Customer experience teams are having a tough time, and the pressure is mounting to prove business value of a customer experience (CX) team in 2020. And unfortunately, the proof is not “in the pudding” as one might say. Confirmit’s survey, which polled over 800 CX professionals globally discovered just the opposite – the number of CX teams receiving significantly increased investment is declining, dropping from 22 percent 16 percent in just the last year.

Marketing’s goal used to be pretty straightforward: build a pipeline of qualified leads to hand over to the sales team. The model changed a little bit depending on the audience and the vertical, but essentially marketing material and actions, from awareness level to consideration, were used to build a pipeline.

Understanding customers, discovering and managing their behaviours have been hot topics in marketing for a long time. However, customer experience is still a new notion to many. Today, different companies sell almost identical products at the same price level. This state of play creates a question. If the price and quality are almost the same, on which criterias do the consumers make their decisions?

I recently read a report showing that out of 46,000 shoppers, 73% used multiple channels to make a purchase. Only 7% shopped exclusively online, while 20% shopped exclusively in-store. I believe this is clear proof that there is an increasing need for retailers to turn to omnichannel retail to enhance the customer experience.

Customer experience personalization is powerful stuff. It can transform a generic customer interaction into one that will leave the customer engaged and enthused about doing business with your company again. There are two reasons that a personalized customer experience is so powerful: practicality–the empirical value to the customer of having an experience tailored to who they are and what they’re looking for–and psychology: the warm feeling that flows over a customer when they are properly recognized and catered to as an individual, rather than as part of the teeming mass of consumers.
