In today’s Internet-driven world, customers have more power than ever.
If customers have a positive customer experience, they will share this experience with friends, family and connections, which in turn can lead to new business. All at zero cost.
But what happens if you fail to provide a positive customer experience?

Predicting the future is tough, so we decided to talk those who are shaping it. Dave Fish, founder of CuriosityCX and Michigan State University visiting lecturer partnered with Brian Keehner of the Michigan State master of science in marketing research program to interview more than a dozen of the sharpest technology minds from global enterprise feedback management firms to get their take on the future.
What are some of the big strategic bets the major players are making in the CX space? There was quite a bit of agreement, but also some noticeable divergence on the vision for the future. That spanned from data collection and ingestion, all the way to how to help clients take action. Here are the six key discussion points from our conversation.

Customers play a very important role in any business. They determine the growth potential of the company by sharing a better picture of what’s working and what’s not. Therefore, entrepreneurs should not overlook the importance of customer service. Your business will surely fail if you are unable to meet the needs of today's customers. The service can actually vary from company to company, but the key elements to turn customers into longtime clients are timely responses, open communication, reliability and product knowledge. One should never underestimate the importance of happy customers!

Many would say Toys R’ Us failed because of financial mismanagement and delusions of grandeur. That’s true.
But it also failed because it didn’t value the opinions of its customers. It didn’t listen to what customers wanted quickly enough, and by the time they acknowledged the problem, it was too late.
Customers needs and wants were evolving with technology. They wanted speed and accessibility online. They wanted great customer interactions and experiences in the stores, and they wanted an emotional connection to the brands they support.

Customer feedback plays an essential role within organizations, allowing you to obtain invaluable customer data and adapt the delivery of your customer experience accordingly.
Today, almost all companies are conducting customer feedback surveys in order to gain a better understanding of how their customers view their business, products, and services, as often the customer journey as a whole. But the fact is that the CX feedback you’re basing key decisions on, could well be misleading, inaccurate, incomplete, or just plain wrong. It’s not that your customers are lying to you or not ‘coming clean’, rather, the feedback you do get is not giving you the complete picture.

Bad or non-existent customer service is proven to cost more than sustainable customer experience management practices. Just look at the statistics:
+After a bad experience with a company, 22% of consumers decreased their spending and 19% completely stopped doing business with a company.
+ Compared to detractors, promoters are 4.2X more likely to buy again and 5.6X more likely to forgive a company after a mistake.
Sound impressive? It does to me. But in spite of this data, only 11% of large companies have strong customer experience programs, and 62% of companies cite inaction on customer experience (CX) metrics as their key problem.

If you are not focused on receiving and using customer feedback, you are missing out on an amazing growth tool. Gathering feedback throughout the entire customer journey is of great importance to the buyer life cycle, marketing campaigns and the entire customer experience. Integrating your CRM and customer feedback could be the secret to your success.
According to a recent study, 86 percent of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience. And by 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator. How do you get the best experience? By listening to the customer, of course.

As information becomes more available and for free, thanks to the Internet and social media networks, product differentiation in one category is becoming more and more difficult.
As a result, businesses need to focus on customer experience to set themselves apart from their competitors. Customer experience is defined as a series of interactions between a customer and an organization throughout their business relationship. The interaction begins from the moment the customer hears about the business all the way to making a purchase of the product or service.

GDPR may be one of the hottest topics in the business world today, causing many organizations to rethink and revise how they approach many of their everyday practices.
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, aims to increase the protection and privacy of personal data, also known as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), for all EU residents.
In the age of the GDPR, consent and managing individual’s rights are crucial. Because of this, Voice of the Customer (VoC) research may become an even more important source of data and insights to marketers wanting to understand better and improve the Customer Experience (CX).
In this post, we look at why.
