I guess now I know that you just have a super narrow view. Cause no, call centers are not the majority. Not even close. The average tech worker interacts with far more SaaS software products in a day than a call center worker. That however explains your views. Call center software is an outlier. The workers are usually hourly, not salary. And so thier time does matter to the purchaser of the software, and usually it matters a lot. That just isn't the way it is for the rest of the SaaS market.

Oh Jesus.... It's not about how many you interact with it's the scale. A companies tech team is a fraction of the size of the call center.

Call center software is an outlier. Just that massive multiple billion dollar software industry. I mean who even uses Salesforce right?

But you were assuming people weren't hourly. So you were assuming you could have people work forced overtime, skilled workers, with nothing going wrong? Oh boy, bold management tactic.
