LISTEN to your Customers. Listening. We all know how to do it… but few know how to do it well … and it could be driving your customers away if you don’t do it well. Listen well and you’ll increase sales and customer loyalty. Even though communication involves two parts – speaking and listening – I believe that listening is actually 2/3 of successful communication.

It is very refreshing and encouraging to see so many organizations with mission statements indicating their focus on the customer and their mission to deliver the best customer experience. Over the past few years, organizations have begun taking it a step further than just stating this customer focus, but have started establishing teams or divisions.

Every company out there is trying to be more customer-centric, and the race for an excellent customer experience is heating up. Nowadays, having competitive prices and bombarding customers with advertisements and offers is not enough. Customers are smarter than before, and most of them already know your products and services intimately, based on online research or referrals, before making a purchase.

The whole idea of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) is based around asking customers the question ‘How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague?’ and proposing to them a variety of response options based on a zero to ten scale. In the years since its introduction, NPS has become used all over the world and few organisations fail to ask their customers this question in one form or another at some point in the organisation/customer interaction.

However, the consumer is evolving at the speed of light, and, thanks to technological advancements, the customer journey is changing just as quickly. How the Customer Journey Has Changed. The customer’s journey through a sales funnel was linear and predictable.

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.

Millennials get a tough rap. If it’s not a news story about how entitled they act, they’re being told they’ll never be able to afford to buy a house because they spend their money on avocado toast. Maybe it’s not actually the toast—maybe they’re not able to purchase a home because 63% of millennials have more than $10,000 in student loan debt. According to a study on millennial student debt , 83% of non-homeowners believe their student loan debt has delayed them from buying a home.

Over the many years that I’ve spent doing customer experience work, every leader I’ve worked with has asked for explicit actions that they can take to show their commitment to CX transformation. I’ve spent plenty of time developing these actions through tried and tested methods, and decided to turn them into “recipe cards.” Recipe cards came to mind because I grew up in an Italian household with grandmothers who always cared for my siblings and I, and kept us fed.
