I have said this over the years, and recently, several of my podcast guests have also discussed it: there is an ever-increasing need to think of employees as customers as well, i.e. internal customers. Retention rates in major companies have been dropping for years, for a variety of reasons: more flexible work options, people pursuing their own ventures or teaming with startups, bad management, etc.

Have you ever lived through a major renovation project or lived through construction of a house or condo? I say “lived through” because it can be harrowing, on a #firstworldproblems level for sure, but harrowing nonetheless. First of all, selecting the right shade of gray or arguing with your spouse about 1-inch or 1.5-inch tile becomes exhausting.

I don’t want to discuss my next book too much, as we’re currently doing some planning and development work around it, but — as you would probably guess — the theme is customer experience. We’re going to spend a lot of time in the next book discussing the pros and cons of specific experiences, both good and bad. You may see a company one day go through a total customer experience/PR flame-out (United Airlines is a recent example, or Volkswagen) and wonder to yourse

I’m getting calls from very well-meaning business leaders lately. They are well-versed in many areas of business. Perhaps they were in marketing, or technology or operations. Or maybe they were responsible for the learning and development of thousands of employees. They have credentials and experience and are viewed as leaders of change in their organizations.

By nature, I’m an organized person. I like things clear and orderly, laid out in black and white. So, some years ago, as a new senior manager, I asked my boss to explain what my responsibilities would be after a company reorganization. I wanted to know, with absolute certainty. But my boss just looked at me and said, “Colin, in a senior position you need to deal with ambiguity.”.

Many organizations measure their Customer Experience (CX) in the wrong way. Chances are, you are too. So, what is it? How are you inadvertently thwarting your efforts to improve your CX? It is how you measure it and it’s one of the fundamental failures of many CX programs. Measuring is a critical part of any effort to quantify progress (or failures) when you have a goal of improving your CX.

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.

There is an old joke in the dental world that a patient asked his dentist, “Which teeth should I floss?” The dentist answered, “Only the ones you want to keep.” Customer Service is the same. All customers are good customers. Okay, maybe not all. Every business has customers – or should I call them former customers – that companies choose not to do business with.

How committed are you to your present employer? Are you wild about what you do or simply content in your position? Do you hate your job or are you ambivalent? It’s an important set of questions to consider. How you feel about where you work has a lot of influence on the job you are doing there. This concept becomes even more crucial when you become a manager and assess your team—especially as it pertains to how they work with or on behalf of customers.
