Every company wishes that they could predict the future—it would make business plans so much easier and more straight-forward. Imagine sourcing for headcount, and moving forward with product improvements knowing exactly what was going to happen when you did? Fortunately, while predicting the future in its entirety is close to impossible, predictive analytics can help businesses like you make smarter, data-driven decisions about where they’re going without any magic powers.

Every company wants to improve its customer experience. But if you only examine your relationships with customers and fail to look under the hood, you might get nowhere. More and more, research suggests that employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) are intertwined, and in order to improve on one, you have to improve on the other. In this post, we’ll examine the relationship between EX and CX and cover the basics of employee experience surveys.

The retail apocalypse may just have to wait. Reports of the industry’s collapse have made business headlines for the past year, with one Business Insider article proclaiming, “The retail apocalypse has descended on America,” while a Bloomberg article claimed retail’s decline is “really just beginning.”. But despite predictions that more than 3,800 stores are expected to close in 2018, the death of retail, much like Mark Twain, may have been reported prematurely.

18 months ago Utah was a place I might have struggled to pick out on the map. Everyone in Utah seemed to like starting CX companies but that was as much as I knew about the place. Yet, the wheels of fortune were turning and leading us to our eventual home in Salt Lake City. This round of capital is the result of a journey we started more than 18 months ago when we got our first real round of institutional capital and dreamt of building a global company.

How are your best value added customer experience efforts sabotaged, both pre- and post-sale? What you do, when you are not actively selling, engineering, coding and serving, adds value to each customer’s experience of how it is to work with you.

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.

I was recently asked which industry sectors have the most issues with poor customer service and what could be causing this? Telecommunications (telecom, TV, internet), health plans, government offices, airlines, and insurance are the industries that consistently produce the lowest overall customer satisfaction (OSAT) scores.
