In my last post, we discussed the difference between interactions, engagement, and customer experience. Now, I’d like to dive deeper into customer experience and the role everyone in your organization plays in delivering that experience. You heard me right: not one department owns the customer experience—it’s every department! I often talk about customer experience lying at the intersection of communications, operations, technology, and employees.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”. – Robert Collier. What are Micromoments? In any customer journey, there are countless small efforts. These include efforts from the company serving the customer and effort from the customer themself. . After all, the customer journey is really the journey of a relationship. The customer might be buying a product, but they’re also engaging with the brand in a thousand small ways.

With drivers queued up for hours waiting for petrol and station after station simply out of fuel, Britain’s fuel crisis is making headlines. But this time, the issue isn’t a global pandemic or foreign political unrest that has caused some petrol stations to introduce a £30 cap on the amount of petrol people can buy. Believe it or not, it’s the lack of lorry drivers.

Loyalty is one of the most overused phrases in business today. To most companies, it invariably means “customers give us all their money.” But that is not what loyalty is. So, today we’re going to talk about the five rules that will build customer loyalty. Or you can listen to the latest episode of my podcast here. Before we get into the rules, let’s talk about what loyalty is.

My name is Melanie Disse and I have over 10 years of industry experience—most recently in a VoC role at Mercury New Zealand.

As a customer service professional, you have been told by your supervisor to interact with all customers as if they are the customer persona. Of course, it is easier to have one of your customer personas. A persona is the general image of customer personalities. A persona is many customers wrapped all in one. But a customer is just one individual. Unlike a customer persona, each customer is different from the other.

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.

Several days ago, I was told that the counter person did not want to say, “How may I serve you?” “I’m not a servant,” she said. She already had an attitude that disdained servitude. To her, servitude meant slavery, having no liberty to determine one’s own way of life. Servitude is having no freedom, consigned to a lifetime of misery and boredom. Service is not servitude.

Knowing how to get customer feedback can be tricky. First, there is the challenge of getting customers to share feedback. Customers who are upset will often spread their displeasure to others without ever telling you, while those who are satisfied may keep it to themselves. Even when you collect customer feedback, it may be gathered through different channels, stored in different data silos, and never coordinated and analyzed in an organized and actionable way.

Recently, a client asked me what we at InMoment thought defines a “customer interaction,” as there had been some debate on the subject within his team. I pondered the subject and brought it back to my colleagues. Quickly, we were asking ourselves not only about the characteristics of an interaction, but beyond that, what falls under the larger umbrella of customer experience?

For effective customer success , respond to upset customer downgrades proactively. Just because a client downgrades, they don’t have to churn. In fact, you can use a downgrade as an opportunity to remind customers of the value of your product and the quality of your customer service, giving them a potential incentive to upgrade again. You can also use downgrades as data to gain insight into where customers are experiencing issues with your product, allowing you to make adjustments and improvem

Many years ago, my daughter and I were in our basement, and she found an old typewriter. She looked at it with amazement and asked, “Dad, what’s this?” I explained it was what we used before computers and keyboards were invented. We would type letters and thank-you notes on a piece of paper, without spell-check. She asked if she could play with it. It kept her busy for days.

People are power when it comes to business. And taking the time to understand employee thoughts, feelings, and feedback can be a game changer. After all, your employees are the ones keeping the wheel running. And if they don’t feel supported in their goals, employees are three times more likely to be job hunting. A successful employee experience (EX) program, then, must be at the top of your priority chain—and a successful EX program is one that allows employees to remain anonymous.
