The phrase Customer Experience (CX) didn’t become en vogue until 2008 when it surpassed Customer Satisfaction as the primary customer-focused keyword. . Rather than just satisfaction , customer experience refers to the whole ecosystem of the customer journey. From the first experience, customers have with your website, to the last time they pay you—it’s all encompassed under the large umbrella of experience. .

Running an effective and efficient procurement process for a contact center partner is easier said than done – even for seasoned indirect sourcing professionals and folks in the C suite. It’s not unusual for the process to take 12 to 18 months from discovery to go-live with significant time and budget required along the way. And we have seen deals with the successful bidder derailed by details in the eleventh hour, setting the buyer back to square one after more than a year of effort.

Customer experience, in all is complexity, really is about one thing to your customers: Expectations. Think about your own journeys as a customer. Have you ever been disappointed? Most likely, your story starts with a “They promised me.” and ends with a “They just refused!”. Consider the classic Jerry Seinfeld scene where he and Elaine show up to get a rental car and there’s no car there for them, even though they had reserved the car.

I’m all for getting customer feedback. There are different ways to go about it. Ask customers on the way out of a store, call them on a phone or send follow-up surveys via email. I wrote about surveys a few years ago. The gist of that article was about getting more customers to fill out those surveys. Two areas were covered: timing (when the survey was sent) and length (how long it takes customers to complete).

When customers receive a survey by email, what’s the first thing they notice? The survey question? The response options? The branding? No, it’s actually the email subject line that determines whether or not they’ll find the message interesting or engaging, and open it in the first place. Taking into account the survey fatigue, coming up with efficient subject lines that will actually get the door open is quite a challenge.

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.

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.
