A few years ago, I stopped most of my consulting. The decision wasn't made lightly. My latest book, The Service Culture Handbook , was taking off and I was receiving more inquiries than ever before. But something gnawed at me. Most clients weren't getting the results they wanted. Not just my clients. Companies that hired any customer service consultant were struggling to see any gains.

I often think that, if chemistry was taught as haphazardly as customer service often is, there would be a lot more unintended explosions in the classroom. There is a huge amount of misinformation and misconceptions on the skills, behaviors and mindsets for creating outstanding customer service. Shaun Belding | www.beldingtraining.com.

Brands used to look for a vendor who could do everything. Over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, and they added, added and added. Now they need all their vendors to work well together. That’s composable, and only some will make the cut. As customers — and your board — expect you to be in new channels and to rapidly adapt to shifts in the market, the need for true composability is more crucial than ever before.

With businesses reopening after COVID-19 closures, US economist Mark Zandi asserts that retailers benefited significantly from the reopening economy. Moreover, retail spending is expected to increase by 19% this year. These predictions represent significant opportunity for retailers. That’s why it’s more important than ever to have a superior customer service strategy — that includes ensuring your retail contact center operations are optimized for a smooth customer experience.

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 state of shock, instead of launching into the reason for the complaint email , my friend asked him, “How are you?

B2B CEOs, boards, investors and senior leadership teams typically squander tremendous earnings and growth opportunities by putting the cart before the horse in their views of customer experience-driven growth. This may be more prevalent among newer companies, but it’s generally universal. Your mindset about customer management overrides your values and mission statements.

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.

It’s a common misconception that customers who raise complaints do so because they have nothing better to do, or worse still, because they are looking for a way to gain free or discounted products and services. The truth is that most customers who lodge complaints do so because they are at their wits’ end — and just want their issue resolved. Today, customers expect organizations that operate online to have a presence on at least one social channel — and most likely across several.

Knowing how to get customer feedback can be tricky. First, there is the challenge of getting customers to share feedback. Customers who are upset will often spread their displeasure to others without ever telling you, while those who are satisfied may keep it to themselves. Even when you collect customer feedback, it may be gathered through different channels, stored in different data silos, and never coordinated and analyzed in an organized and actionable way.
