Quote: "We’ve been told that companies can’t afford to focus expert attention on customers. The truth, of course, is that they can’t afford not to. For a generation and more we’ve driven a wedge between people who have expertise with products and services and people who need that expertise. How’s that working for you? Me neither. It’s true that expert attention is a scarce resource. But we’re living through a Cambrian explosion of awareness networks and communication modes. Used adroitly, they can optimize the allocation of that scarce resource. Which is a fancy way of saying: Maybe personal customer service isn’t a lost art after all."

Attachments get lost. Inboxes fill up and emails bounce. It’s a major pain."
