This is where emotional intelligence (EQ) emerges as a critical skill for CX professionals. Emotional intelligence, defined as the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one’s own emotions as well as the emotions of others, is the backbone of successful customer experiences.

In today’s busy, crowded world, good experiences drive loyalty. And with an endless variety of choices and never enough time, consumers will quickly move on if a business doesn’t provide frictionless, memorable, respectful, and — above all — human-centered customer service experiences. Yet, it’s easy to negatively impact CX with technology solutions that promise good service for lower costs, but end up falling short.

Did you know that over half of financial services consumers say they have low trust in their provider? And, of those consumers, only 34% of them would recommend their brand to friends and family. Financial services providers are tasked with a unique challenge. Since finances are such a personal part of our lives, consumers in the industry are the most withholding of their trust.

QUI QUOTE: Instead of giving incentives to your customers who fill out your surveys, offer rewards and recognition to your people who deliver service so GREAT customers rave about them on your surveys and social media. Customers pay for their experience, not your product or service. And it’s THEIR experience, not yours. Customers seek the best emotional value in their experience.

I love seeing amazement in action. I was at the airport last week with a friend who accidentally spilled his soda. Within moments, an airport employee came over with a bucket and mop to clean up the spill. My friend apologized for making a mess, and the woman’s response surprised both of us. She said, “My name is Laura, and it is my pleasure to clean up your spill.

The concept of ESG has had its place in the business world for a couple of decades, but it is only recently that it has become mainstream. One of the more complex aspects of upholding the standards a company values is ensuring its vendors are similarly committed. This holds especially true in the world of outsourced customer service, where your vendor is literally representing your brand and your values.

In the world of customer service and technical support, a significant challenge often goes unaddressed: the visual gap. This gap represents the disconnect between customers and service agents, where words fail to convey the full picture of an issue or solution. Without visual assistance, customers struggle to describe technical problems or product statuses, and agents are left to navigate these challenges “blind” without seeing the actual issue.

What if I told you that a satisfied customer could ruin your business? Most people think satisfied customers are happy and will come back. At least, it appears that way. Many years ago, I used to begin my customer service keynote speeches with a question: By a show of hands, how many of you believe it’s important to satisfy your customers? As you might imagine, just about everyone raised their hand.

With impending interest rate cuts later this year and beyond, the time is now for financial institutions to optimize their tech stack. History has shown that when interest rates drop, it sets off a chain reaction in the market. Consumers rush to secure mortgages, explore refinancing options, and seek alternative financial products. When the time comes, those who are digitally prepared will capitalize on the influx of consumers seeking new mortgages and refinancing deals.

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.

I was talking to a friend the other day. He purchased an expensive new car just eight months ago. Unfortunately, the car turned out to be a “lemon,” and he has taken it back to the dealer multiple times for various problems. The car has spent more time at the repair center than in his garage. If it were me, I’d ask the dealer to replace the car. Apparently, he has more patience than I do and was giving the dealer another chance to fix the car.
