'Every company, regardless of size or industry, must use surveys to improve their customer experience. When it comes to customer surveys, I believe there are three types of companies: The “surveys don’t work” company : This company never collects customer feedback because they are short sighted and don’t know what to do with the data.

Last week, in my blog called “Reputation Management: Customer Experience or Marketing,” I established that reputation management is a way to assess an individual’s customer experience and, more importantly (to companies), a marketing tool to manage the impact of past customer experiences on other customers’ decision making in the future.

'Employee onboarding is the design of what your employees feel, see and hear after they have been hired. Often, companies confuse onboarding with training. While training does have a role within onboarding it doesn’t represent the entire scope of the process. Say yes or nod your head if you felt lost during your first few days with your past or current company.

'At PeopleMetrics we’re all about gathering customer feedback. But we aren’t just helping companies to listen to their customers – we advise them to close the loop too (that is, follow-up on the feedback – get in touch – help solve a problem if need be.). Following up with a customer or prospect who took the time to reach out to you is key to building trust and solidifying your relationship with them.

'There has been a lot to press about the General Motors failed ignition switch. There are many lessons to be learned about quality and manufacturing. But the most important lesson is about culture. Culture is your most powerful tool to create change. Exploiting your culture can drive significant improvements quickly. But culture can also stymy the best-laid plans.

'It is impossible to ignore the fact that customer service has gone all social on us. Our obsession with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram and more has led to the humble consumer actively seeking to interact with companies via social networks. Although this is a fact, there are still many organisations who are yet to understand how to manage this new ‘channel’ particularly well.

'We run to complain but move like snails when given the opportunity to recognize exceptional customer service. I’ve studied customer experience management for nearly a decade and have recognized a few trends. First, I believe customer service is improving. Organizations are slowly beginning to invest more into improving their customer experience to avoid paying customer service lip service.

Why my company? This one customer service call is going to ruin my brand! I’ve worked so hard to build it the right way, and why, oh, why did this one employee do that one thing?!

'Have you ever wondered why the customer experience is a journey, not a destination? The best journeys answer questions that, in the beginning, you didn''t even think to ask. -Jeff Johnson I often get asked why I named this blog CX Journey and why I consider the customer experience a journey and not a destination. Most recently, in a chat with Customer Service Guru , I was asked: You place a lot of emphasis on the idea that customer experience is a journey and not a destination.

'What is one of the biggest mistakes companies make in their customer service efforts? Not asking for or not encouraging customer feedback. The customers are the people keeping you in business. Listen to them. Many of us go about our day and do business with our usual vendors day in and day out. Or, maybe we are one of those 70% who leave because we don’t like the service and find someone who does treat us better and we like the overall experience enough to stay until we find someone else.

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.
