When our waiter flagged us down by the door, I assumed we had left something behind or forgotten to sign the credit card slip or something. My husband and I were walking out of a restaurant with our two boys, who were 9 and 12 at the time, while on vacation in Florida several years ago. I was so surprised when our server made such an effort to stop us to say that he appreciated how polite our boys were. “Please’s and thank you’s aren’t very common anyway, but especially

If you have been following my work, you may remember something I refer to as The Loyalty Question. It goes like this: What am I doing right now to make sure the customer comes back the next time they need whatever it is we sell? Most people think customer loyalty is about a lifetime. That’s a pretty big goal—making a customer stay for a lifetime. But if you break it down into smaller parts—as in the next time —it becomes much easier.

We’re now much more attuned to seeking the “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) than we were back when our only method for receiving customer feedback was the impersonal and often inefficient contact center. In the years that accompanied the rise of online commerce, social media and webchat, we’ve all learned that a customer feedback process that was dependent on a single support channel for customer insights was ultimately a process that wasn’t actually capturing any true insights at all.

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.

The API integration linking your contact center and your customer relationship management (CRM) tool shouldn’t be holding you back. But for many businesses, it is. API integrations are lines of code that connect two or more applications, like your CRM and your contact center. The problem is that many API integrations facilitate the bare minimum when it comes to data sharing and functional app connectivity.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.
