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.

#NoBullshitCX #20yearsFuturelab “Numbers don’t take decisions, leaders do.” One of our clients is very numbers oriented in their CX approach. Whenever we discuss their Voice of the Customer (VoC)results, they want to look at all possible cross-sections: by segment, by brand, by day of the week that their customers birthday falls on, you name it. I am obviously joking, but it represents what we often get at companies: the more numbers, the better.

Have you ever come across the Abilene Paradox? It’s when everyone agrees to do something that no one really wants to do. Jerry B. Harvey coined “The Abilene Paradox” based on a family incident. They ended up driving 50 miles each way across the scorching Texas desert to Abilene for dinner, even though none of them wanted to go. They all thought everyone else wanted to go, so they reluctantly agreed.

The immediacy and convenience of live chat has catapulted the technology into a go-to support channel for consumers and an essential tool for businesses. Gone are the days when customers could only get slow and often frustrating support via email or phone. And far gone are the days when agents had little to no information about the customer they were speaking to and were restricted to serving one user at a time.

A Case Study of a Dysfunctional Culture Nick Wallis writes a story that should be a work of science fiction. Like Jurassic Park, he takes a ridiculous premise but then plays the idea through in a totally believable way. Nobody could recreate the dinosaurs, but good fiction takes a bizarre proposition and makes the outcome plausible. Likewise, no Chief Executive would allow her organisation to wrongfully prosecute and imprison innocent contractors and employees.

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.
