Whenever I hear about an organization with a "chief customer officer," my first thought is, "well, shouldn't that be everyone's job?"
It really should, and maybe that will help what appears to be an increasingly dire situation. A recent study by Forrester Research states that the average customer experience (CX) is getting worse, not better. "The data also shows that trust in companies has dropped precipitously," according to a report in Marketing. The report urges companies to engage their employees more intimately with the CX process, and even make it "an internal disruptive force" within the organization, with plenty of corporate culture consideration. "CX teams have implicitly covered culture change in the past, but it’s becoming more enshrined in their roles. That’s because the CX skill set transfers well to employees."

Simplicity is a basic tenet of customer experience, but it is often overlooked in favor of a company’s outdated rules or procedures. Doing simple better means aiming for the fewest clicks (or taps) possible to complete a digital task, allowing a customer to easily talk to a human being on the phone if they need to, and writing legal terms and conditions in language customers can understand.

Context marketing gives you the power to understand your customers and offer them a truly personalized experience. It can help you deliver the right content or services to the right people at exactly the right time.
Organizations that market to customers in context of those customers' current and past interactions know exactly where customers are on the decision journey. More important, they can assess and figure out what might improve the customer journey and guide customers toward purchase.
