Let’s talk about silos for a second. The concept of silos is so pervasive in business that I don’t even need to define what they are for you — there’s nearly a 100 percent chance you already know. And, to be honest, they’ve been around for years. Machiavelli was actually writing about them in 1513. There’s an argument among some future of work thought leaders that silos don’t even need to exist anymore.

In an earlier blog, my associate—Al Goldsmith—talked about what Mystery Shopping is used for.

Companies plan to invest heavily in customer experience (CX) in the next few years. In fact, according to a recent study, 60 percent of marketers already increased their CX budget this year. Money alone, however, won’t improve the experience customers have with your brand. Operationalizing CX and measuring its impact to the bottom line are important steps to scaling CX programs and accelerating buy-in.

I was shopping for a graduation card the other day, and all of them seemed to say something like this: “Dream big and reach for the stars, your goals are within reach and you are on your way to an amazing future.”. If I was just getting out of school I would find this rather terrifying. I think I’d much prefer a hearty “Congratulations – well done!” instead of a bunch of vaguely inspirational words reminding me how far I had yet to go.

For many organizations, the initial improvements in Customer Experience have long since passed. The early gains in Net Promoter Score (NPS) have faded into legend and the NPS now languishes in a plateau, quarter after quarter. Many organizations are scratching their heads wondering, “What now? However, they would be better off asking, “What’s next?”.

We’ve all been there. Churn, cancellation, breaking up. Call it what you may, it hurts. As it is in life, it is also true in business – when you go through a breakup, you should take the time to reflect, learn, and adjust accordingly. I am sure that you have heard this saying before, but it is worth repeating: “those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” (George Santayana).

If you are greeted by name next time you enter your favorite store, don’t worry, it is not a prank, you might be witnessing AI at work. The efforts companies make to customize the experience are triggered by the need to secure existing clients and attract new ones by positive word of mouth. Brand loyalty is hard earned and easily shattered by just ignoring a tweet.

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.
