Missing such a mark can often mean losing market share that can be next to impossible to regain. However, getting the equation right can be transformative to a brand. Indeed noted management consulting firm McKinsey & Company noted in a recent insight piece that brands that can improve the customer journey see revenues increase as much as 10-to-15 percent while also lowering the cost to serve 15-to-20 percent. How? New trends leveraging technology are making such achievements possible.

Some companies think digital transformation is about efficiency—saving time and money, beating competitors to market, and wooing customers with fancy apps and tech bling. They’re wrong.

Knowing CX is everyone’s job. Think back to the last time you had a fulfilling customer experience. Can you even remember?

What if your company was the one who rose to the top—exceeded expectations—provided a seamless web to mobile experience? You’d instantly rise to the top of your industry.

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.”
