There's something amazing about being served by an employee who loves the brand they represent. My wife, Sally, and I experienced that recently at the Dr. Martens store on Newbury Street in Boston. We walked in the store and Sally quickly zeroed in on a pair of shoes she liked. Scratch that. Loved. "Aren't those great?" asked an employee as she approached Sally.

It is really disappointing to new employees that the first day of orientation is spent on defining the rules and restrictions, usually required by the legal department, that, if not followed, will result in termination. At the end of the day, someone is asking, “How was your first day at work?” You don’t want their answer to be, “Well, all I learned was what will get me fired.” While that information is important, consider the overall message you are giving new empl

It’s time to wrap up another year. 2021 was another strange, unpredictable, not-quite-back-to-normal trip. When it came to customer experience, leaders dealt with all sorts of changes and challenges. The introduction of vaccines led to some employees coming back to the office. And some swearing they’ll never return. Customers were able to pick out their produce again at the grocery store.

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.
