I’ve always been intrigued when I hear customer success professionals refer to customer experience as customer success.
A lot of that has to do with the fact that customer success professionals believe customer experience is a subset of customer success. Customer Experience professionals, on the other hand, believe customer success is a subset of customer experience.

Of the 7.5 billion people in existence, nearly 51% have access to the internet. That amounts to around 4 billion people who – as a whole – conduct a whopping average of 1.2 trillion searches per year. In other words, competition for online traffic is FIERCE. Businesses are up against a huge pool of competitors and are therefore obliged to find innovative ways of winning over the attention of their target audience.

There’s been a subtle shift in the way people spend over the last few years, and this looks set to continue in 2018; consumers are now spending more money on experiences over a quality of product and it is the experience of a brand or product, rather than the quality, which is building brand loyalty.
This shows us that it’s no longer good enough to merely provide a fantastic product. The internet is making it much easier for consumers to ‘shop around’, and as a result, they are becoming much savvier about where they spend their money. That’s why it’s vital you give your customers no reason to look elsewhere by making every experience they have with you a good one.

I write this post to not just sound the alarm, but to stimulate some useful discussion about why CX is failing, and what to do about it.
To start off, I’ll share what learned from a discussion with Paul Hagen, a former Forrester CX analyst now head of Customer Experience & Innovation Strategy at West Monroe Partners. Like me, he’s worried about CX’s future, wondering “when with the term go away” as executives “focus on the next shiny object.”
