I’m often asked how or where a company should start improving CX. While the answer may be a little different for everyone, it’s critical to start out right! However, very few leaders take a realistic approach. Consider this way-too-typical scenario: Marcus decides one day to stand in front of his employees and request in no uncertain terms how everyone needs to be more customer-focused. “Help customers love our company and brand more!

Walmart is debuting a towering new kiosk that makes it easier to pick up online orders in your local Walmart store. Early reviews of Walmart’s “pickup tower” give it a thumbs up. In about 20 Walmart stores, you can scan a barcode on your phone at the bright red 16-foot-tall tower in the front of the store. A door opens, your item appears, and you’re done.

The way we create and deliver customer experiences is constantly evolving in this rapidly changing space. Keeping up with customer experience trends is now an essential part of running a successful business. It’s moving from a “nice to have” to a “must have” department in most organizations. Those with or without customer experience in their titles are considering how their daily work impacts the customer journey.

Asking strategic questions helps you understand your Customer Experience (CX), determine a focus for your efforts, and deliver a successful CX outcome. However, one question is the most vital to success with your CX strategy, and it isn’t about them; it’s about you. Forget to ask it, and you can forget about delivering on your CX objectives. The question is this: How much do you embrace customer irrationality?

RyanAir, Europe’s largest airline, in my view are the epitome of a poor Customer Experience. Over the last few days, they have proven this yet again as the airline has begun cancelling hundreds of flights. Hapless travelers are stranded in far-flung cities or stuck at home when they expected to be on holiday. Ryanair announced last Friday that it would cancel 40-50 flights per day for the next six weeks.

How important is good customer support for your business? Is it a top priority for you, or happens to just another facet of your day-to-day business operations? It may seem like a no-brainer, but a surprising number of businesses have failed to deliver when it comes to ensuring that their customers are happy. And falling sales numbers are there to show for it.

When I hear an excellent, and genuine, expression of empathy from a company, I make a note of it. I’ll tell Siri to capture what I heard, or I’ll just type it out. I save ridiculously good empathy statements so that I can share them with my clients. In customer service workshops, like the one I delivered Friday in Columbus, I challenge my clients to use the empathy I’ve heard (and felt) to inspire them to come up with their own empathic responses.

There’s an old proverb that says, “Outward appearances are not a reliable indication of true character.” In other words, you can’t – and shouldn’t – judge a book by its cover. One of my favorite examples of this is from the movie Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. This classic movie from back in the 1990’s was about a wealthy man, Edward Lewis, on a business trip in Beverly Hills who falls in love with a prostitute, Vivian Ward.

I mention it frequently in my books , I’ve blogged about it, and all of my 69 guests so far on my customer experience podcast have spoken about the same concept. Getting companies and leaders to understand the importance of thinking holistically instead of channel-by-channel is a great joy of my career.

When you are making decisions, you carefully consider all the facts and factors that present in a logical and orderly process, right? Not so fast. You rarely make decisions this way—and neither do your customers. The truth is that psychological principles often influence the decision-making process; you might even say take over. But don’t feel bad that you didn’t know.

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.

What is the burning desire of every business? Increase market share through customer loyalty! What is the major cause of losing customers in an e-commerce environment? Unaddressed customer “pain points”. Pain points are the chronic issues (or even new ones) that have been unresolved for extended periods of time. Business analytics and data mining reports show too many customers signing out of memberships or walking out of websites, leaving behind full shopping carts.

You’d have to have been starved of internet access not to realize the Game of Thrones (or GoT for short) season finale aired recently.

Maybe due to the combination of this passion and my obsession for CX (not to mention a couple glasses of Dornish wine ), it suddenly hit me: the CX landscape is as complex and changing as the power struggle in GoT.
