Lack of skills and competencies, hesitate to put ‘people’ first to operationalise the customer experience. Digital solution leads to eliminate human-touch to improve the customer experience?
Would you rather deal with a person than a digital solution and pay more for better customer service?
Is it not the best to balance the digital solutions with human ones, giving the customers the option for either type of an interaction?
Customer interaction is the best way to make a rapport with the clients. If we ignore the human touch the essence of the rapport fades away. Although with the advancement of technology, we lay more emphasis on customer convenience. Both have their pros and cons associated with them. A customer delight can only be achieved when there is a sync and balance between technology and human which can be more effective to overcome disadvantages of each other and provide solutions for the customers.
No, it is the very essence of everything.
Thanks
Actually, I can not imagine even globe invaded by machines since human who operate them , beside the feelings that machine does not include and needed from customers which they are human too
Anyways. I support the great answer and examples which given by Mr. Fazlur

For Customer Service human touch is necessary whether you see or not
Digital solution has come as a way of innovation and also to address the shortage of labour or high labor cost. For example coffee or soft drink dispenser, you insert coin and then you get the desired things. In this case human touch is also there i.e. the human has to put water, sugar, milk in the dispenser at regular interval.
In the absence of a human touch, customer experience relies heavily on automated systems, AI-driven interactions, and self-service options, potentially sacrificing emotional connection and personalized assistance but often prioritizing efficiency and accessibility in transactions and support processes.
magining customer experience without a human touch is like envisioning a stage play without actors – the script might be compelling, the sets elaborate, but the magic often lies in the live interaction and emotional connection. While technology undeniably automates and streamlines many aspects of CX, a complete absence of the human touch presents both opportunities and challenges:

The Future of Customer Experience:
The ideal future of CX won't lie in eliminating the human touch altogether, but rather in striking a harmonious balance between automation and human interaction. Here's how:
Ultimately, the key to exceptional customer experience in the digital age lies not in replacing human interaction, but in leveraging technology to its fullest potential while staying true to the core values of empathy, personalization, and trust. By striking this balance, businesses can create a future of CX that is both efficient and emotionally resonant, leaving customers feeling valued, understood, and connected.
The preference often depends on the context and the individual’s priorities. Foe example for complex issues like medical consultation, financial advice, meeting inperson would the best thing to do hence people are often willing to pay a premium for the assurance, empathy a human can provide.
On the other hand when a task is straightforward and can be efficiently handled by a digital solution for instance tracking orders, booking flights ...many will choose convenience and speed leading to less interest in paying extra for human interaction.
In general, a customer's willingness to pay extra for superior customer service and their preference for digital solutions or human engagement depend on the type of service, their personal tastes, and the relative importance of convenience and cost against human interaction.
