They say that there’s very little these days that everyone agrees upon, but I—of course—do not agree with that sentiment either.

In our last post, we discussed three common pitfalls companies encounter in their customer journey marketing (CJM) initiatives: little support from the C-suite, a short-sided view of the end goal, and limited customer perspective. On the flip side, we’ve seen first-hand that companies are doing transformative and innovative CJM work. Those companies even call CJM their superpower.

Contact centers are big on analytics. The main reason companies measure things like their call-handle time, first-call resolution, and internal quality management (QM) scores are to improve customer satisfaction. Although these metrics are valuable, they are internal to the organization, and they may or may not affect satisfaction. So, how do you know if customers are pleased with their level of service?

In life, each of us interacts with people who think we’re the greatest thing ever or the least impressive thing they’ve ever seen. In our daily interactions, we get feedback — some subtle, some not-so-subtle—that indicates what people think of us and whether or not they agree with our dress choices or driving decisions. We’re constantly learning what we’re good at and where we may want to consider our life choices and make a change.

What comes to your mind when you hear the words “good customer experience”? You might think of something simple like a well-designed video that helped you understand a product better. Perhaps, you will remember a conversation with a support rep where he/she understood your problem perfectly, and helped you resolve it in no time. Or, maybe, you will recall a sweet gesture from your favorite restaurant where they offered a complimentary steak on your birthday.

Are you thinking the same as me? Facebook is not what it used to be – or at least my perception of what it was. Instead of being a company that I admire with a customer centric and open culture it now appears that the inherent culture of Facebook is one of non transparency which chooses to manipulate their customers and their data. Furthermore, I believe this could lead to their downfall.

We used to get so excited to talk about the Voice of the Customer (VoC). It sounds so appealing to really hear the customer in their own voice, to understand their intentions and understandings. But too often we turned this exciting idea into a program of surveys that led to metrics that led to discussions about metrics that led to…not the powerful changes we expected.

It’s every company’s worst nightmare: customers are standing in line to pay, frustrated and angry when they can’t because the payment system is down. The point of sale (POS) is the most critical stage of the customer journey. It means the company has done everything right, the customer has pulled out his wallet and is prepared to part with his hard-earned cash.

There are many ways to listen. People listen with their eyes, and with their hands (remember the movie: A Quiet Place ). Listening is a central process in the way people survive. If you are not actively listening, critical information is missed. In many cases, the actual words selected do very little to communicate the speaker's intended message. We must reach below the surface to capture the truth.

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.

Survey reporting isn’t a prescribed formula. You need a way to present your findings in a meaningful way that caters to the audience at hand. To do so, many marketers create a presentation and a report. A presentation can provide need-to-know insights in a quick, informative way.

Because we have frequent thunderstorms and power outages in my Florida home, I recently decided to buy an uninterruptible power supply for my electronics. I’ve had good experiences with Apple products so I first checked to see if Apple made that sort of thing. They didn’t, so I set about comparing and contrasting the models that were available. I quickly got lost in technical specifications, so I decided that I would choose based on how long the power supply would last.
