That's because companies of all shapes and sizes are quickly adopting a new technology that allows them to serve more customers at the same time, in a much better way. And, they're spending over $140 billion a year to do it. This means no more having to navigate through a maze of automated "voice prompts" when you call a company to get an issue handled … No more having to waste time trying to figure out how to return an item, make an exchange, or get the help you need. And it's all thanks to the rise in this new technology. It's expected to grow more than fifty-fold over the next 24 months. And writers who get in now stand to benefit greatly. We've posted a special video interview with one of the pioneers in this new writing opportunity that explains everything.
