Your product or service is not going to be right for everyone. And just because you can sell a customer your solution, doesn’t mean you should. But where do you draw the line on customer fit? When is it OK to push your selling boundaries? And how do you know when you’ve gone too far?

Research from CustomerThink, Forrester, Pointillist, and the XM Institute agree: Few CX programs can prove that their work matters to business outcomes.

Surveys have long been the backbone of getting to know customers. They’ve been seen as a relatively easy and inexpensive way of collecting feedback—and for the most part, they are. But the ugly truth is, sometimes traditional surveys can be long—and let's be honest—boring.

When starting a company, finding the right customer service tool isn’t always at the top of the priority list; you’re more focused on getting customers and proving out your idea.

It is one of the most common questions I’m asked in interviews: What’s the difference between customer service and customer experience (also known as CX)? While I’ve written about this before, my original article about customer experience was more about how to create a more interactive experience.

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.

Maybe it’s a towing service. Perhaps you use an interior designer. It could be that you needed to outsource your call center. Whatever the reason may be, you have outsourced part of your Customer Experience. There is an inherent risk involved, of course, if there are problems.
