There are many approaches to doing touchpoint mapping. My recommendation is always to keep it simple. One client told me they had “Visio blindness” from the hundreds of hours spent mapping every customer process. That’s not going to get you traction and prove the work. This is what will get you traction: Map the stages and get to the set of initial priority touchoints along the customer journey.

According to trendwatching.com, the feelings a Customer has when they are getting excellent Customer service are the same as the feelings they have when they feel love. I couldn’t agree more. Most excellent Customer Experiences leave Customers feeling valued and important, or, in other words, feeling the love. There are three things that great companies that have excellent Customer Experiences do in common to make Customers feel the love.

The ideal customer journey is so tempting. It’s so magical to start designing the beautiful, happy day journey for our customers.

Employee Engagement is a concern for any organization worried about customer retention and employee productivity. Companies want to know what they can do — what program they can roll out, what software they can implement— to increase employee engagement in order to improve customer satisfaction. Since we know that the two are linked, it is vital.

Unaided feedback provides real-time trending on customer issues as they are occurring. Unaided feedback is the constant flow of comments, insights and issues your customers and partners volunteer to you. Unaided feedback also includes looking inside your data to understand customer behaviors across the stages of their experience, to identify trends, opportunities and customer at-risk experiences.

It seems most organizations have a Customer Experience program and an increasing number have started Employee Engagement programs. The issue for me is these are not combined nor complimentary, which is a huge mistake. Why? Because the experience you give your Customers is the same experience you should give your employees. It’s not only good for employee engagement, but it can mean your Customers are more satisfied with you—and how much they spend with your brand.

It’s never a bad idea to focus on bringing in new customers, but you need to make sure you won’t cycle through them. Retaining customers and inspiring their loyalty is what ultimately will make up a solid foundation for revenue. New customers aren’t as valuable as you may think if you don’t have a plan in place to hold onto them. A solid loyalty strategy isn’t something you can afford to do without, and the sooner you implement one, the faster your business will receive all of the benefits.

The lens for making decisions varies by leader. Each has a different definition of how well the company is growing. They measure it by their own internal deliverables and metrics. This creates confusion for employees and that confusion results in the random and inconsistent treatment customers receive. Without a conversation that unites leaders in what I call their operational ‘code of conduct’ for how the company will and will not grow, employees don’t have a clear road map for how to steer the

Social Media can level the playing field. It’s the equalizer between small and big businesses. Even solo entrepreneurial businesses can create a global presence using social media. With a strong website, optimized with the right words and phrases, a small business can make a big presence. Another benefit to social media is cost. Actually it’s the lack of cost.

In a past job, my superiors were excited about what they called the “elephant-and-rider metaphor.” It comes from psychologist Jonathan Haidt’s 2006 book, The Happiness Hypothesis , and it compares your emotional, automatic mental processes to an elephant—lumbering, inflexible, and massive. And your rational mind? That’s a tiny human riding atop the elephant—well-intentioned, nimble, holding the reins and the illusion of control.

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.

Alignment Around Experience (competency 2) is not merely about doing touchpoint mapping. It’s a competency to transform accountability and the language of leaders. And here I insert a little rant and a plea: Please don’t make mapping a shiny object that you take on because everyone is doing it. For this work to be successful, it must connect to leadership language and accountability and communication.

Did you know Netflix’s Net Promoter Score (NPS) is higher than the cable companies? It is, and it is one of the reasons we see growth in Netflix and continued dissatisfaction with cable companies. I love Netflix. It is simple. You can start and stop it when you want. My recent experiences with my cable company have been the complete opposite. This poor Customer Experience is one reason I now use Netflix more than my cable company.
