The other day I was talking to my friend and fellow customer experience (CX) expert, Dan Gingiss. He shared how he’s seen businesses take something that is either really boring or very serious—or both—and make them entertaining. He gave a great example.

Organizations use lots of incentives to encourage specific behaviors. The idea is that people will change behavior because of the monetary element of incentives. However, these incentives could be doing a lot more than that, which can have beautiful or terrible effects on your customer-driven growth. Ph.D. student Alicea “Allie” Lieberman from the University of California, San Diego, was a guest on our podcast recently to discuss incentives.

Connection is everything in moments of crisis. The question on everyone’s mind is, how can retailers navigate the new normal, where the ability to connect is more reliant on digital technology than ever? The first task is to look to consumers and ask, how can we address their most pressing needs?

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.

With the constantly increasing expectations of customers, providing 24/7 support is no more a choice. Instead, it has become a need of the hour, indispensable to survive the intense competition existing in the business ecosystem.

It’s not unlike having your firstborn away at college. Your child is in the dorm and on her own. For eighteen years, you’ve prepared her for adulthood. But you worry. Is she making friends? Will she be safe at parties and with alcohol? Can she juggle classwork with fun? Is she eating healthy? Your employees are on their own at home. If a remote employee’s next phone call is from an angry, irate customer, can they handle it?

“Detail is no detail.”. I’m not sure where I heard this first. I even did a Google search and couldn’t find it. Maybe I made it up. If I did, this is what I meant by it: details are important. They must be purposeful. Some of the “little things” that seemingly don’t matter can actually be very important. An example of this comes right out of my recently released book, the updated and revised version of The Cult of the Customer.
