I get a lot of “what a cool job!” when I describe what I do. It sounds so glamorous. And everyone is a customer, so of course I hear about the worst customer service they ever had, or less frequently, the very best they’ve experienced. It is awesome. I love what I do. But as the idea of customer experience takes off, the mythology around it does, too.

Failing customer experience initiatives are keeping business leaders up at night. According to an Accenture-commissioned study by Forrester Consulting, only seven percent of business leaders think that their company’s shopping experience exceeds customer expectations. Twenty-five percent admit that their company isn’t meeting expectations at all. CX is a huge business opportunity.

For many business-to-business (B2B) companies, relationships with customers are ongoing, which gives these companies the opportunity to improve on relationships over time. Typically, these companies first take the information they obtain from customer journey mapping to make internal improvements to their own processes with an eye toward making the customer experience better.

If you’ve been listening to my podcast — I can’t believe we’ve done 41 episodes — one of the topics that comes up a lot is talent strategy. That is somewhat of a broad term, but here I take it to mean “getting the best people possible and retaining them.” Most CCOs will mention talent strategy when they talk to me, either on my podcast or in client work.

We are fortunate enough to have two homes; one in England and one in the U.S. However, we are unfortunate enough to have two telecom providers; Virgin Media in England and Brighthouse, now Spectrum in Florida. Neither of them provides a Customer Experience worth mentioning—at least not in a positive light. Telecoms are bad at CX around the globe! Back in 2012, we did some research involving over 40 telecoms.

Omnichannel is an area where many organizations have been investing time and money over the last few years. By enabling seamless communication across online and offline channels, omnichannel strategies should equally benefit both companies and their customers. However, a common mistake many organizations make is taking a self-centric approach to the omnichannel versus a customer-centric one.

When we meet new clients at our customer experience consultancy, they often tell us they create value for their customers by offering low prices. They think “value” means “price,” and they believe that customers want to save money more than anything else. There are two major problems with this kind of thinking. First, it doesn’t take an economist with an Ivy League degree to see that cutting prices can only go so far.

This post originally appeared in my regular column in Touchpoint Journal , published by the Service Design Network. I’ve been a fan of service design since my introduction to it in grad school —and an active champion of the discipline since my initial involvement with the Service Design Network back in 2010. In fact, I’ve spent a significant amount effort over the past five years helping companies understand what service design is and how it can benefit their organizations.

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.

This week on our Friends on Friday guest blog post my colleague, Steven Macdonald, shares the results of a study examining how companies around the world respond to customer service requests. I find the results quite alarming! – Shep Hyken. Good customer service – especially in response to customer service requests – is one of the most valuable investments any organization can make.

There is a vital shift happening right now in healthcare. People are bringing technology-fueled expectations to their patient experience, and they are demanding innovation in the way care is delivered and managed. Just like in retail, travel and transportation, financial services , automotive, and nearly every industry, the old fee-for-service and fix-what’s-broken approach is no longer enough.

I just heard that Pete Winemiller passed away, and it hit me hard. I knew that he had been battling cancer, but I thought that he was winning the fight. How could he not? Pete was one of the most positive people that I’ve ever met. The world lost a wonderful man… and a true customer experience trailblazer. […].

Over the next 12 months, what do you think will have the biggest impact on your CX automation efforts? When asked the same question, only 10% of CX leaders surveyed by Verint chose telephony.

B2B marketers can learn a thing or two about mobilizing advocates from our B2C cousins. Think about the products that you use every day. For me, it’s my iPhone, Sennheiser headphones and Altra running shoes. I didn’t go straight to a store or the vendor’s website to buy these products. Instead, I decided to purchase.

Technology has progressed astronomically in the last decade, and its ripple effects are felt in every business, in every field. Consumers no longer peruse and purchase in the same ways, and we cannot approach them as we used to. As Forrester posited, we are in the Age of the Customer, and in this era of immediacy and availability, offering digital self-service is a requirement for any company hoping to provide high-level service for consumers.

Customer service is what I’m all about. It is my life’s mission to help companies create a customer service experience that customers think is amazing. So, I thought it would be nice to own the domain name CustomerService.com. But, surely some company that is totally focused on their customers would already own it. So, I typed the URL into the Internet browser and found out… it was for sale.

In September 2016, tech company, Yahoo, disclosed that 500 million user accounts had been hacked in 2014.

Security experts have criticized the former internet giant for not taking the necessary steps towards cyber security, and as a result, the company’s revenue and profits have fallen steadily in the last couple of years.
