It is a widely accepted fact that a happy customer is a returning customer. Someone who has enjoyed your service (in-store or online), product, and price are more likely to buy from you again and more importantly recommend you to their friends and family.

Organizational value silos are found in all sizes and shapes of companies. Initially, silos are created and nurtured by business and hiring models which categorize people into functional roles based on how they solve problems. Then, these silos are perpetuated by problem-solving tools, mindset, and terminology “owned” by the professional disciplines inhabiting these silos.

For every business, customer loyalty is a hard-earned wealth. Loyal customers would not only choose your brand over others every time, but they would also spread good word-of-mouth for your business and become your brand advocates. They would speak excitingly about your brand and attract more customers for your business. That’s the best kind of marketing if you ask me.

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 year into using your technology when it’s time to discuss renewals. Or, maybe, something as simple as scheduling issues resulted in weeks of missed meetings. However customers go dark, it is often the CSMs responsibility to rein them back in and get them back on the path to success.
