Your brand is not a result of your marketing actions. Your brand is the result of customers’ perceptions of your customer service actions. On social media, customers are talking about you whether you like it or not know it or not. World-class or no class. And if they’re not talking world-class or no class, they’re simply not talking about it all. So, when it comes to your customers and customer service, don’t be just good.

Have you ever read an online newspaper, blog or magazine only to be asked for your feedback as a reader? Most of us associate customer feedback with, well, customers. However, for many businesses in the publishing industry, whose readers are their customers, asking for feedback directly is a way to optimize their product and learn more about user experience.

Combining online and in-store retail efforts in your business plan is an important integration that has the power to amplify reach and sales. Businesses often treat these as two separate priorities and miss the leverage of streamlining them together. Beyond just having an online store, it’s important to integrate it into an overall retail strategy.

Today, most markets are saturated, and companies are fighting for the same customers. This is why organisations should no longer aim for customer satisfaction but rather delight. But how can you delight your customers so they remain loyal?

For many in sales, negotiation is one of the most challenging aspects of the job. More often than not, these salespeople approach negotiation as a win-or-lose endurance game, a contentious battle that pits two opposing sides against each other. “Winning” means convincing the customer to accept your point of view—even if the outcome isn’t necessarily in the customer’s best interest.

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.
