This is why some companies get a bad rap! Our colleague here at Shepard Presentations, Nate Jones, shared a story about something that recently happened to his father. This is a great customer service training lesson. He bought a new car. About a month later he’s in a parking lot and the car won’t start. So, he calls the dealership’s customer service number, which was actually a support center for all of that brand’s dealerships in the U.S. – maybe even the world.

Your customer service culture is not what your fancy “Customer Guarantee” promises, and it’s not whatever you say it is in your new employee handbook. For proof, compare this 2014 customer promise from Comcast — “We are committed to providing Comcast customers with a consistently superior customer experience” — to this recording from the same year. Your culture is the set of beliefs held by your employees about your company: who and what it is for, what it values, and how they act in response to

Consumers value good customer service, and they’re much more likely to buy from a company again when they’ve had a good experience with a company representative., But how do you perfect the science of CX and deliver a consistent experience to every person who interacts with your brand?

Every time I travel to Boston, I stay in the same hotel. It’s not fancy and the location isn’t great, but they know how to wow a customer. The way that I’m treated when I go there has always left an impression on me. The first time I stayed there, I arrived in the dead of winter. My face was chapped, and my hands were raw as I checked in. Ten minutes after I got to my room, guest services showed up at my door with some cookies and hot chocolate.

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.

Some brands go beyond loyalty and seem to spark a genuine love affair with their customers. Just think how fiercely Apple users feel about the company’s products, for example. But who can honestly say they love their bank, mortgage broker or credit card provider? There’s no reason why financial services firms shouldn’t be as beloved as technology providers, High Street coffee chains or soft drink brands.
