'How was I not in Boston for MarketingProfs B2B Forum ? Seriously. How did this happen? It’s a long story and one I hope to rectify next year, but instead I had to settle for the countless tweets , posts and photos of Seth Godin and others basking in the glory that is Ann Handley.

'Considering how process-focused experience planning can be, it’s not terribly surprising to realize how diversity is often overlooked as a key ingredient in successful customer experience strategies. Diversity is a critical component, in my opinion. The world is incredibly diverse, small, connected and transparent. Pretending your customers are one dimensional only amplifies the fact they’re not.

'Last year I interviewed a customer experience leader for my blog. During the interview this person had a basic assumption that the CEO was completely bought into the CX program. So I finally stopped and asked, “What do you do when your CEO isn’t on board?

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in.
