In my last post, we discussed the difference between interactions, engagement, and customer experience. Now, I’d like to dive deeper into customer experience and the role everyone in your organization plays in delivering that experience. You heard me right: not one department owns the customer experience—it’s every department! I often talk about customer experience lying at the intersection of communications, operations, technology, and employees.

Several days ago, I was told that the counter person did not want to say, “How may I serve you?” “I’m not a servant,” she said. She already had an attitude that disdained servitude. To her, servitude meant slavery, having no liberty to determine one’s own way of life. Servitude is having no freedom, consigned to a lifetime of misery and boredom. Service is not servitude.

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.

Finding the right survey solution for your enterprise is as much about knowing what you want to do with surveys as understanding how to navigate your internal approval processes. Most survey solutions will help you with a simple poll of how people feel or help you build a form to find out what people want to eat. But when it comes to building complex surveys for market research, customer experience, employee experience, or more, you need a solution that is more business software than consumer.
