The Holiday Season often brings to mind the joy of giving and receiving, but not every gift hits the mark. Have you ever unwrapped a present that left you scratching your head, wondering if the sender really knew you at all? It happens more often than we think. Just like receiving a moldy fruitcake, customers often find themselves on the receiving end of experiences that feel disconnected, impersonal, and downright baffling.

By Jeremy Watkin and the CX Accelerator Community I’ve got a big trip coming up, and in preparation, I needed to check my flight itinerary so I could book a rental car and long-term airport parking. It’s at that point I realized that I never received an email from the airline after booking my flight. Nearing full-on panic, I was relieved to see that they had charged my credit card.

Customer experience is not a fad or a trend or a buzzy phrase. And yet, organizations often treat it like it is. They hang a banner, then ignore it. They announce it as an annual theme, then forget it by February. Or they simply talk about it without actually putting any rigor or discipline or even real goals to it. That’s why the foundational work of defining CX at your organization — through a CX Mission Statement and CX Success Statement — is so critically important to accomplishing real ch

It seems so long ago now that Lockdown Life has faded into some barely-remembered bad dream, but the global changes it triggered are still top of mind, especially the ongoing dialogue/debate about the relative merits of work-at-home versus work-in-office.

QUI QUESTION: Customer service is a performance art. Are you Oscar-worthy? Movie actors like Sandra Bullock, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson, and Keanu Reeves act to be happy, sad, scared, scary, or angry. Yet, we, as the audience, believe they are genuinely real. The actors may “act their part”, but they are so good that we, as the audience, believe they are real.

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.

When working to grow their business and revenue, companies often focus most (if not all) of their resources on attracting new customers. The problem, however, is those efforts are wasted if the new connections don’t stick. Customers expect (and deserve!) personalized, convenient, and fulfilling experiences. If a customer tries a new brand that fails to deliver on their needs—especially during the earliest interactions—they have little reason to support it.

Every year, this national sports association holds their annual pro championships. However, along with everything else in the world, the pandemic forced them to cancel the 2020 event. In 2021, the championship went forward but with many restrictions. By 2022, fans were starved for action. As a result, record numbers of attendees and, consequently, record-high inbound customer service volume were projected for the 2022 championships.
