According to McKinsey, 75% of online customers expect service within 5 minutes – and successfully delivering that requires an effective technology foundation. The right CX platform is a critical part of that foundation. On premise, off premise, in the cloud – there are so many different options companies face when building a CX stack. Let’s take a closer look at what on premise cloud is, how it can support your CX technologies, and the steps you can take to maximize its effectiveness.

You’re overhauling your systems and looking for solutions to streamline how your business runs. Your goal is to make the jobs of your employees easier and find a way to wow your customers and improve their overall experience. You know you need a better quoting and proposal system, but you’re wondering, What is CPQ, and Is it right for me?
Think about the last time you went to the grocery store or out to eat at a restaurant. Did you quickly check your receipt before cashing out? Most likely — consumers want to feel confident they’re paying the correct amount when purchasing goods or services. You wouldn’t want to be overcharged, and you certainly wouldn’t want to leave the building without what you ordered. The same goes for your prospects and current customers. They want the process of purchasing from you to be streamlined, and most importantly, correct. It’s important they trust your sales team’s estimates, and they understand that if a mistake does occur, it can be fixed quickly and in real time.

As you think about your experience management (XM) efforts, it’s important to understand how people flow through the experiences in their lives — as customers, employees, patients, fans, citizens, students, etc. To help deepen that understanding, I’ve created a simple model, the Human Experience Cycle (HxC). As you can see in the chart below, the HxC is made up of five elements:
Expectations: What a person anticipates will happen during an experience.
Experiences: What actually happens to a person during an interaction.
Perceptions: How a person views an experience based on their expectations.
Attitudes: How someone feels about the organization.
Behaviors: How a person choses to interact with an organization.

Every industry strives to improve their customers’ experience with their products and services. Adopting a customer first strategy is therefore in many company objectives. Unfortunately it rarely goes beyond the theory in many organisations, so I decided to help out with these six suggestions.
Hospitality is perhaps one of the most visible industries where customer satisfaction, or lack of, is quickly shared with the world. It is true that without satisfaction, customers will not return to a hotel or restaurant. And they will almost certainly share their (bad) experiences with anyone who will listen.

When trying to improve a customer experience, most people automatically look at the conscious, rational side of things. Do customers have to wait too long in line? Is the price too high? The selection too small? Are problems and complaints being addressed in a reasonable amount of time?
These things are important, but they’re just one piece of the customer experience puzzle. All customer experiences also have a subconscious aspect that dramatically affects the way a customer feels about a company.
The Hidden Customer Experience
In more than 20 years in the customer experience field, I have learned that customer experience is based far more on emotions than on rational thought. Negative emotions like frustration and anger can destroy a customer experience, whereas positive emotions like gratitude can improve it. And while these emotions can be driven by conscious, rational factors, they are more often a result of subconscious influences.

For companies, customers engage because you bring them something wonderful, something they want. When you do, they expect a certain level of service behind it, an excellent end-to-end experience.
