When I was 12 years old, I discovered basketball cards, I loved them so much I collected over 5,000 of them in one summer. I grew up watching Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Once I started collecting, I had to have their rookie cards and then a card for every year after. I loved basketball and memorized all the statistics of every player in the league.

Defining customer satisfaction is not easy. On the surface, you think you know what it means to have a satisfied customer. However, if you dig a little deeper, it would be difficult to say, emphatically, what makes them satisfied. . Think about gyms. They may assume that if someone doesn’t cancel their membership that they’re satisfied, but we know that’s not the case.

The nights are drawing in and there’s a chill in the air. Ancient folk memories of evil spirits start to surface. Magic and mischief reign. It’s Halloween. As you get into the spirit of the occasion, spare a thought for the humble contact center agent, huddled over his keyboard, staring into the abyss of another long shift of customer service hell. No trick or treating.

As CCOs, a lot of our work involves understanding what drives the culture of the organization. It’s about how the organization views its customers/audience, and vice versa. This deep dive is what I often refer to as the underbelly work. It’s about getting into the nitty-gritty and involves restructuring and reexamining how things have been done before.

Customer journey mapping can be a powerful tool to help you truly understand your customers, innovate around new ways to serve them, and identify gaps in their journey. But, that’s only if the map is used as a tool and not an artifact. Many CX teams spend months on a journey map only to have a beautiful poster on the wall that only tells part of the story.

Self-service is finally coming of age, with leading enterprises embracing the paradigm of customers helping themselves. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2020, 10% of initial B2C interactions will be virtual, up from less than 1% in 2019. But it turns out that not all self-service options are created equal. Walmart axed its Mobile Express Scan & Go self-checkout experience due to negative feedback from customers.

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.

Enduring professional stories are the stories clients and colleagues remember, long after you leave the room. First, your message sticks in their brains: motivating their actions beyond today. Then, that message catalyzes their professional behavior and mindset tomorrow and in the future. Why? Because your stories stick. Do you tell enduring professional stories or temporary ones?

The history of commerce stretches back 150,000 years. And as long as there have been customers, there has been customer service. Even as professional merchants began to flourish about 3,000 years ago, every exchange of goods and services remained face to face. That meant customer service was tailored to each individual. Until relatively recently a merchant knew all his customers and therefore had a personal interest in taking care of them.
