Remember that time you had a truly amazing customer service experience that you just felt the need to tell the world? Trust me, that wasn’t by accident. In a report by American Express, 86% of customers were happy to pay higher prices when guaranteed exceptional customer service, whereas in a report by RightNow, 82% of customers were willing to leave a brand due to bad service.

A big part of charging more, earning more and attracting more customers comes down to trust. Can your customers trust you to reliably provide what they want? If they can, they will buy from you. If they can't, they won’t.

Emotions are a huge part of the customer experience. Emotions drive or destroy value for a business, and often in hidden ways. Emotions influence our desire to buy or not to buy, what we choose from a company’s offerings, what we remember and share about the experience, and, perhaps most importantly, whether we will be loyal to a brand.

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.

It's no surprise that greater employee engagement leads to better customer experience (CX). It makes intuitive sense and data proves the point. The Temkin Group, for example, has reported that companies with stronger financial performances and better CX have employees who are considerably more engaged than their peers. Not as well-known, though, is that superior CX requires more than general employee engagement.

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!

No company wants to receive complaints about its products or services, but when this does occur, it is important that the firm gets to the bottom of the problem.
