Charging into the new year, it’s easy to want to name what’s ahead of us. I am seeing a few enthusiastic sorts claiming 2020 will be “The Year of Experience,” “When Experience Finally Wins” or “The Year of the Customer.” I ask you to greet these well-meaning mantras with appropriate suspicion.

With the telecommunications industry at saturation point, and with services largely commoditized, providers suffer from exceptionally high rates of churn. Accenture reports that 77% of consumers are no longer loyal to any particular brand, telcos must work harder than ever to retain their customer bases. Acquisition costs far outweigh those of keeping current customers, further motivating companies to implement innovative strategies to boost customer retention in the telecom industry.

If I asked you for $100, what would you say? My guess is no. You probably have a rule against giving people money just because they asked you. But what if I asked you for $1? Most of us would probably be okay with that. Sure, it’s still giving money, but it’s only $1, and that isn’t the same thing. However, by saying yes to giving me $1, you broke your rule about giving people money just because they asked you.

One of our faithful Shepard Letter subscribers emailed me a story. He was at a store, and the employee was friendly and engaging. But when he saw her later—when she was off duty—she acted indifferent toward him, almost rude. She wouldn’t even smile, which made him wonder, “Shouldn’t people greet you as warmly outside of their work environment as they do while on the job?”.

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 rarely visit a bank in person, but I use my bank’s website every week. I’m sure I’m not alone, and often wonder why every banking website I’ve used feels like the equivalent of walking into a building with torn carpet, flickering lighting, and a couple of leaky pipes overhead. I always look around and think, “this should be a whole lot better.” And I’ve long been interested in using a bank built around online services.
