In this article, we are going to give a few examples of enterprise technology companies simplifying their products, services, and experiences. The post How do enterprise technology companies simplify their products services and experiences? Part II appeared first on Eglobalis.
For some companies collecting feedback is easy. Maybe even too easy: I’ve come across a big corporation, which collects feedback, stores it somewhere and does nothing with it. There are no resources to read it through. While server space is cheap, and this might feel like an easy way to make customers believe you listen to them, don’t do like this. You are just wasting your customers’ time and fooling yourself at the same time.
Here’s the scene: Orlando, FL, where it is currently 85 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% humidity – and that’s INSIDE the airport. My family of 7 (three kids, ages 3, 9 and 10, my two parents, my husband and myself), are en route back home after a wonderful Disney vacation that had a hiccup or two.
There is a little irony that those of us in the customer service space have been observing since customer support first went online: Customers have become more impatient. Initially, customers wanted to be able to resolve their issues over email. Then they began to expect a response within 24 hours. Now, 39% of modern consumers expect a reply within four hours. 55% of Twitter and Facebook users expect to hear back even faster.
Faster response times mean happier customers Are your customers on hold too long? Nearly half of consumers find hold times unacceptable, and a quarter will leave your brand because of it. Our latest report reveals how companies are affected by wait times and the impact on customer satisfaction. Read the report to get insights into the impact of long hold times and areas for opportunities.
In a recent post, Temkin Group analyzed 10 emotions that consumers feel after completing a number of different interactions. We decided to dig deeper into one of those interactions, getting tech support for a computer. We analyzed the emotional responses across different ages of consumers after that interaction and found that: All ages of consumers are most likely to feel relieved The next most frequent emotions are happy and frustrated As you can see in the chart below: 18- to 24-year-olds: Whi
I got a great question this morning from some colleagues who attended of one of our recent journey mapping workshops together: “Our marketing team would like to map the prospect journey from awareness up to purchase, but there are so many entry points and no linear process. Prospects could see an ad, then read one of our whitepapers, then come to our website, and then attend a think tank—or learn about us in any other number of ways.

On 14 November 2016, exactly one year ago, Lumoame Oy was registered in Helsinki. This year has been an amazing journey for us and we wanted to share this important moment with you. No surprise, the main discussion topic at #LumoaAnniversary was Customer Experience. We celebrated our first year with our supporters, friends, and customers. Customers have been at the center of all our operations since the very beginning.
It was a Friday afternoon and Rodrigo, my Uber ride, was pulling up in a black Chevrolet Onix. Like the other times I had used the controversial cab service , I popped him a smile and a casual greeting as I swung into the back seat of his car. “Candy?” Rodrigo offered me as he started driving. He nodded towards the cup holder, which held at least ten colorful lozenges.
A few weeks ago, my cable bill came and it was more than I expected. I tried to figure out why, but eventually I needed to chat with the service team of a certain notorious cable company. I thought live chat would be the easiest way to get information on the extra charges. It wasn’t. Impersonal, inattentive, and inefficient – a study in all the things that customer service shouldn’t be.

There’s a continuing focus on brands improving customer experience to lead customer-driven growth. They realize that this is an investment that will be incredibly helpful if they want to be competitive.
I recently stopped by for dinner at a favorite local burger joint in my hometown of Orlando, FL. The restaurant has always had an energetic and social atmosphere, attentive service and easily the best burgers in the southeast (second only to The Vortex in Atlanta). Upon entering, I could sense a change from the norm.
In many companies, customer experience is measured, but the results are not actionable. The most widely used customer experience metric NPS (check what Net Promoter Score is about and how to use it for your company) actually gives all the necessary ingredients for the actionability. When customers are asked not only the score but also why they gave that score, they provide very useful information about the drivers of satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

