Episode Overview. Jason Bradshaw is the senior leader for customer experience — same role as a CCO, essentially — for the Volkswagen Group Australia. He’s been there since October 2015. Previously he held similar executive customer-facing roles with Target Australia, Fairfax Media, and Singtel Optus. There are a lot of interesting aspects to my discussion with Jason, but one of the bigger ones is his hiring process, which was quite thorough.

For the past century, cars have been an integral part of the American dream. Owning a vehicle provides more than just convenience. Cars represent freedom, fun and self-expression. At least until recently, having a car was synonymous with independence, especially for young people. All of that’s about to change. In the near future, car sharing and mobility platforms will become an attractive alternative to car ownership.

If the rumor is true, Amazon will challenge industry leaders like Nike, Lululemon and Under Armour in the $44-billion active apparel market. Amazon’s interest in activewear shouldn’t come as a surprise given the massive growth of this space.

The Wall Street Journal has released its annual scorecard of U.S. airlines, sizing them up according to factors that matter to travelers, including delays, on-time arrivals and lost baggage. Overall, the newspaper reported, airlines did a better job on some measures in 2016 than in 2015, with 7 percent fewer late arrivals. Alaska Airlines earned top rank for the second year in a row, but as a customer experience consultant, I was just as interested in the airlines at the bottom.

How did Michael Jordan become the best basketball player of all time? Sure, for the majority of his career, he had Phil Jackson, arguably the greatest coach of all time. Jackson refined Jordan’s skills, but it was the hours of jump shots, free throws and conditioning that Michael worked on when Phil wasn’t around that made him the greatest player of all time.

Company Culture Trickles Down From the Top. The most successful businesses and brands typically follow the same path when it comes to leadership. If your employees and company culture are a priority to you, your customers and their experiences will be a priority to your employees. Leading by example is critical to the success of your company and is the beginning of what is known as the “waterfall effect.

If you are like other CX pros, at some point in your CX career you'll encounter the "money question." Your CEO will ask you: "What's an improvement in our customers' experience worth in dollars and cents?" And it's likely that you won't have a (good enough) answer. I say that because I know that 50% of CX pros we surveyed have not modeled how CX quality influences customer behavior.

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.

In my exclusive column for CustomerThink in October 2016, I shared my ‘top tips’ for creating the right culture to enable an organisation to become genuinely customer centric. Whilst the list of seven things is by no means exhaustive, in my experience, together they provide a remarkably solid foundation to embedding the right environment and supporting behaviours to turn talk of customer centricity into reality.

One common dilemma we often hear from researchers is that they are investing a great deal of time, resources, and effort to develop a high quality survey, but their survey response rates are declining, as is their online data quality—leaving them unsatisfied with the outcomes of their research. After all, the research is meaningless if the survey results are inadequate.

Over the years, as a customer experience consultant, I’ve increasingly become a student of “game theory” and of the “gaming industry.” I sense I am not the only one. For example, Thomas J. Watson the founder of IBM is quoted as once saying that “business is a game.”. As you likely know “game theory” is a branch of mathematics that postulates how people interact with one another to get their respective needs met (either in competitive or non-competitive ways).

As much as we may try and prevent them, negative experiences are a part of life. When our customers are unsatisfied with an interaction with or a purchase from our company, the best thing that we can do is apologize to them.

There is an ongoing evolution of how people view call centers. Initially, many thought of call centers as just an extension of a company’s administration office, and nothing more than an answering service provider. But as the call center and business process outsourcing industry became more competitive to meet the ever-changing demands of businesses, that perception has shifted as well.

Author: Vincent Giraud The original aim of customer service was relatively transactional – a consumer made a query, an answer was provided by the company, the customer was satisfied and the interaction was completed.
