From Tickets To Relationships | Mikkel Andreassen | Dixa

Описание: Summary:

In this episode of The Global Xperience, Bryce Cressy sits down with Mikkel Andreassen, Director of Solutions & CX Advisory at Dixa, to explore the shift from ticket-based customer service to conversation-led, relationship-driven CX. Mikkel shares his journey from agent to BPO leader to software provider, and how that “other side of the fence” perspective reshaped his understanding of service technology.

The conversation dives into Dixa's philosophy of “customer friendship” — building platforms around the user, not the ticket ID — and why omnichannel context is critical to loyalty and CSAT. They unpack the architectural differences between legacy systems and user-centric design, the growing role of agentic AI in workflow orchestration, and why customer service still struggles to prove ROI compared to marketing.



Using examples like Charles Tyrwhitt, they explore what premium service at scale really requires: context, orchestration, and AI working in the engine room — not just deflecting simple queries. The episode closes with reflections on retention vs acquisition, frontline data as a strategic asset, and what it truly takes to move service from cost center to retention engine.
