Good sales teams typically get the budget, headcount and tools they desire because the function is tied to revenue. Finance understands this intuitively, so they are inclined to support budget requests that will help teams close more deals. However, that’s not always the case for Customer Success (CS) teams even though they are often responsible for renewals and expansions.

Free is often an illusion. It looks free and may be advertised as free, but it’s not free. I’m not saying a company that claims something is free is lying. As consumers, we must be careful and understand the difference between what is truly free and what is perceived as free. And as businesses, we must be cautious about what we promise. Let’s use free shipping as an example.

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.
