James Carville, political commentator and media personality coined the phrase, “The economy, Stupid,” for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. Carville was talking to the team at the time to help them focus on the key messages for Clinton’s campaign. The slogan resurfaced in the 2008 campaign as “It’s the economy, stupid.”. I decided that for people working in Customer Experience, we needed a way to stay on message, too.

By: Colin Taylor. The downside of a strong economy is low unemployment and job shortages. A strong economy doesn’t directly cause contact center attrition, but it does provide employees and agents options that may not exist in a weaker economy. This element of choice, though, will magnify any internal issues and challenges that may exist in your contact center which can contribute to staff attrition.

We all have our preferences as to who we trust when the pressure is on. This makes it even more important to keep those leaders on your team. Losing one great leader like that might be the equivalent of losing two or more of your average leaders.

We’re early in Customer Experience (CX) capability development, and I absolutely love it!

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.

It’s been a big year for Avaya, probably the most important 12-month period in the company’s long, storied existence. In January, Avaya emerged from bankruptcy with a newly listed stock (NYSE: AVYA); a balance sheet much lower in debt; a new management team; and a renewed focus. Thus, today’s earnings report was a milestone for the company and it was generally positive.

It is quite disheartening for a business to find out that a quiz average conversion rate is 5 percent. This implies that you convert only 1 subscriber out of the 20 people who take your quiz. You get 100 new subscribers only when 2,000 people complete your business quiz. Isn’t this number astounding for a small business? After all, SMBs neither have a sizeable website traffic nor social followers.

Holidays provide a great opportunity for companies not only to sell more to repeat clients but also to acquire new customers. Together with a great opportunity to gain, comes a big chance to lose customers in the holiday season if you offer them bad customer service. Customer service is almost always the first impression a customer will have with your company, so it is important to handle it the right way and not scare your customers away.

“Anyone who’s a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: Is it good? Does it give pleasure?” wrote the late Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef and host of the TV show Parts Unknown. Innovative service is a blend of these same two sentiments. As customers, we all want service that is good—meaning it successfully fulfills our needs or accomplishes the outcome we seek.

They might be giving it lip service, but that’s not the same as actually doing the work, understanding the customer, and designing a great customer experience as a result.

When I was kicked in the leg during a soccer match a while back, I didn’t think much of it. But it began to swell and, a few days later, my leg had swollen up incredibly. I looked like exactly one-quarter of Popeye. I limped in to see a doctor, and after she took a look and did some tests, she asked me to sit down. Then she turned to her computer and, in full view of me, began Googling my symptoms.
