Does your customer service software help you measure customer expectations? Understanding the relationship between customer expectations and customer satisfaction is crucial to business success. Companies must grasp, understand, and manage customer expectations effectively in order to deliver experiences that meet or exceed them. When they do, businesses can use that momentum to enhance customer satisfaction, build stronger customer relationships, and drive business success.

AI is rapidly becoming a critical tool in customer service. While initial conversations now focus on improving chatbots with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, this is just the start of what AI can and will offer. AI will streamline, augment and, in many cases, automate the customer experience and improve customer satisfaction. Getting there will require a broader perspective on service.

In fact, several companies, ranging from media to finance, are already investing in an omnichannel customer experience to boost their sales and revenue.

For many years, there has been a stranglehold “Profits over People” mentality for healthcare leaders. These “Profits over People” traditionalists care about their hospital’s labor, research, and equipment costs, Medicare reimbursements, pharmaceutical companies’ payments in cash and in-kind gifts, and their patients’ payments more than they do their patients.

Effective customer communication is vital for the success of any business. After all, how will clients know about your business and its offerings? Companies also communicate with customers to share product updates, resolve complaints, gather feedback, and provide customer service. If that communication breaks down, customer engagement will drop, and they’ll likely take their business elsewhere.

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.

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.
