high touch
Hands-on, not automated
High touch describes interactions or services that emphasize personal attention and human contact over automation or self-service.
A high-touch customer experience involves dedicated representatives rather than chatbots.
The term contrasts with high-tech approaches: The spa offers a high-touch alternative to app-based wellness.
In sales and healthcare, high-touch strategies prioritize relationship-building and individualized care.
