As I’ve been doing more episodes of my customer experience podcast , I’m increasingly hearing more stories about omni-channel collaboration and experiences. I love that. Silos need to align for the customer to have the best experience possible, and when the customer has that best experience possible, that’s really the place where revenue and growth reside.

I’ve been reading about Big Data’s foray into “Journey Analytics.” Journey analytics seeks to improve customer experience by collecting data at each point on a customer’s journey and mapping customers’ paths – whether they lead to a purchase or not. The idea is that when you know the steps your customers take in their interactions with you, you can design a better customer experience.

So, the other day I’m flying to a speaking engagement. While waiting for my flight to board I bought a yogurt parfait. After paying for it, I looked for a spoon. There were knives and forks, but no spoons. The little compartment next to the knives and forks was empty. I asked the cashier if they had any spoons. He pointed to where they weren’t. I told him they were out, and in an effort to get rid of me, he suggested that I could go to the restaurant next store and ask them for a spoon.

After Hurricane Irma’s recent march through Florida, millions of people lost internet, phone and cell phone service. Frustrated by an inability to contact loved ones, conduct business and get news, they looked for answers from their cable, cell phone and internet providers. Well, they didn’t get much. “I wish they would tell us what was going on,” complained one AT&T UVerse customer.

When I hear an excellent, and genuine, expression of empathy from a company, I make a note of it. I’ll tell Siri to capture what I heard, or I’ll just type it out. I save ridiculously good empathy statements so that I can share them with my clients. In customer service workshops, like the one I delivered Friday in Columbus, I challenge my clients to use the empathy I’ve heard (and felt) to inspire them to come up with their own empathic responses.

“Your Most Unhappy Customers are Your Greatest Source of Learning”. Bill Gates. The quality of customer service determines the future of any business, no matter the size. When customers are happy with your service, they become repeat buyers and join your “loyal” tribe. Angry and agitated customers, on the other hand, are unhappy customers who most likely expect an improvement in your service or won’t hesitate in switching to a competitor product for better services.

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.

I’ve recently spent some time visiting different hospitals, luckily not as a patient. There are a lot of amazing things that happen in hospitals, as the medical field continues to push the envelope on diagnostics and treatments. Many diseases that were once fatal are now being cured or at least managed. While medicine is getter much better, patient experience remains very problematic.

I got a job once when I complained about poor service. I was 17, and my mom and I were ready to check out at JCPenney. We couldn’t find a person anywhere in the juniors department. We walked over to lingerie and finally found someone in the boy’s department. That someone was a middle-aged man in a suit. With the boldness of a brash teenager, I said, “What do you have to do to get service around here?

I was giving a talk earlier this month in which I mentioned that technology is an enabler not a disruptor of business today. It was to the BPW Lake-Geneva (Business & Professional Women) group in Rolle, Switzerland, which was a first for me. Not because I was speaking about customer centricity as a disruptor, but because it was an all-female group.

Is your contact center training program producing the results you want? Is it keeping agents engaged and continually improving their performance? If not, I’m guessing your performance management process looks something like this: QA managers listen to calls, supervisors address common problems, and the needle doesn’t move.
