Who owns the customer experience in your organization? When it comes to putting customer experience management into action, it’s critical to know who owns the moving pieces. Who’s accountable for ensuring that every single customer encounters a well-designed and well-executed experience – regardless of where they are in their journey? Without true accountability, pieces are bound to slip through the cracks.

When we are honest with ourselves, we all know culture is the linchpin for everything we do in the Contact Center. We have the very best and newest technology, hire the perfect “on-paper” resumes, and have the budget of King Tut, but without a healthy, positive working culture…these things are essentially meaningless. Naturally, an exceptional culture is the hardest thing to build, and equally as difficult to maintain.

Today’s digitally savvy customers have high expectations of retailers for convenience, responsiveness, and ease of doing business both in-store and online. Our recent survey of over 2,000 US consumers found that retailers that can drive a seamless, omnichannel customer experience (CX) – across physical and digital channels – have huge benefits for brand relevance, profitability, and customer loyalty.

View Infographic. The retail industry is only set to become more competitive. Yet, most companies are still failing to meet customer expectations and become more customer-centric. According to Accenture , this is because there is a growing disconnect between what customers need and what retailers are providing.

Do you really know how your customers feel about your products and services? How about the quality of your customer service? The only way to really find out is to ask, which is why so many companies measure customer satisfaction regularly. The most common way is by sending customer satisfaction (CSAT) surveys, which ask customers to rate their experiences and share open-ended feedback.

James Carville, political commentator and media personality coined the phrase, “The economy, Stupid,” for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. Carville was talking to the team at the time to help them focus on the key messages for Clinton’s campaign. The slogan resurfaced in the 2008 campaign as “It’s the economy, stupid.”. I decided that for people working in Customer Experience, we needed a way to stay on message, too.

Business is built on customer relationships, and brand perception sets the tone.

Companies, of course, want to cultivate a positive brand perception among their target consumers, but it’s a tricky goal.

My first thought was that I didn’t die during the procedure, so he must have done a fine job. I can’t say much more, since I only spoke to the guy for about 30 seconds.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
