The West seems to have a rather fascinating obsession with the individual. We write our addresses starting with a person and expand out until we get to a world view, which makes little sense when you consider that anyone functionally using that address must read to the end to even know where to start. This is a pattern we see in many things — from the way we tell stories to the way we design infrastructure and services. So naturally, it's through this lens that brands often solve customer experience challenges.

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.

Customer experience is a key driver of business success. From social media analytics to specialized software, there are hundreds of tools devoted to measuring it. But which of these tools are actually important to understanding customer experience? And how does customer experience ultimately affect your bottom line?

Consider the Porsche. Sleek and beautiful, you know it’s a great car the minute you see one. Yet the real beauty lies in what’s under the hood. That’s where the power comes from. That’s what makes it a performance vehicle.
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.

I just came back from hosting the CXPA’s Insight Exchange and talking all things customers. Of course, I tended to hang out in the customer journey mapping sessions. While the practice is maturing, there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
In the spirit of sharing best practices, we at Heart of the Customer put together our Top 10 Reasons that Journey Mapping Projects Fail, a la David Letterman.
Without further ado, let’s proceed!

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.

After Voice of the Customer (VoC), nothing is more closely associated with Customer Experience Management (CXM) than a customer journey map (CJM).
By creating a visual depiction of the steps that customers take in an experience, including how customers feel after interactions, CX leaders can diagnose problems and design new experiences for the future.

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.

What do my customers want? The savviest executives are asking this question more frequently than ever, and rightly so. Leading companies understand that they are in the customer-experience business, and they understand that how an organization delivers for customers is beginning to be as important as what it delivers.
