I have seen many businesses wonder, ‘How can we build better rapport with our customers?’ or ‘How can we ask them to trust us?’ All of this and much more to improve their bottom line.

Sometimes your Customer Experience requires you to outsource a portion of it to a third party. Maybe it’s an installer or a tow truck service, or even an entire call center, but whatever or whoever it is, this part of the experience is not under your control. Today, we will examine whether this is a good idea or not. We discussed this topic of outsourcing on a recent podcast , where my co-host shared a story about his friend who ordered a trampoline.

I’ve had the great honor of working with Southwest Airlines for many years and spent a lot of time talking to, not only Herb Kelleher, but Colleen Barrett who was the president (now president emerita). Once, I was talking to Colleen, and what she said was: Jeanne, at almost every board meeting, we have to fight to make sure that we don’t let those fees seep in, that we don’t start charging change fees or luggage fees, because that’s the foundation upon which people believ

How Customer Experience Maturity Develops. There is a natural arc to how an organization matures when it comes to customer experience. Let’s look at a common example scenario: First, it starts with an idea: customers are important! We should pay more attention to them. Next, it moves to what can be done. Typically, this means collecting customer feedback.

The role of a Chief Customer Officer (CCO) is a fairly new addition to the C-suite, but it has been on the rise over the past several years as companies are better understanding the importance of creating a customer-centric culture within their organizations. Customer success (CS) teams are designed to build, maintain and optimize lasting relationships with customers by helping them fulfill, and even exceed, their own business goals.

They discuss how companies can create a great end-to-end customer experience and enhance productivity through process mapping.

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.

Surveys have long been the backbone of getting to know customers. They’ve been seen as a relatively easy and inexpensive way of collecting feedback—and for the most part, they are. But the ugly truth is, sometimes traditional surveys can be long—and let's be honest—boring. Surveys aren’t always the most engaging to the customer, meaning you’re not likely to hold their attention long enough to get the information you need to make impactful business decisions.

Collaboration-resistant colleagues are tough to work with. Because there is not one idea you can introduce to the table they haven’t heard of before, thought of themselves, or already learned. Or so they say. Do you work with collaboration-resistant colleagues? . Your collaboration-resistant colleagues are “been there, done that” folks. Not knowing, not having an answer is not an option for them.

Measuring customer loyalty gauges the strength of your client relationships, helping you predict and manage performance. Loyal customers are likely to buy from you again and refer you to others, increasing your revenue. Customers who don’t feel committed to your brand are more likely to churn and spread negative word-of-mouth. Being able to quantify how loyal your customers are can help you evaluate where you stand with your clients, predict where your customer relations are going and take steps

One of the big concepts we teach in our customer service training programs is the concept of Always. This is the backbone of creating customer amazement. When the customer uses the word always followed by something positive, you are creating a predictable experience, and even more important, you are operating in the zone of amazement. For example, your customers might say: “They are always so helpful.”.

When thinking about education, most of us tend to think only about teachers and other administrative staff — frontline workers, so to speak. It makes sense; frontline educators are incredibly important and often underappreciated. In reality, the education ecosystem is like an iceberg: What you see is just a small fraction of the whole. In order for frontline educators to do their jobs successfully, they need access to things like books, software, and various other supplies.

For many small businesses, the idea of launching a chatbot to handle customer support and sales questions seems out of reach. The cost to run it, the expertise to set it up, and the time to manage it – all this needs a level of resource that they can only dream of.
