A customer-centric culture is the “make or break” component of any customer experience initiative. It was great getting to let loose on this all-important topic alongside Ryan Floersch of Gladly during our recent CXPA webinar. We discussed all kinds of ways to begin working toward an enhanced culture, or (if you’re lucky enough to have the beginnings of it in your organization already) how to accelerate the positive momentum you’ve already garnered.

1 in 4 Will Lose Their Job in 2020. At the end of 2019, global research firm Forrester predicted that 1 in 4 Customer Experience jobs will be cut in 2020. While we find this prediction grim, we do not disagree. We believe that this reality has been on the horizon for some time now. There are many reasons why it has come to this point. One of the most significant is a misconception about what Customer Experience is and how it affects the bottom line.

We are living in a world where customers have the megaphone. That’s actually been one of the most wonderful forcing functions: when finally it wasn’t about who we said we were; it’s about what employees and customers say we are. And these employees and customers talk about three things: Did you do what you said you were going to do? Did you improve my life?

I worked at an advertising agency for just over a year. (A year and a day to be exact.). Here’s how our typically engagement worked: The client would provide a brief. We’d quickly get to work on it, far out of sight from the peering eyes of our client. And when we were ready, we’d deliver our ideas to the client, much the way a grand meal is presented on a silver platter at a fancy restaurant or state dinner.

By Peg Ayers. Not everyone wants brave employees in their contact center. Subservient employees are less trouble to manage. The status quo works for them. They never argue with management decisions. They keep their suggestions to themselves. In short, an unmotivated manager wants employees who don’t rock the boat. But what is the customer experience in this scenario?

Engagement is a two-way street. Are you operating that way? Your team is effective and efficient, notifying customers about the status of their order, taking calls and answering emails, and responding quickly to urgent matters. That’s to be expected, but it’s not enough. To grow your business rather than keeping it flat, you have to create a compelling, conversation-based engagement strategy with your audience.

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.

Satisfaction is practical. Delight is emotional. That is the big difference in the customer delight vs customer satisfaction divide. One achieves what was expected, the other delivers additional value. Customer satisfaction is the process of achieving goals and consistently delivering the value you promised. Customer delight, on the other hand, is the “wow” factor.
