“Time is money.” Never does that phrase ring more true than when you’ve wasted days going back and forth over email to coordinate a sales meeting or spent hours manually copying and pasting data between tools. As a sales rep, your focus should be on hitting your number, but oftentimes, you find yourself dealing with day-to-day tasks that take time away from what’s most important: selling.

Organizations cannot afford to be operationally driven. A Customer Experience focus is a necessity of survival in today’s hyper-competitive and disrupted retail market. That said, not every organization realizes this fact yet, which I find disappointing. I was talking to the C-Suite of a retailer (who shall remain nameless) about Customer Experience.

Product design is about cost-benefit analysis. How useful is something versus how hard is it to do. Here’s how I think of it: The cost-benefit analysis of features. Every type of feature can be identified as belonging to one of four quadrants: low reward and low effort; low reward and high effort; high reward and low effort; and high reward and high effort. .

There is a big challenge when measuring customer emotions as you are asking customers how they felt in an experience, as this is done retrospectively, a while after they had the experience. Many times, Customers don’t remember how they felt or, for several reasons, they don’t want to tell you. Using technology, you can now measure customer’s emotions in real time!

The following is an excerpt from Listen Or Die by Sean McDade, P hD. Ten-plus years ago, market research firms offered what was called customer satisfaction tracking, or CSAT for short. Usually on a quarterly basis, they would utilize large telephone interviewing centers for a week or two, calling customers and asking about overall satisfaction levels (usually not most recent experiences).

“When all customers are important…none will be.” – Syndrome from The Incredibles (slightly paraphrased) Are all customers worth the same to your business? No! But odds are, your CX program doesn’t recognize this. Which is odd, since other departments don’t have a problem with this concept. Sales gives higher discounts to some customers.

Are You Listening to the Canaries in Your Customer Experience Coal Mine? By: Colin Taylor. The call center or customer service department has long been call the ‘canary in the coalmine’ for its ability to provide early identification and diagnosis of problems and issues impacting the satisfaction of customers. Despite of numerous warnings most organizations don’t change, but rather convince themselves that ‘friction-less’ service is too difficult, expensive or just simply isn’t needed.

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.

For most call centers, service level is a very important KPI. It measures two parameters: 1) the availability of call center agents to assist customers; and 2) the speed with which agents resolve customer queries and concerns. Since any fluctuation in service levels can directly and significantly impact revenue, it’s understandable that call center executives are concerned with taking the necessary steps to consistently improve them.

In the early days of computing, storing learning data (or any other data for that matter) was not that organized and systematic. There was no centralized location for those data and they were scattered across different systems in different locations. Fortunately, this is no longer the case now. The arrival of advanced computer technologies and the cloud has changed this situation for good.

Even though there is so much that has already been said about quizzes, there are a plethora of things that make them ideal for the learning industry.

The role of a customer success manager (CSM) in the SaaS industry has become increasingly complex. As platforms themselves become more innovative and functional, and as customers become more well-versed in how these solutions impact their business, CSMs are faced with more questions and challenges than ever before. While working with customers takes a certain type of person with a certain temperament, there are also specific skills CSMs must work on and develop in order to be successful.

It may not change fast enough for some (“your estimated wait time is 27 minutes…”), but call center communication has come a long way, baby. Imagine having to write an actual letter, on real paper with a stamp and everything, to get an issue addressed. That is what customers did before the invention of our beloved telephone. Call center and now contact center tech has evolved greatly over a relatively short period of time, considering the dinosaurs and all.

From SEO to AO. Now, for those critical readers amongst us: true, influencing algorithms to get to the consumers is not new. We’ve all had to perform some Search Engine Optimization to keep afloat in Google’s sea of information. But the difference was that, with SEO we were still trying to affect humans in the end. If our fridge automatically buys new milk when the bottle is almost empty or if we tell Alexa to buy toothpaste, the algorithm could become the final decision maker.
