You are not powerless in the face of churn. There are almost always indicators that a customer is going to churn, which means that if identified early, a good Customer Success team can mitigate the risk and execute a successful recovery plan. Some churn is inevitable no matter what business model you employ, but it does not just occur randomly. Think of churn like a risk that can be negotiated like any other. .

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.

Is customer service dead? Absolutely not! . Customer service is not dead, but it is changing. Part of that change is that we now look at the broader concept of customer experience, which is that overall journey a customer takes with a business or brand. However, customer service is still an integral part of customer experience. It is a subset of customer experience and often one of the most important parts of any experience because it is often the part of the experience that is the make or break

Last year, on January 3rd, I went to my favorite lunchtime restaurant. I remember the date, because it was my first restaurant meal of the new year; it was also the last time I ate at that restaurant. I never went back in 2019, and in that lost business is a customer service lesson for all organizations. A Cold Sandwich and a Cold Shoulder. I’d had a succession of bad meals and bad service the year before, many of them concentrated in the last few months of the year.

It’s been said, it’s not “what you know, but who you know.” I take that wisdom a bit further to say, it’s not what you know or who you know, but what you know about who you know.
