Many customer service employees automatically offer free or discounted food, products, or services when something goes wrong. Didn't like your meal? Here' a free dessert. Not happy with your car wash? Next one's on us. Shipment take too long to arrive? Get 20 percent off your next order. As counterintuitive as it might seem, freebies and discounts can make service recovery worse, not better.

Health services to the home. Today, we’re entering a new phase. More and more organizations are building their services around the customer, actually going to them. I find it extremely fascinating to see that the old model is now being turned upside down. Once upon a time, we used to get excited about getting “fibre to the home” (FTTH). Well, today, we’re going to see more and more “services to the home” (STTH).

“Customers perceive service in their own unique, idiosyncratic, emotional, irrational, end-of-the-day, and totally human terms. Perception is all there is!” Tom Peters. Customers are paying for their experience, not your product or service. They buy with emotion and justify that decision with reason. And customers seek the best emotional value for their experience, not your logical best price.

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.

Does this sound familiar to you? Your team sets out to map a new customer success workflow or process, but each person has a different way of doing it. You may prefer using sticky notes, while another team member likes slide decks and yet another prefers digital mapping tools.

To say the pandemic changed everything is an obvious understatement. As the pandemic eases and the way work gets done stabilizes, the work-from-home (WFH) hybrid model is a top choice for many organizations. Although the WFH hybrid model looks different for every organization, the success of the hybrid workplace hinges on organizations’ ability to balance the experience of in-office and remote workers with business goals and objectives.

With more people now shopping online, businesses must deliver high-quality digital experiences in order to stay competitive. While many businesses today offer general live chat or chatbots on their website, these channels are not reaching their full potential.

Keeping employees motivated is a challenge in every industry.
