Access to information is key to the success of any customer service team, whatever channel you use. But for this success to happen, this information can’t be siloed. For your company to thrive, your departments and the teams that comprise them must be on the same page at all times. For customer service, that means collecting, centralizing, and sorting important information into a well-crafted internal knowledge base.

The last time you looked up product reviews, which ones did you notice first, 5-star, or 1-star? Also, how many 5-star reviews does it take to offset a 1-star review? Probably more than one.

This is a crazy idea, but hear me out. When I was a kid, we had home-cooked meals almost every night. I thought my mom was the greatest cook in the world. She could make the best chicken. As a matter of fact, she made chicken almost every night. It turns out she could follow a recipe and had bought a book that had 365 chicken recipes—one for each day of the year.

Field service delivery is undergoing a transformation. This paradigm shift has effectively taken the “field” out of field services, with the industry focused on servicing customers in the most efficient way possible. What does this mean for the future of field service? The result of this shift is an explosion of remote service delivery. Gone is the traditional model of technicians dispatched to a customer’s location, toolbox in hand.

Three Root Causes and Their Solutions. At Decooda, we believe that underperforming CX programs have three distinct root causes: 1) Lack of Strategic and Structural Alignment. 2) Misunderstanding the True Voice of Customers and Employees. 3) Little connection between the Employee Experience and Customer Experience. For example, why do businesses still support siloes between Customer Experience (CX), Data, Digital, Employee Experience (EX), Enterprise Technology, Human Resources, and Marketing?

The shopping season is about to arrive, and now is the time to be planning. According to Salesforce , “Cyber Week digital traffic is still expected to grow by 28 percent year-over-year (in 2020) — a trend accelerated by nearly ubiquitous access from mobile phones and the fact that fewer people will be rushing to stores on Black Friday.” . One of the best ways to profit off the holiday season is to offer sales and promotions during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Customer Experience (CX) Marketing and Customer Experience Management operate in silos: both organizationally and technologically. As a result, they utilize different sets of customer data, making it difficult to measure and communicate customer needs with the timeliness, authenticity, and care required to create raving fans. The danger is real. Gone are the days when businesses could rely solely on their products and services to differentiate themselves.

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.

Are clients reaching out to you about making hard calls? Mine are. Because their businesses are in trouble. And future sustainability appears uncertain. Thus you serve them in ways which may make you both uncomfortable. Because making hard calls involves having “those” conversations, together.

AI (artificial intelligence) customer service tools weren’t designed to replace your agents. They were designed to help your agents deliver a better customer experience. Nothing can truly replace positive, meaningful exchanges between two people. But when the interactions between your customers and your agents are filled with repetitive questions, long holds, and awkward pauses, the human connection falls to the wayside.

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.
