Summing Up The State of Customer Experience As At 2014. Looking at 2014, based on my personal experience, the experience of fellow consultants, and reading the relevant articles/posts, I am of the view that I can sum up the state of Customer Experience in 2014 as follows: There are only a handful of organisations that compete on the basis of the Customer Experience and excel at it.

The 2014 UK Analysis put together by Nunwood ‘s Customer Experience Excellence Centre. Waitrose ascends the rankings moving from being number ten (2013) to being number 7 (2014).

If there is, then it is worth taking a look at First Direct as it is in top place in 2014 and has consistently been in the top 10. ” and find myself in agreement with the author of the Nunwood 2014 UK CX report when they say (referring to First Direct) that the formula for CX excellence is a remarkably simple one. In the next post I will bring this series of post on the Nunwood 2014 UK CX report to a close.

The focus of this conversation is the customer experience themes that Nunwood call attention to in their 2014 UK Analysis Report. In 2014, customer’s expect ethics as standard. . Here, it occurs to me that it is worth pointing out that First Direct is No 1 on the 2014 list of CX Champions.

Customer experience is more than a full-time job. It’s more than a project. It’s more than a department. The best organizations spend plenty of time considering how to deliver exceptional experiences. The very best organizations then act upon those ideas quickly and with vigor. As we face the new year, I thought it would be fun to give you 15 ideas that might help you rock 2015 in a rapid fire way.

According to Wikipedia , the definition of a touchpoint is: Touchpoint (also touch point , contact point , point of contact ) is business jargon for any encounter where customers and business engage to exchange information, provide service, or handle transactions. Yes and no, Wikipedia.

Sure, you may not intend to, but there are probably ways you, as the leader of your department or organization, are sabotaging the experience your customers have. And who can blame you? Today, leaders have more expectations with fewer resources. We’re asked to report on reporting reports, meaning we spend more time saying what happened instead of making things happen. Time is limited and people are pressured.

It feels that way to loyal customers sometimes, thanks to customer rewards reserved for those walking in the door. When customers feel neglected, they take to the Internet , and on these companies’ very sites I found dozens upon dozens of customers voicing how frustrated they felt.

This post is part of the Customer Experience Professionals Association’s 2014 Blog Carnival. Customer experience is about so much more than call-center scripts or proper protocol around customer complaints. The best companies, the ones we know as customer experience leaders, adopt a customer focused view to everything. They instill the values that matter, not just the process. Large organizations however are big beasts. Silos make understanding the customer journey that much harder.

There is nothing more organic than how a passionate entrepreneur creates experiences for his or her customers. The experience is based on the entrepreneur as a person – and often reflects that in spite of their best efforts!

Cooks and the customers they serve who can see each other – literally – both feel better about the experience. A recent study found that if cooks in a restaurant kitchen could see the customers ordering and enjoying their food and the customers could see the cooks preparing it, the food tasted better. Transparency in the experience is magic! If the cooks could see the customers, but not the other way around, satisfaction with the experience increased by 10%.

People are funny. When I speak to large groups, I always get a handful of people from the audience come up to me afterwards and say something they think is unique, but is something I hear over and over again. “I love what you say about caring about your customer’s experience! I totally get what you’re talking about. I sure wish the rest of my company would, too!” ” It’s easy to decide we get it. Because in truth, we do get it.

The trends covered include everything from the fall of the shopping mall to the confusion around bitcoins. The survey results from consumers highlighted what customers are really seeking.

For leaders to make smart decisions about who the best, most loyal and most profitable customers are, they need to understand the makeup of the customer population. This often means creating special loyalty programs , elite experiences, and special perks to maintain the top 1% of customers. How do you gauge customer value? Airlines have recently taken to creating secret, invitation-only loyalty programs for their most valued customers. But how do they define “most valued?”

The following is a Best of 360Connext post. Customers want convenience on their terms, not yours. With busier schedules and comfort with ecommerce, customers are choosing those brands who provide convenience in the way they like – not the other way around. If you are among these brands, then you understand that customers want convenience on their terms, not yours. Convenience, according to Merriam-Webster, is “something (as an appliance, device, or service) conducive to comfort or ease.”.

I had what I thought was a simple request. Let me explain. One of the nice perks of being on a certain level with American Express is gaining access to Regus business lounges throughout the world. A Regus card shows up in the mail and I use it! Not only is it a good co-working space, but they have offices everywhere. I’ve taken advantage of this perk when traveling , most recently in New York City. So I was pleased when the perk was extended to my 360Connext teammate, Ryan.
