For many software engineers, the end-user experience is considered a key element of the features they develop. A number of studies conclude that businesses understand the importance of prioritizing customer experience to remain competitive, so this approach to development aligns well with these business goals. A recent Gartner study shows that 89 percent of brands believe customer experience to be their greatest differentiator. To manage against these expectations, software developers have always used tools and methods to control the programs they write, flagging areas of concern via configuration options or flags.

In today’s times, it is imperative that organizations deliver great customer experience. To be able to provide a customer experience par excellence, brands must regularly collect customer feedback in order to learn what’s working and what’s not working for the customers. Subsequently, they should make effective use of the feedback and work on it to improve the overall experience.
In a world where almost everything is just a few clicks away, customers are becoming increasingly impatient when it comes to resolving their concerns. In such a scenario, using a manual feedback collection through paper forms would seem archaic. Customers would lose trust in the brand because of the delay in processing the feedback and closing the loop on it.

There are many places you can go wrong in constructing and delivering a customer satisfaction survey that can keep you from getting an accurate picture of your customer experience. And most companies do go wrong in their survey design and delivery–often in multiple ways. (Alarming but true: If you send out a defective survey, it might be worse than not surveying your customers in the first place, because of the risk that the data you get back will be invalid but nonetheless used to guide company strategy.)

It's not a question. Digital customer engagement and service is on the rise. Customers are of the hope that businesses will in day’s to come, implement digital channels to solve service issues and complete transactions. According to Zendesk, 70% of customers expect companies to have a self-service option in their websites and 50% expect to solve issues concerning products or services themselves.
The key to keeping the human element in digital customer experience is legitimacy, and implementing a true people-centred core whereby all dealings are individual.
In the past, companies have been looking for customer interactions in product planning and selling viewpoint, with little focus on who the customer was. Keeping the human element entails concentrating on long-lasting relationships and genuine partnerships with customers. Companies that focus proactively on creating lasting relationships that align with the customer’s goals have better results and outcomes.
Here are a few ways to humanize the customer experience.

When it comes to the retail customer experience, creating and developing a seamless CX isn't just a focal point for the big brand names and national retailers. It's also a must for the smaller and mid-size retailer.
Yet oftentimes the SMB retail operator doesn't have a tremendous budget or internal resources to take on the crucial CX effort and it can sometimes fall into the cracks within the day-to-day operations of running a small retail shop.
But as one expert shares, that doesn't have to be the scenario as developing a rewarding retail customer experience doesn't necessarily equate to spending thousands, hiring on staff or contracting out for services.
One of the best, and quickest, approaches is understanding that a customer experience does not end once the purchase transaction has ended, according to Pam Slim, author, consultant and small business expert.

Data is only as valuable as what you do with it, and Voice of the Customer (VoC) data is no different. In a world where a superior Customer Experience (CX) is now viewed as a key competitive advantage, leveraging VoC as part of your Customer Experience Management (CEM) efforts has never been more important.
Naturally, you must take a customer-centric approach to your CEM efforts, otherwise you run the risk of designing an experience that doesn’t meet their needs, and that places you behind the 8-ball compared to your peers. You need to better understand how your customers think – what makes them interact with your brand the way they do, and how they feel about the experiences you provide them. These insights go a long way, but what exponentially increases the value of this customer feedback is how you leverage these insights as part of your CEM to build better experiences for your customers.

Customer experience is about being able to lure in new customers through impeccable customer service, but the experience also keeps current clients with a business.
You want to use the customer experience to maintain your current client list.
Attention to detail is the key most important thing when trying to formulate a customer experience plan. Small businesses have the advantage here because attention to detail is easier when teams are smaller and relationships with clients are more intimate.
