First, I’m already a customer and can’t understand why they can’t figure that out. Second, why is the price they are offering a new customer lower than what I’m currently paying? This concept, offering a new customer a better deal than an existing customer, is nothing new.

The new cashierless Amazon Go store is open for business in Seattle , and it could revolutionize the way we shop. At least that’s what some people think. Personally, I’m not so sure.

These timeless sales principles have been preached in countless sales trainings, team meetings, and one-on-one sessions, decade after decade. “Live by these rules, and riches will abound,” they say.

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.
