However, they did this several months ago and suddenly customer retention is starting to dip down again. What happened?

All companies want to build products and deliver support that delights customers. But there’s often a disconnect between what business leaders think customers want and what customers actually need. Using intuition or instinct to guess what customers need rarely works. Many businesses do just that, since about 85% of new products in the U.S.

With 100 million users since being unveiled last November, ChatGPT is certainly the chattiest chatbot in the long history of conversational bots. Indeed, it’s already being talked about in the same terms as the most transformative communications innovations ever invented. Sure, Gutenberg’s printing press or Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web changed the course of human history, but nothing has ever had quite the immediate impact of OpenAI’ s groundbreaking ChatGPT.

Expansion – not simple renewal – is the ultimate indicator of a successful customer. There’s a way to handle expansion (upselling, cross-selling, land-and-expand, etc.) that results in limited, incremental growth in customer account value.

VoC — or Voice of the Customer programs — helps businesses learn more about their consumers’ wants, needs, and preferences. While most VoC efforts start strongly, many tend to lose their traction over time— especially if the program isn’t properly implemented or the company becomes complacent. The good news is that there are still ways to get VoC programs back on track.

Finding Empathy In Customer Experience It’s easy to assume that empathy is one of those things…we should all know it, feel it, and share it. Just typing that sounds like a better world, a world in which we understand our fellow humans better. So the term empathy gets tossed around a lot in customer experience. But what do we really know about it? First, let’s define what we’re talking about when we discuss the need for empathy.

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.
