State of Service

What You’ll Find in This Report

For the fifth edition of our “State of Service” report, Salesforce Research surveyed 8,050 customer service professionals to determine:

• How service organizations continue to adapt to an ever more digital-first environment
• How economic uncertainty is impacting plans for investments in people, processes, and technology
• The evolving role of field service in overall customer service strategies
• Approaches to talent management and development in a challenging labor market

Data in this report is from a double-blind survey conducted from May 6 to June 13, 2022, that generated 8,050 responses across 36 countries. Respondents are third-party panelists (not limited to Salesforce customers). See page 23 for further survey demographics.

Due to rounding, not all percentage totals in this report equal 100%. All comparison calculations are made from total numbers (not rounded numbers).
