Imagine a baby boomer, a Gen X’er, a Millennial, and a Gen Z’er walk into a bar. Sounds like the start of a joke, right? But think about it. How did they each choose the bar? Are they at the same place? What did they order? And if you were to ask them about their experience afterward, how would they answer? Their responses would be vastly different.

Acclaimed Writer, Consultant, CX Trainer, and this week’s guest of ‘The Sweets of CX’, Jeff Toister , likes to think of it as, “a compass that always points you in the right direction when you’re creating a customer experience. Technically, it’s really just a shared definition of an outstanding experience.”. So, we have the WHAT. But, wouldn’t it be nice to know WHY it’s critical to have a firm grip on this ‘compass’, and HOW to best create one?

Imagine you are selling a used car. Now, imagine your surprise that the person who wants to buy it is your brother. How would that be different from selling your vehicle to a stranger? Would you haggle as hard? (Now, to be fair, if it was my brother Neil, my answer is yes.). People act differently in various types of relationships and transactions. This distinction between these two types of situations is something that psychologists have studied, and the subject of our recent podcast.

Detailed list of steps to take to improve your poor Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) and optimize customer experience (CX).
Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO
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.

Your customers are your enterprise’s life’s blood. When you get a new customer, work to retain them and grow customer lifetime value. While the sales team will always be looking for new customers, retaining a current customer is far cheaper than finding a new customer to replace them. When you retain a customer, you’ve won a valuable patron who will be far likelier to want future sales or try new products. .

Great CX is not the result of desultory or half-hearted actions. Though your company may agree that it is an essential component of your overall strategy, it takes more than a conversation or the mere recognition of its importance to boast a winning CX program. In many cases, it takes a movement. The reality is that more CX programs fail than succeed.

In today’s customer-centered economy, focusing on short-term customers is an outdated business model. Instead, enterprises must nurture every customer relationship to increase retention and customer lifetime value (CLV). . Customer lifetime value is the net profit acquired from a customer throughout a company’s relationship with them. The easiest way to calculate CLV is to multiply the annual profit gained from a customer by the average length of time of customer retention.
