As someone who spent 17 years working in a corporate environment, I have experienced enough metaphors and analogies to last me a lifetime. Often, the use of both come across as either patronising, irritating, or indeed both!! That being said, in reality, I am actually as guilty as using them to get a point across as anyone else! If you are not fond of an analogy, then I suggest you spend the next five minutes of your time doing something else!!

This journey map for the Exploratorium , a science museum in San Francisco, is one of my favorites. That’s because the folks at the former design agency Adaptive Path (which was acquired by Capital One back in 2014) did a great job of highlighting two key things: 1) The entirety of the customer experience. It would be easy for Exploratorium management to focus exclusively on the museum experience—everything that happens within their physical walls, represented by the square box in the middle of

The Golding family car – a Renault Grand Espace we affectionately call ‘the beast’ – is reaching the end of its life.

If you’re in Customer Service, you’ve heard of “omnichannel”. In fact, you’re probably sick of the term. This concept is easy to understand and the technology isn’t the real challenge. The challenge is the human interface, both the consumer wanting (or not wanting) omnichannel integration , and the agent actually incorporating all channels in the right way.

It will come as no surprise that consumers today demand effortless and expedited service! Online retailers like Amazon have made shopping easier (24-hours a day, purchasing from the comfort of our home, with no lines at checkout) but they make customers wait for delivery (typically relying on UPS). By contrast, brick-and-mortar businesses have products available for immediate purchase but often aggravate customers with slow or inefficient processes for completing transactions (e.g. lines at the

When a company reaches the top, does customer service quality still matter? Industry leaders tend to think so. I recently organized a service bench-marking visit to Singapore for 22 Korean sales and service trainers. In seven days we visited 23 leading organizations. A very busy week! At the Singapore Airlines Cabin Crew Training Center, one visitor asked, “How does Singapore Airlines stay on top all these years?

Whilst there are still some business leaders around the world who are yet to believe it, most organisations have woken up to the importance of continuously listening to the perception of the customer.

…or does it even matter? This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. After your star performer quit and left you high and dry you insisted on keeping that manager position open for three weeks. Face it; your pride got the best of you. “How dare he walk out like that? Besides, we didn’t need him anyway”. Boy, how wrong you were. No emails went out about why he left and there was no mention to the middle managers of what happened.

Customer churn is bad. You don’t want it, obviously. In a perfect utopia, all your customers would stay in the fold, retain, and refer you to other new customers. That’s the apex of a customer-driven growth engine, and it’s essentially the polar opposite of customer churn. But we all know the quote, often attributed to Warren Buffett.
