Digital.
