Are you sending out CX (customer experience) surveys days or even weeks after the customer interaction? If so, have you considered what the consumer’s experience of that might be and how that impacts on their perception of your brand? Or have you thought about some of the great opportunities the delay in your process precludes? Do you wonder what impact the delay has on future survey engagement or worse, customer loyalty?
These are some of the questions I cover in this post. The importance of capturing feedback in real-time should not be underestimated, particularly if you want to impact CX on an individual customer basis. While it is relatively easy to achieve in an online environment, it is much more challenging in a brick-and-mortar context, so I will offer some ideas on how to do it at the end of the post.

Having an online business is not everything unless you are improving your user’s experience when they visit your website. Whether it is redirecting them from a certain link or creating web pages that are easy to find, you’ll have an easy time creating emotional connections with users.
But how do you create emotional connections with users? How do you help them aptly respond to issues and provide feedback? Through a digital customer experience management system. It is a program designed to help you understand how customers interact with your brand online.

Get customer experience right and profit will follow. That’s the conclusion of a survey by Hotjar of 2,000 CX professionals published in November 2018. Only 12 percent of respondents regarded their companies as being mature when it came to customer experience.
“Customer experience leaders prioritize delivering an outstanding experience over everything else (yes, even over revenue),” the Hotjar survey states. The leaders focus on current customers, rather than obsessing about potential ones. They allocate a regular amount of time every week to make calls, meet for coffee or find out about the support issues of their customers. They follow the Golden Rule of customer experience: “Treat customers how you would like to be treated.”

For startup founders, passion for your business comes naturally. But customer service? Sometimes, not so much. While it is easy to obsess over every product or service feature, businesses need to prioritise building relationships with their customers from day one.
This is critical in the overall success of a business, given a product is only as good as the customer buying or using it says.
That said, cultivating a relationship with your customers can be difficult. At the heart of it all is being committed to listening, as awkward and painful as some customer conversations may be. This will help you gather invaluable feedback to build a product or service that truly meets their needs.

By 2020, customer experience (CX) will overtake price as a key product differentiator. While there are many ways to improve CX – ease of use, innovation and speed are just a few – personalization has recently been found to be the #1 priority for organizations looking to improve their customer experience.

By 2020, the customer experience is expected to overtake price and product as a key brand differentiator. In other words, people will soon care more about how a company treats them than what they purchase or how expensive it is compared to competitors.
Amazon, one of the kings of customer service, recently discovered that two-thirds of Prime members would be open to trying a free online bank account from the e-commerce powerhouse. That figure is significantly higher than the 43 percent of regular Amazon customers who said they would try the service, indicating that individuals who enjoy premier experiences are more willing to consider future initiatives.
customer experienceAs marketing leaders examine how their experiences nudge audiences to the point of purchase, they must look beyond their customers to the people who deliver those experiences: front-line employees. Regardless of how great your new product or service might be, customer expectations and reality will clash as long as your team members fail to embrace your core message.

Customer experience management (CXM) has become a new and pressing topic of discussion for CMOs across the globe – regardless of industry.
CXM is all about ensuring that a business offers a great service to the customer across its different touchpoints.
It may therefore sound obvious to state CXM must be audience or user-led, but surprisingly many businesses still believe they’ve got a handle on it by relying on their own viewpoints and opinions only.

Competitive product quality and price aren’t enough anymore. There’s no mistaking the fact that customer experience (CX) is a focus as a brand differentiator. According to a worldwide survey by Salesforce, 79 percent of consumers prioritize CX just as highly as products or services when doing business with a company. If that isn’t enough, according to 67 percent of respondents, their expectations are the highest they’ve ever been.

Customer experience (CX) professionals have it so easy today. In the past we relied on surveys as our primary source of customer insights. Now with so many options for connecting with customers, CX professionals have it made!
But can so many options actually make it more difficult? How do you keep track of the options? How do you determine which are best for you? How do you pull everything together into one cohesive voice?
On second thought, maybe today’s CX professionals have it harder than I thought.
