Various studies of B2B customers show that more than 50% are not satisfied with the way in which brands market to them once they became paying customers. Similarly, more than 40% of marketers are not satisfied with the results of their customer marketing efforts, yet 90% of them believe that customer marketing is an important investment.

What does it really mean to “walk the customer experience talk”? Executive sponsorship is certainly essential, yet there’s so much more to it. An ironic byproduct of any customer engagement effort is that it intrinsically sets up expectations — externally and internally.

Among the many measures of U.S. corporate performance is topple rate, or the rate at which groups of leading companies in industries or market indexes changes over time. Multiple studies have found that the topple rate has never been higher and, as a result, increasing numbers of top companies face obsolescence. This reality is commonly caused by a company’s product or service losing relevance, but it can also be a consequence of customer experience offerings failing to match the changing times. Consequently, the digital component of the customer experience has never been more critical to success.
