How people feel about what they are doing (intrinsic motivation) is a key to sustaining their focus, energy, and commitment. One of the ways for companies to tap into this intrinsic motivation is to find ways for employees to feel as if they are contributing to the organization’s success (which is consistent with lessons from positive psychology ).

One of the most overused words in the English language is also one of the shortest. In the context of Customer Experience, it is extremely likely that this word is regularly used when an unsatisfactory experience is ‘endured’ by a customer. The word NO contains only two letters, yet its meaning can have serious ramifications on the behaviour of your employees and as importantly your customers.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

There’s something about a good quote that makes it “stick”. It can be a timeless truth about human nature, an idea that sums up the age we live in, or just a simple fact of life. And often, the quotes that stick speak louder than statistics. Facts and figures only tell part of the story, but words can sum up an idea perfectly. Here are some of best quotes about customer service – and how you can act on them.

Happiness gurus say the key to contentment is low expectations. This is great news for the pessimists whose strategy is to expect the worst and then enjoy a pleasant surprise when the apocalypse doesn’t happen. But in the customer experience world, this doesn’t fly. You cannot sandbag your customers’ expectations by promising them a miserable experience and then hitting just above the low water mark.

How purposeful is your company in working together to determine the experience it delivers to customers? All too frequently the customer experience is the unplanned collision of deliverables between silos. An experience that’s knit together through the life cycle isn’t really thought through. These efforts fall prey to being inwardly focused definitions of contact points by the silos.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

The following is a Best of 360Connext post. Do truly loyal customers actually exist? I argue the answer is no. Before you start quoting Steve Jobs and proclaiming your allegiance to the almighty Apple, please consider this: The fans of Netflix were die-hard, once upon a time. But with the emergence of other streaming services like Hulu Plus, Amazon, Redbox Instant and Crackle, once-loyal Netflix customers are switching to services that better suit their changing tastes and needs.
