Two contact center leaders recently contacted me about the same issue. Their contact center was getting overwhelmed with volume. Each faced multiple risks and worries. Long wait times increased complaints. Irritated customers were at risk of leaving. Overwhelmed contact center agents were at risk of quitting. Staffing alone isn't the solution. It's hard to find and train qualified agents fast enough.

I’ve had a lot of conversations in recent weeks about how the employee experience drives the customer experience, but the part that stands out from these conversations is the common thread: that the customer experience only happens via, or is only shaped by, the frontline employees. That is just not true. When I’ve addressed this latter point, I’m always asked, “Well, then how do I connect the dots for the backoffice folks?

by Patricia Ballantyne. Most organizations have mission and vision statements. Typically, the Mission Statement refers to the company’s purpose, or the reason why it is exists, while a Vision Statement refers to what the organization aspires to be. Even with inspiring mission and vision statements, a gap can exist between the statements and the culture that is actually experienced as you cascade down through the organization.

With advances in online communication, and the court of public opinion that social media now provides, brands and their customer service faux pas are more exposed than ever. Underserved and angry customers can easily take to Twitter, Facebook, or any number of digital channels to publicly ‘out’ companies like yours for falling short, especially when it comes to your product or customer service offerings.

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.

Customer experience exists whether you are intentional about it or not. After all, your customer is experiencing the brand via every interaction, touchpoint, service call, and delivery. The customer walks away with a perception of what the brand is, and whether or not this brand lives up to its promises, with every step along their personal journey.
