Event planning is an adventure, to say the least. Locking down the venue, getting people registered, promoting it across channels, working out the logistics… the list goes on and on. Before you know it, the day arrives. Even if it goes off without a hitch, the event doesn’t end when the clock strikes 12. Success is more than a day-of checklist.

Touchpoints aren’t what they used to be. There was a time in our history when touchpoints were…finite. We could list them easily and agree easily to what they were. The list might have 5-6 things on it for a sophisticated organization.

Customer Experience as an industry is at a crossroads. As I have written before , the results that we should be seeing are not there. It’s time to put up or shut up. If we as an industry do not turn it around, we might see our budgets and headcounts reassigned somewhere else. In our recent podcast, we had a guest Bob Thompson, CEO of Customer Think Corp., an independent research and publishing firm focused on customer-centric business management and the founder and editor-in-chief of CustomerTh

Too often in my early career, I ran into a similar scenario like this. It’s Thursday afternoon and your CMO or VP calls you up and says, “Hey I need you to target a new segment of customers and start the new campaign we’ve been planning, to them before the weekend.” Panic might set-in as you realize, well crap that segment is not a true 1-to-1 pull and the weekend starts tomorrow.

A large part of a successful social media strategy involves monitoring metrics and analyzing the performance of your posts. As Facebook is the largest network with 1.55 billion users, it is often the first site brands turn to. Thankfully there is no shortage of Facebook analytics tools to help maximize its potential. Some of these tools offer analytics for multiple social media sites, which makes sense when 91% of brands have multiple social accounts.

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.

Inflammatory words and an aggressive tone heat up an interaction like an oven heats up a room. The five biggest mistakes I see customer service professionals make when talking to upset customers are: Aggressive tone – A direct or authoritative tone will quickly lead to an escalation in aggression or to a supervisor. Making threats – Spitting off, “Calm down or I can’t help you” will assuredly not make a customer calm down.
