Steve Sullivan - Channel Doctors - How Do We Manage Customer Rage?
Q: Where do you see this trend going in the next year or two?
The trend may continue unless organizations address the emotional cost of customer rage; potential shifts include more emphasis on staff support, better upstream problem solving, and a cautious exploration of AI assistants that don't amplify negativity.
Steve Sullivan - Channel Doctors - How Do We Manage Customer Rage?
Q: What do you think businesses are doing that promotes this level of frustration amongst customers?
Businesses often fail to provide easy, timely resolutions and rely on barriers or poor digital options, which pushes customers towards frustration and abuse, especially when self-service falls short.

Q: Steve, can you just tell us a little bit about Channel Doctors and yourself, and how you fit in with this broad CX space?
Channel Doctors is a UK-based consultancy focused on contact centers and the broader CX space, with Steve Sullivan bringing years of frontline experience in customer engagement and service design.
Gareth Bray - Premier CX - Why Customers Prefer WhatsApp
Q: How does automation and AI fit into WhatsApp workflows without losing the human touch?
Automation can handle decision trees and bot-guided flows, but the goal is agentic AI that executes user requests (like changing a delivery) and ties into CRM/ticketing, preserving a seamless, capable customer experience.
Gareth Bray - Premier CX - Why Customers Prefer WhatsApp
Q: What kinds of benefits do companies see when they implement WhatsApp for support?
Companies see improved CSAT, higher agent efficiency, lower per-contact costs, and the ability to offer asynchronous responses that fit customers' schedules, especially with capabilities like menus, documents, and multimedia guidance.
