There is no such thing as “today’s consumer” – and that is a great thing. The travel and hospitality industry, for instance, serves a wide range of customers looking for a tremendous variety of experiences at a range of price points for different travel purposes. They simply can’t be lumped together. The same is true of consumers generally. When businesses step away from this type of generalization, it allows for better focus on something more productive: individualization. What approaches and practices will help them best understand their customers and tailor their offerings to satisfy their unique needs and preferences?

Customer experience has become an oft-repeated phrase in business circles. You would think that, by now, CX ratings would be through the roof. To be fair, some reports indicate there already have been huge gains in customer experience. But, you may be surprised to learn that CX overall is no longer on the rise. At least that’s the word from the ACSI and Forrester (News - Alert).

Simplicity is a basic tenet of customer experience, but it is often overlooked in favor of a company’s outdated rules or procedures. Doing simple better means aiming for the fewest clicks (or taps) possible to complete a digital task, allowing a customer to easily talk to a human being on the phone if they need to, and writing legal terms and conditions in language customers can understand.

More than ever before, customer experience is now defined by digital interactions, with the majority of consumers now relying on email, SMS, web chat and social media to communicate. Research has shown that customers now use three or more channels when reaching out for customer support, meaning that if your organisation fails to offer these services, they risk losing out on vital business.

How? Simply by using two words which should be stricken from every business leader’s vocabulary – “back office.”
This is a term that many executives throw around without regard to its influence on the culture and mindset of their organization.
Here’s the issue: Creating a work environment that supports customer experience excellence requires getting everyone in the organization to view their role as a critical part of the customer experience equation. The moment employees start to feel that their work is invisible to the customer, they then lose appreciation for the impact their role has on the customer experience.

Companies are putting more and more effort into identifying and addressing the trials and tribulations customers encounter when interacting with them to create the best possible buying and use experience. Referred to as customer experience (and often abbreviated to CX), it’s inclusive of the customer’s journey from initial brand awareness to purchase, the customer’s interactions with the brand’s many touchpoints prior to and during use, and the environments the customer encounters during use of and interaction with the product or service. Brands find the greatest success and differentiate themselves from competitors by focusing on delivering an effortless experience that ensures each of those touchpoints and experiences are consistent and contribute positively to the customer’s overall journey.

There’s been some debate in the customer experience community about how to keep CX vibrant and as beneficial as possible. As part of that discussion, there was some disagreement around how to build momentum for a CX program. Should you try to tackle giant, very meaningful initiatives first to completely embed CX as an imperative for your business or should you start slowly, build momentum and grow your program steps at a time? After trying it both ways with multiple companies and with different teams, I’ve come to believe in the “crawl, walk, run” approach. Here’s why:
Attempting to tackle giant initiatives requires people, resources, money, time and most of all … patience. Some leaders can create a vision, dedicate resources to it and be comfortable waiting for successful outcomes.
