What are the Best Customer Feedback Questions to Ask? I talk and write a lot about customer feedback. If you’ve read my article on Listening Assessments or downloaded our free Customer Interview Guide resource , you know I love customer feedback that tells a story and contextualizes our other data.

I recently released my 2021 Achieving Customer Amazement research. We surveyed 1,000 consumers in the U.S. and asked them numerous questions about topics related to customer service, customer experience, loyalty, reviews, and more. One of the questions had to do with creating a personalized experience. . We asked customers to rate various customer service experiences on a scale of one to five, in which a score of one signified not important at all with five being very important.

It is really disappointing to new employees that the first day of orientation is spent on defining the rules and restrictions, usually required by the legal department, that, if not followed, will result in termination. At the end of the day, someone is asking, “How was your first day at work?” You don’t want their answer to be, “Well, all I learned was what will get me fired.” While that information is important, consider the overall message you are giving new empl

Buzzwords come and go in the customer experience world, but while we lose our patience with most, there are some that rightfully stick around. In 2013, Forrester Research landed on one such phrase – the ‘age of the customer’. Customers have more power than ever to get their voice heard and listened to. Brands are forever fearing that one viral tweet could severely damage or even destroy their carefully constructed brand image in a fleeting yet far-reaching flurry of complaints. .

It seems that most of the companies that customers love to do business with have something in common. They focus more on the customer than they do the sale. Sure, they want to make the sale, add more revenue and get higher ratings. What company doesn’t want that? But when they focus on the customer’s needs, the rest seems to fall into place. A great example of this comes from Dawn Mushill, one of our Shepard Letter subscribers.

For inspiring employee experience ideas, a great place to look is what you’re probably already doing for the customer experience. “Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can’t deliver good service from unhappy employees.” – Tony Hsieh.

As a customer service professional, you have been told by your supervisor to interact with all customers as if they are the customer persona. Of course, it is easier to have one of your customer personas. A persona is the general image of customer personalities. A persona is many customers wrapped all in one. But a customer is just one individual. Unlike a customer persona, each customer is different from the other.

In today's competitive business landscape, customer experience (CX) has emerged as a critical differentiator. Companies are increasingly investing in CX services to optimize customer satisfaction, drive customer loyalty, and ultimately, enhance their bottom line. Traditionally, businesses have had to choose between a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) approach or a full-service model, where an agency handles the entire CX program.
