Your team can spend days crafting the perfect customer journey, but if only some people on your team can see the most recent interaction with the customer, how can your perfect customer journey come to fruition? When customer touchpoints across different channels are not in sync, customers can get inconsistent information – particularly over email, live chat, and social media.

A successful organization operates in much the same way as a prestigious orchestra. Both are made up of individuals with a specialization—say, playing the clarinet or managing a Customer Success team. While individual success is important in both cases, you also need overall harmony. Just as the individual musicians and sections of an orchestra must work well together to make good music, the employees and departments of an organization must work well together to do good business.

The digitization of business has created a customer-centric economy, and people switch services until they find the solution that suits them. So when you get the customer’s attention, you have to maximize every conversation and engagement to prove you are the right partner to nurture their long-term growth.

They will send a snarky review where they outline their experience to everyone on the Internet. 2. They will ask for a refund. At this juncture, you will certainly not expect a mellow reaction from the customer when they feel they have been wronged.

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.

In retail, there’s a somewhat clear separation between two main marketing strategies: Product-Driven and Customer-Driven. They differentiate in focus; Product-Based marketing centers communications around items purchased, their availability, and their usability. Customer-Based marketing is using data-driven customer- segments to determine the most effective communication.

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.
