In the much-cited book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman he talks about how the brain works to create two selves, the experiencing self and the remembering self. The experience self is one that lives in the present whilst the remembering self is “the one that keeps score, that maintains the story of our life”. Based on our memory of an experience and our life it is a different entity to the experiencing self.

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.

This week I gave a keynote at the Customer Experience Professional Association (CXPA) Insight Exchange in New Orleans. As alway, it was a great event; there’s almost nothing better than a group of enthusiastic CX professionals! We’ve come a long way since we had the first CXPA event at Fenway Park in 2011.

If you work in customer service, chances are you know the signs of a complaining customer.
You might recognize them by their pointed tones, their defensive, often raised voices (over email or live chat, this may present itself as all caps writing), and their creative use of insults. You may recognize the way they hold up the line at checkout, the way they demand to speak to management, or the way a look of disbelief plants itself on their faces when they hear that what they are asking for simply cannot be done.
Nobody likes a complaining customer, yet it’s something that every organization has to deal with. What businesses are increasingly realizing, however, is that despite their bad rap, complaining customers are a lot more than just a stitch in your side – they are something that every company can and should learn from.
Here are the top 7 reasons why complaining customers are your best customers, and what you can do to turn dreaded customer complaints into golden opportunities.

When it comes to marketing technology, 2017 was a year defined by big data. For both marketers and retailers, the most influential technologies available were those that used customer – and even employee – data to improve experiences and make marketing smarter, more streamlined, and ultimately a more profitable venture.

Definition of Culture – The sum of attitudes, customs, and beliefs that distinguishes one group of people from another.
Corporate culture refers to the shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that characterize members of an organization and define its nature. Corporate culture is rooted in an organization’s goals, strategies, structure, and approaches to labor, customers, investors, and the greater community.
Culture is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, and written and unwritten rules that have been developed over time and are considered valid. (The Business Dictionary).

Outage management is a defining moment for utilities and thus provides a great way to reimagine the relationship between utilities and their customers. Absent an outage, most consumers don’t give a whole lot of thought to their utility company — flip a switch, and the expected happens.
