I’ve decided to take on a personal challenge: Tweeting a new customer experience tip for 100 straight days. After accounting for the overhead in each tweet (like referring back to this post), I’m only left with about 105 characters. Hopefully I can keep up the pace and pack insight into that limited space. I’ll be using the hashtag, #CXtip, so you can follow along on twitter (or just keep coming back to this post).

Customer service is too often thought of as a necessary evil – something which you have to provide, but a service that’s not a priority when you’ve got 101 things on your mind. However, for SMBs – and businesses of any size for that matter – good customer service is key to growing. After all, if customers aren’t happy, they won’t come back. Here, we explain why good customer service is essential for growing your SMB – and how you can get it right.

Over the last few years I have become a bit of a ‘closet geek’ when it comes to dictionary definitions! It is not often that you choose to pick up a dictionary (or search online these days) to discover the true meaning of a word, but I am becoming increasingly drawn to needing to know the depth to words that trip off the tongue all too easily.

Every customer support manager needs to be able to trust the members of their team. In order to do so, your team need to show that they’re capable of delivering results without feeling burnt out , unmotivated or frustrated. If they are, you’re not supporting them right, and you’ll inevitably start to notice poor performance and potentially lose some great team members in the process.

If your business sells goods or services online, then you know that nothing beats having a new customer visit your website and then make a purchase. But, the sale is just the beginning of the journey with your new customer. Once the customer makes a purchase, you must ensure that he/she is satisfied with it. Many people confuse satisfied customers with loyal customers, and while they do share similar traits there are a few differences.

We often look at self-service in terms of streamlining a process. The easier it is for our customers to help themselves, we reason, the lower our call volumes will be, the more money we’ll save, and the more time we’ll have for tending our desktop rock gardens. All of those things are true—but they’re only the perks. The real reason that it’s worth creating good self-service content is that nothing beats it when it comes to building trust between you and your customers.

Happy CX Day! On this important day, I want to discuss an important topic: strategy. In a recent post , I lamented how many companies today focus on business strategy first and customer experience strategy second. They decide what they’re going to do—and, as an afterthought, make decisions about how they’ll deliver their products and services. Everyone loves to talk about how Zappos.com delivers a great customer experience.

The customer support rep role has travelled the world and back. It’s taken many different forms from outsourced, to remote work, and now it’s back to the office. Labor that was once seen as cheap and necessary is now a highly regarded role. Here at Kayako, we were built in India. We had two main offices before our London team was even born, and we are in no way outsourced (if anything, we’re offshored to Europe!).

It is easy to think your service efforts are exceptional. Often the reality does not match your opinion. An often quoted piece of research from Bain and Co. tells us how executives tend to misread their performance. When surveying 362 firms, they found that 80 percent believed they delivered a superior experience to their customers. However when customers were asked about their view, they rated only eight percent of companies as delivering a superior experience.

It was white with a red plaid “Landau” roof; just a fancy term for a car roof style with a layer of vinyl. Note: Remember years ago when all those monkeys were ripping off and eating the Landau roofs from the cars in Great Adventure Amusement Park in New Jersey?

We’ve all been there: a customer wants you to ship a product in a color that you’ve never even heard of before, or demands a refund for a subscription they’ve been enjoying for seven months already. While you want to help them to the best of your ability, you also know that fulfilling their demands could run your business into the ground. It’s a difficult situation, because common wisdom dictates that, “the customer is always right.”.
