Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos recently sent a letter to shareholders sharing his view on how Amazon would avoid what he calls “Day 2,” because… Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1. I’ve shared the full letter below, but want […].

I am a huge proponent of the concept behind the Net Promoter Score® (NPS)®. As you likely know the NPS® is calculated by asking customers: How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague? Respondents are given choices on a zero to 10 point scale. Those who indicate 9 or 10 are classified as promoters, 7 and 8 are referred to as passives, and respondents who answer 6 or below are viewed as detractors.

Where do you begin when you develop a new product or feature? Product development can seem overwhelming. There are so many moving parts that trying to create something valuable from nothing can seem impossible. And with so many stakeholders to please, whose opinion should you seek? All too often a product development cycle starts with market research, gets approved by the board, developed and sold by a sales team before support is ever involved.

I’ve been so fortunate to work with some really great people. Many of these were clients who were charged with leading customer experience change within large companies. There are so many challenges in these positions. In most cases, it’s new philosophy, limited staff and authority, and typically a culture straining against the wave of change that is required with a successful customer experience strategy.

I was going to write a blog about all the missteps involved in the United Airlines customer experience disaster. Then I started seeing an “abundance of critics” rushing out of the woodworks – some of whom clearly have never tried to help a company strike a balance between customer needs and profitability. With all this angst about the state of United’s customer experience and the doomsday reporting about the “fatally flawed” nature of air travel in general, I was reminded of that classic l

There are certain things in life that are indisputable. Money does not grow on trees, is just one example. The earth is round, is another. Additionally, it cannot be denied that we – that is you and I – in fact all people on the planet – are human beings. I know that often human beings behave in a way that puts our humanity in doubt, yet even though not all people share the same moral or ethical code, we are all humans nonetheless.

Customer centricity is the idea that organizations should not only serve their customers, but also get “close to them” — understand what they value, deliver exceptional experiences and memories, and work to build relationships.

Customer support teams focus their efforts on three goals: Delight your customers, make them happy, and treat them with respect. After all, the customer is always right, right? Support teams want to maintain a consistent and repeatable customer experience.

Have you ever had to deal with a customer who was really angry? While most days aren’t perfect, if generally takes a lot for us to get red-in-the-face angry. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, and some people are just plain nasty. But most of us don’t set out looking for conflict, and that includes your customers. So let’s talk about when customers are furious- when they are so angry they yell at representatives of your company.

In last week’s blog , I made a distinction between “likely to recommend” and “actually recommend.” I also suggested that from my vantage point the Net Promoter Score® (which is calculated using a single question about likelihood to recommend) has greater predictive value for customer loyalty (return business and future spend) than it does about advocacy (referrals).

Which survey will measure customer loyalty and show us who our best customers are and those at risk of churn? Customer surveys that measure advocacy, satisfaction, and effort don’t give us the insights we need. Even though the Net Promoter Score (NPS) was designed to measure customer loyalty, it’s limited by capturing overall trends in customer loyalty not why that trend is happening.

According to Bruce Temkin’s 2016 study , after a positive emotional experience, customers are 15 times more likely to recommend a company. 15 times more likely ! That’s a huge difference. Not surprisingly, emotion analysis is receiving a lot of buzz. But do the current solutions deliver on the key question that companies should be asking themselves: How can we provide a positive emotional experience to our customers?

What do my customers want? This question is on the minds of most CEOs and managers who think about innovating and growing their companies. But sometimes this question makes us get ahead of ourselves. We obsess over how users and buyers could behave in the future instead of looking at what is in front of us now. What we should be asking is: What do my customers need and how can I help them?
