Over the past few months, some retailers have been experimenting with virtual reality. With sales lagging, they‘re hoping that in-store virtual reality experiences will be the magic ingredient that lures shoppers back. Now, though, eBay has announced that it is launching the world’s first virtual reality department store. eBay’s new venture is being rolled out in Australia in partnership with Australian retailer Myer, and it requires nothing more than a free smartphone app and a pair of cardboar

We’ve all encountered these people in the workplace. The guy who wanders around joking with everyone but never seems to do any actual work. The woman who files her nails when she should be typing a report. The slacker who…well…nobody actually knows where the slacker is or what he’s doing! Co-workers label these folks ‘lazy’ and resent them for not doing their share.

Today, customers advise brands on where markets are going—not the other way around. According to a 2015 IBM CEO study , it’s “impossible to personalize products, services or experiences without a clear idea of customers’ core values and what’s happening in their lives.” Customers not only want to inform the future of products and services but also decide how, when and where they interact with brands.

As a customer experience company, we field a lot of questions from prospects about customer feedback. In fact, it’s common for prospects to have a system for collecting feedback—from rudimentary snail-mail surveys to online survey platforms. But it’s uncommon for them to have a system for acting on that feedback. Here's the thing: If you’re not acting on customer feedback, then there’s not much reason in collecting it.

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.

Earlier this year I had an issue with an airline so, as many of us would do, I called them. I was greeted with an automated message telling me that the wait time is expected to be 90 minutes. Naturally, I did what many of my fellow millennials would do and took my issue to social media. Twitter was my platform of choice and I simply posted something to the effect of, “Hey @airlinename, I’m stuck here and need you help to resolve this, please talk to me.
