'Consider the customer referral as the true money question; it’s the final frontier of loyalty. If your customers are willing to stick their neck out vouching for you, they have become your marketers. A customer referral means that you’re firing on two important cylinders. First, you’ve done enough things right that they meld together into an experience that’s more than the sum of the parts of your organization.

'Back when I was hustling to become a customer experience consultant and keynote speaker, I spent 1000′s of hours researching how companies become leaders in customer experience. I examined companies like Starbucks and Zappos in awe of how they grew to become a world-renowned, customer focused organization. As I say in many of my keynote speeches, the primary reason I devoted my career to customer experience management is because it earns greater profits and revenue.

The experience is based on the entrepreneur as a person – and often reflects that in spite of their best efforts!

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.

'Very little shreds of respect remain, if any, after we’ve put a customer through the third degree that many customers experience when they encounter a glitch, and actually need to return a product, put in a claim or use the warranty service. As tempting as it is to debate customers to uphold a policy to the letter of the law, suspend the cynicism and work to believe your customers.
