As Customer Experience (CX) professionals, we all have some of the same tools at our disposal – journey mapping, surveys, design thinking, etc. But some CX pros just seem to be able to get more out of them. They are better able to connect the dots between customer needs and changes the organization needs to make or set in motion the plan to get things done. So, what ingredients help separate successful CX professionals from the pack? At Walker, we’ve identified ten skills or characteristics of successful CX leaders. In this blog, I want to focus on one – business savvy.

Recently, a friend sent me a message about a website I run, suggesting that I add classifieds to the site. After thinking about it, I realized the integration of classifieds could be beneficial for myself and my users. Yet I had never considered it before! My site had no place to submit feedback and who knows what other great ideas I’ve missed from other people.

There are a variety of different ways to collect customer feedback, and surveys are usually the first method that comes to mind. But that's not the only way to figure out what your customers are saying about your product -- in fact, you could be missing out on valuable customer feedback coming in through a different channel: social media.

The success of your mobile app rests on multiple different factors; however, the most important factor is easily user experience (UX) design. Expectations for mobile interactions have grown, and as a result, UX design has become an essential part of the mobile app development process.

How many times have you called your credit card or insurance company only to plow through a grueling five minutes of automated options before being put on hold for the “next available representative”? After being reminded that “this call will be recorded for quality assurance purposes,” another five minutes drag by before you’re finally talking to a human being.
By this time, you’re frustrated and exhausted, and you wonder how any company concerned with “quality assurance” could put you through such an obnoxious ordeal.
This is an example of an awful user experience (UX) – from its clunkiness and inefficiency to its total lack of regard for the customer’s time, this kind of call center gauntlet is doing the company no favors with regard to customer satisfaction or loyalty. As such, it has an immensely harmful effect on the overall customer experience (CX) – how customers engage with a company over the entire duration of their time using its products and services.
