Creating a new product category also creates a plethora of challenges – from spotting the right market niche to convincing customers that yours is a service they need. If people aren’t looking for your solution, you have to educate them about the problem your product solves. You also need to evolve and adapt at a greater pace than more established peers.

You turn on the news, and the newscaster says, “There’s a lack of confidence in the stock market,” which we know means that the market is about to drop. However, confidence is a feeling. It’s not an actual physical thing, but, apparently, not having it can be costly for your net worth. . The question becomes, are we talking ourselves into a recession?

Think about the last time you lead brainstorming to improve your customer experience (CX). Did you give people Post-It Notes and have them shout out ideas while they put them on the wall? Doing that is a ton of fun. But it’s also a terrible way to develop ideas. So, stop doing it. You reply, “But […].

Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

Are We Talking Ourselves Into a Recession. You hear it all the time on financial media. “Consumer Confidence is low.” It describes how people think that something terrible is going to happen to the economy, and it affects their spending behavior. Confidence is a feeling, not a fact or a physical item. However, this emotional reaction has serious implications on the economy, as well as your bottom line.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

Marketing is an old profession. It’s been around for hundreds of years in one form or another. But w ith the advent of digital in the early 80’s, companies began taking a serious look at their marketing strategies. Many organisations realised that it was time for a major overhaul of their primarily outbound strategies. Consumers no longer appreciated being interrupted in their daily lives, if they ever did!

People often hear the word ‘bots’ and immediately think about some dystopian science fiction flick they’ve seen where robots ultimately take over the world and usurp humanity. There is still a lot of misunderstanding and miscommunication in the marketplace about bots, and artificial intelligence generally, which explains in large part the resistance some people have in adopting bots for their lives and businesses.

Customer churn is an important metric all businesses need to measure. While it may not be the most satisfying metric, it allows your business to identify – and hopefully improve – your customer attrition rate. Your customer churn rate shows how many customers have ceased services with your company and abandoned your brand. Of course, it’s important to understand that customers can leave for any number of reasons. .

In business today, everyone is looking for an edge – the next big thing. Sometimes, however, the answers are right in front of you. Take for example, sales and marketing. Does this sound familiar? Sales Manager: “Marketing is not giving us the sales enablement tools we need.” Marketing Manager: “Sales isn’t using the tools we create for them.” Here’s the reality: for a company to succeed, sales and marketing have to work together.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

In the day-to-day business dealings of a Customer Success Manager (CSM) and customers, the main interactions are typically with end users, project leads, or decision makers. Executives from either side of the relationship are rarely involved in onboarding or implementation conversations unless there is a very good reason. That being said, sometimes executive involvement is necessary to move projects forward or overcome roadblocks throughout the customer journey. .

The move towards Contact Centers as a Service ( CCaaS ) and cloud-based systems mean that solutions don’t have to try and be a one-size-fits-all platform. However, since a full contact center rip-and-replace is not only time consuming, but expensive, many customer support organizations are still using more traditional contact center platforms. These systems rely on voice and IVR as the main forms of communication.

In a customer-centered economy, where a lot of revenue growth occurs within the established customer base, churn is a big problem. Customers grow more valuable over time, so you must keep them happy and interested in renewing. Still, dissatisfaction can creep up on any customer relationship, especially if you don’t communicate the value of your product regularly.
