Whenever I conduct research with customers on how they onboard users to their product, I’m always fascinated by how often the term “aha” moment comes up. Customers consistently say they want their users to get to their product’s “aha” moment, the interaction that fills their users with a feeling of delight and reveals the true value of the product to them.

Whenever I talk about Customer Experience with audiences, I begin by explaining that customers do not buy things rationally. Customers buy things emotionally and then justify the purchase with logic. Irrationality and data don’t mix. However, there are ways that people’s irrational behavior reveals a rational pattern in the data. Let’s take a look at actionable insights about people’s irrational behavior as customers and the importance of the human touch in a digital transformation.

Certain commentators in the customer service space have been predicting the death of the call center. While it’s true that channel preferences are shifting, it would be incorrect to conclude that the voice channel will be buying the farm anytime soon. In fact, as we’ve argued before, phone calls are still essential to the success of customer service.

By Colin Taylor. While working on a call center consulting engagement with one of the largest garbage companies in the country we encountered what was likely the most difficult customer I have ever experienced. We were working in a mid- sized call center and discussing their customers. The company serviced urban, suburban and rural customers in the city and many of the surrounding towns.

Contact center software and CRM software have been on a slow collision course for decades. It’s not hard to understand why: They both deal with customer communication so the boundary was destined to get blurry. Now that both worlds are increasingly cloud-based, the collision is accelerating. How can we make this more concrete? How can we figure out how far along the process is?

An illuminated “check engine” light is scary because it doesn’t offer any solution. There could be any number of reasons why that little beacon has been lit. For many, “check engine” may as well just say “car broken”—and that’s terrifying. The lesson is that our early warning systems are only as valuable as the responses they trigger. This is certainly true of the customer success health scores used to monitor the status of customers.

Many years ago, I worked for the president of a bank famous for aggressive bank acquisitions and rapid growth in the financial services space. The bank ultimately became the Bank of America and the president became the B of A CEO. Hugh McColl was famous for his swashbuckling leadership style, his brilliant strategy execution, and his sometimes irreverent style of communications, especially when the media was involved.

We’ve all worked with customers that have seemingly unrealistic expectations. You give them an inch and they expect a mile! However, losing them as a customer is simply out of the question.

Regardless of the scenario, here are 4 modern strategies for managing customer expectations…. 1) Do your very best to stay positive – When working with customers that act like you aren’t meeting the

It’s imperative in a time of high competition and demand that your contact center is in optimal condition. Much like ensuring that our young are safe from harm’s way, yet still have the freedom to explore and grow, contact center leadership must ensure that their departments are safe-guarded while still maintaining the capability to grow internally and externally both in service and in excellence.

Customer retention is the lifeblood of any savvy enterprise. It’s the only way to be successful in this customer-centered economy and ensure scalable long-term revenue. To retain customers, companies must make the customer experience better and ensure customers never stop seeing value from their product or service.

People like choices. They just don’t like choosing, at least not when there are too many options. However, if you give people the option of shopping where there are only two options or where there is a wide selection, people will nearly always choose to shop where there are many choices. Then, when they get there, they can’t make a decision and feel frustrated and disappointed about 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.

You can teach employees a slogan or a marketing soundbite, but what company culture truly is beneath the polish is the foundation upon which the company soars, or falls. It is what people feel about a company and how they talk about it when the cameras are off. It goes beyond the superficial, easily measurable items like work space, physical tools and pay.

Software is complex, which makes threats to the software supply chain more real every day. 64% of organizations have been impacted by a software supply chain attack and 60% of data breaches are due to unpatched software vulnerabilities.

Technical debt has become a widespread metaphor used to communicate the need for refactoring code — and it’s one that fills developers with feelings of dread. Ward Cunningham, one of the signatories of the popular Agile Manifesto who coined the term, compared it to financial liabilities — once engineering shortcuts are taken to release a product feature, debt is incurred and interest is paid in the form of a decrease in team productivity.
