Customer Bliss
MARCH 24, 2016
Customer desire is an emotion, and emotions can bond you with your customer. Companies that understand the powerful emotional pull of customer desire obsess about getting to know their customers and learning their desires. (And sometimes those desires can be simple.

Going the extra mile is an old expression. It describes people who provide better customer service, do a little more than expected and try a little harder. This is a great concept for customer service and is further enhanced by Roger Staubach, the Hall-of-Fame football player who played quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

Is it just me or do you find it weird when you search for someone on social media and you can’t find them? The same goes for businesses. If you don’t offer your customers numerous ways to contact you, the likelihood is the customer’s opinion of you is going to go down. Even if you have a Twitter account for promotional aspects only, you’re missing out on a whole world of customer service you could offer.

By providing reliable inbound customer service, companies make it easier for customers to reach out to brands and voice their concerns. Company representatives, from their end, are expected to know all the answers to any questions customers might ask. They’re also expected to know when to escalate complaints to the appropriate contact persons. The point of all these is to arrive at customer engagement solutions that will benefit both the brand and the customer.

Reports of the death of in-store shopping have been greatly exaggerated. This year’s retail survey found that more than 60 percent of consumers start and end their journey by visiting a store.

Gone are the days when product quality, price, and customer service were enough to win customers. Today customer experience--how customers feel about a brand and their encounters with the brand--is the new battleground. But customer experience itself has become a commodified term. At the Adobe Summit in Las Vegas, Adobe attempted to put a fresh spin on efforts to help businesses better engage and serve customers with a stable of new product rollouts and upgrades.

Based on the opinion of many people far smarter than me, it appears that humans have been on a journey to bring order to chaos from the beginning of time. In fact, the great graphic artist M. C. Escher once noted “we adore chaos because we love to produce order.”. So think about the world today and the chaos which envelops you and your customers. A few moments of reflection result in the conclusion that UNCERTAINTY ABOUNDS!

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.

The hospitality industry is the most unique in the business world because we don’t sell a product. We sell “ service.”.

I recently took my mother to a community theater performance of "The Music Man." Since my mom is in her 80s and has some trouble getting around, I picked a theater close to where she lives that would be easy for her to navigate. We both enjoyed the show a lot and it was great spending the day with her. The story I'm about to share isn't really about the theater experience but a related customer experience that occurred earlier in the day.