…here’s 7 ways to get you started This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. You still haven’t learned how to speak up, huh? Maybe you’re just afraid of confrontation? I know, you don’t want to offend anyone, right? Don’t want to come across as too assertive or even aggressive; what’s the difference anyway? The service you provide has always lacked because of your fear of “taking charge” and not wanting to offend your customers.
Just as I was settling down for bed, I got an email notification from Passion Planner, one of my favorite brands, announcing the launch of their Kickstarter campaign of a brand new planner for 2018. I made a beeline for the website, scrolling for details on their rewards and available colors. I had questions about the planner’s design, how many I could purchase, if they’d be available undated.
Last week I visited Amazon Books in Dedham, MA, one of the online giant’s 13 physical retail locations. I was intrigued to see what Amazon.com would do with a physical bookstore. I didn’t know what to expect, but my initial thoughts jumped to the scene from 40 Year Old Virgin where Jonah Hill tries to buy something at an “eBay store.” The experience was great from the beginning.

Thanksgiving is almost here, and to many Americans, that means turkey, football and Black Friday shopping. Love it or hate it, it’s become something of an institution in the United States. The day after Thanksgiving first became popular among shoppers in the late 1920s, when Macy’s department store advertised holiday sales during their annual Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City.
When people think of branding, they tend to think of it in terms of attracting customers—showing off your company’s best qualities to acquire new sales. But branding doesn’t stop after a sale is made. It persists throughout a customer’s entire experience and beyond. And if it falters at any point, it could cost you a repeat purchase in the future—or your reputation.
I am very lucky to live in a beautiful city in the North West of England. Yes… I am not actually there as often as I would like, but when I am, I do not take for granted that my children are being raised in a lovely environment. Founded as a Roman Fort in 79 AD, Chester is one of the best preserved walled cities in Great Britain. With museums, a theatre, a Roman amphitheatre, a river, a canal and mediaeval building a plenty, Chester is a not just a great place to live, but a fantastic city to vi
Last month I switched gyms. I didn’t have a major issue with the old one. The monthly cost was pretty average and I visited regularly, but I didn’t feel particularly valued. No one really checked in with me after my induction and their communication style was really impersonal. At the new place, I already feel part of a community. The staff start friendly conversations with me.
Sales and marketing leaders have reached a tipping point when it comes to using intent data — and they’re not looking back. More than half of all B2B marketers are already using intent data to increase sales, and Gartner predicts this figure will grow to 70 percent. The reason is clear: intent can provide you with massive amounts of data that reveal sales opportunities earlier than ever before.
Whenever we discuss Net Promoter® Score, we get a bifurcated set of reactions. Some people love NPS® and others hate it. So we decided to more quantitatively gauge the sentiment. In a recent study, Temkin Group asked more than 300 CX professionals to share their thoughts about NPS. As you can see below: Most aren’t impressed. Over half of respondents say that NPS is either just like or worse than other metrics.
Image courtesy of Pixabay Why is employee engagement at an all-time low? Why is turnover as high as it is? Why are employees constantly looking for better opportunities? When you think about those questions, combined with what I wrote in my post on Employee Engagement: A Confluence of Passion and Purpose. That engagement comes from within the employee, and yet the company has a role in it, as well.
What is a chatbot? A chatbot is a service that automates your interactions with your audience and customers.

His name is Adolpho Kamisky and though he is not someone I’d heard about in history classes, he truly is a larger than life hero of World War II. From my vantage point, Adolpho has a lot to teach us about the impact we can have on our team members and customers. Beyond the Stereotype. When I typically think of a War II hero, I think of Audie Murphy, one of the most decorated combat soldiers from that conflict.
Last week I wrote about my 7-step CatSight Process for Insight Development. The first step is to identify the Category in which you are competing. I got so many comments about this step that I decided to dedicate a whole post to this important topic. If you haven’t yet had the chance to read last week’s post ( “Customer Centricity is Today’s Business Disruptor, Insights its Foundation”) I suggest you do this first, as background to this post.
