On our Intuitive Customer podcast , Professor Ryan Hamilton and I have been talking about the ways that customers are irrational in their decision making, often focusing on things that seem irrelevant. I came across an excellent example of this in a Scientific American article about men and the environment. We men, it seems, aren’t as good at being environmentally friendly as women are.

The other day I was talking with a gentleman who was as passionate about customer service and experience as I am. He had worked with support centers and we were discussing how important the team in a customer support center is to an organization. Yet, it surprised both of us just how low paid some of these support people are. That made me think about the teller at a bank, the person who is the “face” of the bank for all intents and purposes.

In this digital age, data resides at the core of everything. Businesses use it to garner essential customer insights that allow them to create the delightful customer experiences and compete at the top level.

We recently ran a customer experience (CX) focused AdWords campaign and it amazed us how many people were searching for something like "tactics to improve Net Promoter Score" or "how to increase NPS in a restaurant?”.

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.
