It’s become cliché to say it, but everyone does own the customer experience.

Jon Reed, the co-founder of the website diginomica , is sick and tired of surveys. “Every customer interaction, no matter how trivial, triggers a survey,” he grumbles in a recently published article. “If my toothpaste company knew when I finished brushing, they would send me a freaking survey.”. Indeed, as Reed’s headline proclaims , “ The survey epidemic is upon us—and something must be done.”.

Negativity in the workplace is brutal. I’m not even talking about the normal culprits like gossip or ineffective managers confusing ‘accountability’ and ‘scaring their employees.’ That’s a part of it — that’s certainly negativity in the workplace — but it goes beyond that to overall employee engagement, which is somewhere under 20% globally and has been for much of the past three years per Gallup.

Why do organizations put such little value on loyal customers? Why do we not look at the lifetime value of a customer and see the profit they provide? Why do organizations treat existing customers so poorly? Surely the economics shows us all the error of our ways. We all know it costs less to keep a customer than it does to acquire a new customer. According to the author of The Fusion Marketing Bible Lon Safko, few companies even know how much they spend on marketing for new customers—or the pri

Research indicates that, if you want people to listen to you, you typically need four elements taking place: That’s: Authority, or your knowledge and expertise in an area. Empathy, or your ability to connect with others. Collegiality, or your tendency to collaborate and stay transparent.

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.

When working with companies on developing customer-focused growth cultures, I often get asked about this idea of a company core values list. It seems that every company has a core values list, but oftentimes the words used are similar — and they can be words that mean many different things to different people.

Just over four years ago, I wrote a blog post called “ Who owns Customer Experience ?”. The purpose of the post was to attempt to establish the best ‘place’ within the business to ‘house’ the Customer Experience professionals. Ultimately, the purpose of the article was to argue that customers experience the business cross-functionally, and as such can be influenced by all or any of the functions of the organisation.

We’ve spoken a lot on this blog about the value of customer-initiated feedback and how this is the only way you can truly get to grips with what your customers really think about you. Undiluted feedback from empowered consumers in free text format is the key to an optimized CX.
