Seems obvious, right? It’s hard to have customers if you don’t have sales. True. But what happens after the sale? What happens when you are trying to establish relationships with prospects but don’t know what will hurt the relationship later? Too often, organizations with great intentions sabotage their customer’s experience before it even starts!

One of the annoying things about business travel is that you tend to need things in your hotel room at the worst time. More shampoo when you’re still in your pajamas. A mending kit to repair a button in time for your dinner meeting. The hotel staff, while generally helpful and accommodating, has other things to do. So you wait. It’s not the best customer experience, but if you travel often, you learn to live with it.

One of the biggest mistakes when measuring customer experience is focusing on what your team is doing instead of what your customers are experiencing. Metrics like time tracking, productivity, and performance take the front seat, but often don’t relate to the experience your customer receives or how they feel about it. Average reply time, first response time, and the overall volume of conversations can give you useful insights into the productivity of your support but they each have flaws.

Trust in the four major global institutions, namely government, business, media and non-government organizations, has taken a massive knock in the last several months, to the point where rebuilding trust has not only become a nice-to-have, but an absolute imperative, if these institutions are to survive. This is according to the 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer , a survey which tells a pretty dire tale of the disintegrating trust people feel in established institutions.

Customer experience looked very different in the early 1900s than today. At that time, customers were just beginning to experience the option to return items, for example. This type of experience was unique and part of a new type of consumer culture. Today, customers still want an experience that exceeds their expectations, but the experience itself has transformed to become more complicated and complex than ever before.

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.

Every week, I’m asked, “What is changing in customer service?” The expected answer is that I’ll talk about all the new ways customer service and support is conducted – and I do.

In my last blog , I explained why listening to customers can provide greater customer understanding than merely observing their behavior. Many companies seem to agree as evidenced by the number of Voice of the Customer (VoC) programs that exist and increasing amounts of feedback consumers are being asked for. And yet despite all of the customer feedback that is being generated—whether direct or indirect—many organizations still don’t truly understand their customers.

JetBlue built its brand on being a different kind of airline. At a time when other US-based airlines were cutting leg room, eliminating meals, and charging for bags, JetBlue gave flyers room to stretch, provided free yummy snacks, and resisted financial pressure to nickel and dime its customers with fees. The airline seemed to know it had a good thing going.

What brands come to mind when you think of good customer service? Immediately for me, it’s USAA, Amazon and Nordstrom. USAA is always available, offers multiple ways for me to contact them, is always pleasant and gets me to a resolution almost always on the first try.
