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.

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.

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.

According to McKinsey, 75% of online customers expect service within 5 minutes – and successfully delivering that requires an effective technology foundation. The right CX platform is a critical part of that foundation. On premise, off premise, in the cloud – there are so many different options companies face when building a CX stack. Let’s take a closer look at what on premise cloud is, how it can support your CX technologies, and the steps you can take to maximize its effectiveness.

When you hear the term “intelligence”, some of the first things that leap to mind include super-secret governmental reconnaissance and AI (artificial intelligence) technology. Although CI (customer intelligence) seems like a completely different story, it bears a little bit of resemblance to the former, in a benign sense, and leverages the power of the latter as machine learning algorithms come into play.
CI meaning boils down to harvesting and analyzing information about customer behavior. It sheds light on the whys and wherefores regarding the events and trends in a company’s consumer ecosystem in order to provide the business with actionable insights for more effective CX strategies. Importantly, this concept isn’t only about collecting the relevant data, but it’s also about harnessing that information to understand the customer’s needs, introduce improvements, and derive better results.

Holiday shopping is known for deep discounts and big sales. Entire websites are dedicated to finding the best deals, but is continually slashing prices really a strategic move for businesses? Competing simply on price isn’t sustainable. Eventually, the business will no long be making money or be different from any other company. The solution is to compete on customer experience.
