I recently attended Forrester’s CXNYC conference. Forrester’s events are a great bellwether for the state of CX.

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.

Customer Experience. We had a reservation Friday night at a restaurant for 7:30. We arrived on time, if not a few minutes early.
