The onset of COVID-19 has accelerated a digital transformation in the healthcare industry, resulting in changes to how patients receive care and how medical records are stored and processed. From healthcare providers to insurers and others, the pandemic is rapidly driving organizational change and prompting businesses to consider future needs by adopting new technologies to replace or assist with historically manual workflows without compromising on care or privacy.

Domino’s helped me survive college. My school had a deal with the local Domino’s franchise where you could use your meal plan to order a pizza. The meal plan even covered the delivery driver’s tip. It was way too convenient for a student who was strapped for cash. To say I ordered a lot of Domino’s was an understatement. I ordered A LOT of pizza. And when I wasn’t ordering Domino’s, my friends were.

We’ve all heard about customer satisfaction. But have you considered the impact of your agent satisfaction? It’s more important than ever to pay attention to your staff and motivate them on the daily. Yet less than 30% of contact centers track this metric, despite its direct impact on standard industry KPIs. If you don’t know the state of your agents’ satisfaction levels, it can be difficult to create positive change.

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.

In a year when retailers have been forced to innovate with fewer customers in-store (and sometimes none at all), curbside pickup has been an excellent way of still generating sales while keeping customers and workers safe. Our own survey in 2020 found that 40% of shoppers had used curbside pickup during the pandemic. As the world starts to roll out vaccination programs, towns and cities are opening up, brands will want to start bringing customers back.

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.
