There is nothing wrong with that approach, per se. You obviously want to pay a lot of attention to the people who buy your product/service (customers) and the people who help you have money to do it better (investors, if you have any).

Childhood bullying gets a lot of attention these days, but bullying and other bad behavior can be just as destructive in the workplace as on the playground. Over the years, I’ve seen people with poor social and interpersonal skills unnecessarily make life miserable – not just for themselves, but for everyone else in the workplace.

Some people love to tip and others do, but begrudgingly. However, it appears that nowadays everyone is expecting a tip even if they are just serving you at the checkout! When you see a tip jar by the cash register what do you think? To me, the tip jar says “I deserve a tip”. But it says quite a bit more, too, and none of it good about your Customer Experience.

I’m always talking to people in customer experience roles about the importance of executive buy-in. Other executives should feel connected to the work you’re doing, and ultimately that should move towards one-company leadership. Now everyone is ideally on the same page, and making decisions that benefit a customer-driven growth engine. Not every company gets there, but in recent years you’ve seen more and more companies trying to align silos and collaborate better.

For a period in human history, all we had were spoken words. Later we learned to communicate through written symbols and today it seems the most preferred communication medium is words shared through video. Great customer experience brands are not only “visual storytellers” but they are supporting their customers as those brand loyalists visually communicate about their brand journey.

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 Customer Success Team Is Happier. Humans like to do what humans are good at. Delegating tedious and repetitive tasks to machines means a happier and more focused team. Standardized and automated processes take some design and implementation time, but once they’re launched, CSMs can sit back, watch it run , and adjust when needed. This means their brains are more dedicated to human activities: engagement, intuition, value-added, or relationship building.
