I’ve always been intrigued when I hear customer success professionals refer to customer experience as customer success.
A lot of that has to do with the fact that customer success professionals believe customer experience is a subset of customer success. Customer Experience professionals, on the other hand, believe customer success is a subset of customer experience.
The Customer Experience vs. Customer Success debate has been an interesting one.

In recent years, inbound marketing has seen a boom in popularity. Businesses of every shape, size, and industry have started adopting the inbound methodology to attract visitors and turn contacts into clients. Unfortunately, the final step of the inbound methodology—delighting customers—has been talked about quite a bit less than other topics, such as writing a killer e-book or organic keyword rankings. But that’s all about to change.
As more and more brands turn to inbound marketing, the competition will grow only fiercer, making it even more important to focus on a positive customer experience (CX). After all, if a customer has a negative experience with your brand, what’s stopping them from turning to a competitor that can offer them the same services and content? By focusing on customer success and support, organizations will be able to increase the lifetime value of their current customers, decrease the cost of acquisition for future customers, and turn passive customers into enthusiastic promoters.

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.

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.

For the past several years, we've been telling our clients that by 2020, providing a seamless customer experience will be more important than price or the product itself. Most consumers are willing to pay a few more dollars or sacrifice minor product features for the simplicity of a well-constructed, thorough customer experience. Today's customers gravitate toward companies that not only recognize their problems but provide a simple solution and personalize their experience along the way.

B2B companies know that it is harder than ever to influence customer experience (CX) in the digital age. An influx of channels, easy access to information and influencers, and an increasing desire for personalised, consumer-like experiences has blurred traditional purchasing paths and empowered B2B customers to independently make buying decisions before engaging with company representatives.

I don’t want to be a buzz kill, or the bearer of bad news, but if you’re just setting out on a customer experience career journey, understand that it is not for the complacent, nor the satisfied. This is the career for those who must motivate themselves and others to constantly and consistently top what has been done previously.

Every industry strives to improve their customers’ experience with their products and services. Adopting a customer first strategy is therefore in many company objectives. Unfortunately it rarely goes beyond the theory in many organisations, so I decided to help out with these six suggestions.
Hospitality is perhaps one of the most visible industries where customer satisfaction, or lack of, is quickly shared with the world. It is true that without satisfaction, customers will not return to a hotel or restaurant. And they will almost certainly share their (bad) experiences with anyone who will listen.
