Employee engagement is a key driver in delivering great customer experiences. Without a dedicated and engaged workforce, customer complaints increase, loyalty decreases, and the company is less successful.

How does your organization utilize the journey map? As the framework to consistently drive company focus that lines up your customer listening, improvement, and planning efforts? Or are the silos still promoting their internal processes as a “journey”? Lesley Mottla was part of the management team that developed Zipcar’s award-winning customer experience and technologies.

If your customers think you deliver an “average” service experience, there is NO shortcut to getting them to become emotionally engaged, loyal, zealots of your brand. Don’t get me wrong. A well-designed service improvement initiative MIGHT result in a temporary spike in satisfaction scores but won’t produce sustained traffic or protracted revenue increases.

Do you nudge your customers? Most businesses do, whether they know it or not. A nudge propels a customer toward the behavior you want – whether it’s purchasing a product, signing up for a subscription or making a repeat visit to a retailer. The theory behind a nudge is that positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions can change people’s behavior at least as effectively as rules and instructions.

In other words, can the CMO also be the CCO?

Conventional wisdom says that a product priced at $99.99 will seem less expensive than a product priced at $100. Researchers have also found that a precise price, like $99.37, is more believable and appears to offer a greater value than a round price like $100. Based on this, you might conclude that round prices – the ones that end in zeros – are always a bad idea.

We’ve talked before on this blog about the need to be a customer-focused CEO. But since CEOs are often the major decision-maker within an organization, it’s important to understand the decision-making styles of customer-focused CEOs. Because the C-Suite as a whole tends to make dozens (if not hundreds) of decisions in a given week, having an understanding on what specific decision-making styles make for leaders with a stronger customer focus is going to be helpful as you grow your ow

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.

Honoring “Customers as Assets” connects volume and value to customer experience ROI and growth. Your goal as CCO is to unite the leadership team in delivering one-company customer experiences and connecting the delivery to business growth. This will require the removal of survey score addiction and a shift in leadership thinking. The pivotal leadership shift occurs when you simplify the “why” behind this work so that leadership can stand behind it and communicate as their own.
