Oscar Wilde’s famous quip shapes my marketing philosophy, “There is only one thing worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” One of the reasons the brilliant quote rings true is because of the concept of Priming. When you bring attention to things, it influences how people act upon them. Priming activates some part of our mind, and that’s enough to produce this response out of us.

As CX practitioners, we work to uncover the Voice of the Customer (VoC) and use it to drive our company to improve. We combine qualitative and quantitative methods to understand what customers need and communicate this to the rest of the company to ensure we remain relevant to customers. But if you’ve ever worked within a B2B company, you […].

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.

Today, numerous studies echo this sentiment: a recent report from Forrester found that brands with a superior customer experience bring in 5.7 times more revenue than their competitors. And a recent study from Deloitte found that two-thirds of customers will switch brands entirely due to a poor customer experience. Customer expectations are higher than ever, and this acts as a forcing function, inspiring companies to think about their customers’ entire journey from acquisition to onboardin

Maya Angelou, the poet and civil rights activist, said it best: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”. That’s a universal truth, but one businesses forget about at their peril. The feelings customers take away from an experience with your company are far more important than any “response time” metric.

The ultimate convenience. One of the big differences between East and West is that the latter is a lot more siloed, with different companies, offering different things, via different interfaces. The Chinese, though, who immediately leapfrogged to mobile technology, have a much more integrated approach. For instance, they offer commerce in a social media context.

We need to better understand shoppers. Why? Because retail is in crisis. Investment in brick-and-mortar stores has declined 30% in the US and a staggering 50% in Europe. In the UK 50,000 of the 500,000+, high street stores are empty , that’s a whopping 10%. But that level can even be higher, double or triple that in some parts of the country. The government in the UK upped its rescue fund to a billion pounds and slashed its rates in the hope of lowering rents last year.

It is essential for a company to understand the behavior, opinions, and needs of their customers to provide the best service possible. A business’s relationship with its clientele is a foundational necessity, and just like any other relationship, if one side does not understand the other, the partnership is destined to fail. By measuring customer experience, companies can easily become more educated about customer behavior and opinions.

Who are your favorite companies, and what makes you brand loyal? People typically answer this question based on how well a business understands and meets their needs. Buying decisions go way beyond price as we often pay a higher cost to shop at a particular place. Consider coffee, for example. Customers, including me, spend triple the price at Starbucks compared to other local coffee shops.

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.

Onboarding is defined as the actions your company takes after a customer signs up to use your product. These actions are crucial to customer success, as they will set the tone for your client-brand relationship moving forward. A successful onboarding experience can lay the foundation for a loyal lifetime buyer, while a negative experience can push your new customer directly into the hands of a competitor.

When you bring attention to something, it influences people’s behavior. For example, The food and household goods supplier in the UK, Tesco, was recently accused of profiteering by raising the prices of a yeast extract spread called Marmite. There was quite an uproar about it in the UK. You would think that this would mean sales of Marmite would go down.

In the modern SaaS world, sales is often considered the flashiest and critical of departments across organizations.

Customer success departments were truly put through the ringer this year, with some teams dealing with an incredible amount of uncertainty, change, and, unfortunately, customer churn. 2021 Customer Suc

Check out the photo of this bearded iris in my side yard. Poet John Keats reminded us that “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” I have a friend who grew up in the U.K. His two favorite superlatives are “beautiful” and “brilliant.” And, his labels have little to do with prettiness or with smarts, but everything to do with awesome.
