Shopping for a home and a loan all from the comfort of your phone is the new norm. Customers want answers and approval within minutes, not hours or days, and especially not weeks. Instant gratification is the mantra that rules the day. Time spent waiting equals the loss of a client’s business. Bottom line, if you are not embracing all that tech offers, you might as well be driving potential business to the next shop.
And as technology moves faster to solve problems quicker, customer patience grows thinner. A study of 6.7 million users conducted by Associate Professor Ramesh Sitaraman from UMass Amherst showed that viewers tend to abandon online videos if they take more than two seconds to load.
