Of what do you think when you hear the phrase ‘customer experience’? Most immediately presume a reference to the interaction a customer has when they engage a vendor or brand. While that’s certainly not incorrect, it’s a very limited view when considering the multi-dimensional aspect of a customer experience with a cloud-based software vendor. In.

The following is a Best of 360Connext post. I’m always amazed when organizational leaders don’t recognize the significance of the small things. They say things like “one comment isn’t going to hurt us” or “ anecdotes are mostly irrelevant.” Big data is definitely useful in guiding the big decisions, but please do not ignore the little things!

Most Customer Experiences are accidents—and unfortunately, they are not always happy ones. Why? Unless a company designs a deliberate experience that puts the Customer first and considers the Customer’s perspective, the message you send to the subconscious is rarely what you intend. The message you send will communicate how you are as an organization.

How purposeful is your company in working together to determine the experience it delivers to customers? All too frequently the customer experience is the unplanned collision of deliverables between silos. An experience that’s knit together through the life cycle isn’t really thought through. These efforts fall prey to being inwardly focused definitions of contact points by the silos.

Millennials are estimated to have a combined purchasing power of $2.45 trillion globally this year. It is only fair that they expect retailers to try and understand what they want. Millennials spend a great part of their time on the internet, not just to learn, communicate and organise their social lives but to shop too. And for retailers, this means understanding more about how to engage with this demographic and working out what they require from a shopping experience.

The following is a Best of 360Connext post. Do truly loyal customers actually exist? I argue the answer is no. Before you start quoting Steve Jobs and proclaiming your allegiance to the almighty Apple, please consider this: The fans of Netflix were die-hard, once upon a time. But with the emergence of other streaming services like Hulu Plus, Amazon, Redbox Instant and Crackle, once-loyal Netflix customers are switching to services that better suit their changing tastes and needs.

You have all done it. I know I have. It’s natural these days to stop working on a project and check your feeds, see how your post is performing, or how many favorites your latest Tweet earned.

How people feel about what they are doing (intrinsic motivation) is a key to sustaining their focus, energy, and commitment. One of the ways for companies to tap into this intrinsic motivation is to find ways for employees to feel as if they are contributing to the organization’s success (which is consistent with lessons from positive psychology ).

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.

Sometimes we have a relationship we think is good, but it really isn’t. It’s true in friendships, marriages, and yes, even business relationships. There are some signs that your Customer relationship is all about you, or one-sided, and they are easier to spot than you think. Many of the things that make personal relationships fail make your relationship with Customers one-sided.

When you hear a person (read Customer) sigh, what do you think they are communicating? Is it sadness? Frustration? Exhaustion? All three? Chances are, it’s a subconscious communication of many things, including all of the above. It’s important to identify what nonverbal clues like a sigh communicates—whether you are the one that heard it or the one that is doing it.
