It's okay if millennials scare you a little bit. These digital natives are one of the largest generations in history (even bigger than baby boomers!) and moving into their prime spending years. Millennials have come of age in an era dominated by technological change and disruption, giving them a different set of behaviors and experiences than previous generations. This digital affinity means they are willing to try new technology and sacrifice some privacy for a better service experience at a much higher rate. So how do you prepare your customer service for millennials?

In our latest interactive infographic, Is Your Customer Service Millennial-Proof?, we show you how.

Sure, customers across all industries, countries, and generations are looking for customer service that is fast, easy, and personalized. But millennials in particular are looking for this type of 1:1 experience — and they're willing to pay more for it. Before diving into the interactive that will show you how to prepare your customer service for millennials, let's look at the following stats from the State of Global Customer Service report that will help you wrap your head around how millennials are currently changing customer service.
