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.

Gathering customer feedback and incorporating the data you collect as part of your marketing process will empower you and your team to drive effective strategies and resonate with audiences beyond your normal reach.
One of the most challenging aspects of marketing is identifying which initiatives and levers will reliably reach your intended audience and customer. Blindly following trends or making assumptions about what your customers want is a surefire path to failure.
To reach your audience, you must first understand them. One of the best methods to accomplish this is asking questions and gathering information, and then using that to tailor your approach. By choosing instead to listen and learn, you'll not only start to develop better campaigns, but you'll also foster genuine goodwill. Apparently, customers like when you listen to them. Who knew?

As a product manager, you need customer feedback at every stage of the product development lifecycle to inform your product decisions and help you establish a foolproof product strategy.
Before you even have customers, feedback can be incredibly valuable to you. Before a single line of code is written, feedback from real people can help you validate your concept, size up the market, and estimate potential demand. Before shipping your product, feedback can validate whether you’re actually solving the problems you set out to solve and help ensure your product positioning and messaging are effective. As soon as your product has been released out into the wild, customer feedback can help you not only find bugs and technical issues, but also navigate those difficult “what should we build now?” decisions and prioritize your product roadmap as effectively as possible.
