A few months ago, I posted a blog about the ABA Regulatory Compliance Conference and a new product we had rolled out. Well, I just wrapped up attending the American Banker’s Regulatory Symposium in Arlington, Virginia and NOT surprisingly the same key theme that emerged over and over – as discussed by Richard Cordray and.

'Being a Customer Experience (CX) professional and having studied and practiced the art and the science of this wonderful CX discipline for over nine years now, (all within one organization) I pause to reflect on what the net result is of all the hard and dedicated work that we CX professionals have accomplished thus far and what we are yet to accomplish.
I started my career as a banker during a rapid period of deregulation. Banks weren’t sure what to do. Regulators were making up the new rules and literally publishing them every Tuesday when the DIDC (Depository Institutions Deregulatory Committee) would issue the changes for the week. Seriously. And consumers didn’t understand all that was happening but were trying to find their way.
'Most of us take great pride in the excellent products or services we provide, but let’s face it – there are many great organizations and service providers who do the same thing. So how do we set ourselves apart from our competition? Better yet, how do we deliver customer service above and beyond; services and products which shoot us out of that “good” box and upward towards the big blue sky of “great”?

'Treat your customers like Royalty Should you treat all your customers like Royalty? We have written previously about whether to offer a standard customer service to all or tailor it to individual customers or group of customers. The debate rages on as tailored customer service will obviously be much more expensive to deliver. There is even an argument that tailoring is not actually required.
We can debate the merits of Net Promoter System (NPS) and whether it is the most effective and accurate measure of customer loyalty , but for many in-house and outsourced call centers, NPS has been selected as the customer loyalty metric, and that’s just the way it is. Love it or hate it, NPS is the metric, so that’s what we’re shooting for. “Ok, so how do we boost NPS and keep it up on a sustained basis?

'However, a recent feature by the Sunday Times found that despite all the investment in improving services, hotels all too often fail on the customer experience. So why is it that as brands get more sophisticated in their technology and more innovative in their attempts to dazzle us, they fail to deliver a great experience? It all comes down to basics - those fundamental things expected by guests but often forgotten by brands, in their eagerness to launch the next big thing.
'I recently came across a book titled Why How We Do Anything Means Everything in Business. In this book, author Dov Seidman quotes legendary General Electric CEO Jack Welch: “There’s no secret to the what; the secret is in how. They (GE competitors) can know our model, but they cannot do it. They can’t copy our hows.” The book argues that organizations are very proficient at measuring “how much” but they struggle in measuring the “how” (in other wo
'This week was a drama-filled example of a customer “gone wild” when an incredibly frustrated customer service recording from Reddit was made public on YouTube. Picture a client, who for three hours tried in vain to get an issue resolved at an alleged home security organization, and went from agent to agent until finally customer service representative Michelle left a number for the client to call.
AI adoption is reshaping sales and marketing. But is it delivering real results? We surveyed 1,000+ GTM professionals to find out.

'Customer service reputation One critical aspect of good customer service management is to be well aware of all the smoke signals sent by customer though all available channels including social media. If they are carefully monitored, captured and acted upon they can help create a positive feedback loop initiated by customers for the long term benefit of the company.

The e-cigarette industry is expected to clear $1 billion in 2013, and the success of the smokeless devices is reigniting the public smoking debate. Although marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional tobacco products, e-cigarettes lack an FDA ruling that backs the claim. And while the secondhand vapor produced by the devices hasn’t been shown to be harmful, many believe welcoming e-cigarette use in public places would erode the decades of progress made in banning public smoking.
What does customer service excellence look like in 2024? According to our report with insights from CX expert Shep Hyken, customer expectations are at an all-time high, and there’s a bigger shift toward self-service and leveraging AI capabilities.
'What does it take to be a successful 9-1-1 telecommunicator? Certainly, solid listening and communication skills are key, as well as a certain ‘thick-skinnedness,’ calm under pressure, manual dexterity and multi-tasking abilities. Good old-fashioned detective skills typically aren’t part of the job description, but this year’s PSAPs’ Finest Telecommunicator of the Year was able to apply her quick thinking and sleuthing to help police nab the bad guy.
'Amazon is stepping up the customer service game for users of the new Kindle Fire HDX. For those of us who might be a tad technologically challenged or for any problem that might occur, Mayday is a built in remote support and instant helpline available to the consumer 24/7/365 days a year. So if you’re confused by the predecessors and have used YouTube videos or Googled your questions for years, the new age of customer service may be setting Amazon apart from their competition.

Heavily opinionated content, a not-so-subtle political bent, and occasional yelling are common on American news programs. The latest news service to launch, Al Jazeera America, promises not to follow suit. Its acting CEO told The New York Times that “viewers will see a news channel unlike the others, as our programming proves Al Jazeera America will air fact-based, unbiased and in-depth news.” Many media personalities are skeptical of Al Jazeera America’s journalistic merit.
'How a Public Safety Answering Point can Achieve Situational Awareness The Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) of the future is starting to take shape. We know that with Next Gen 9-1-1, emergency calls will no longer be just voice. Instead, they may include some combination of voice, texts, pictures, and video. Someday, as well, it is likely that video from public and private organizations will play a more central role in the PSAP, along with real-time video from patrol vehicles and body-worn c

A few weeks back we looked at who’s buying an electric vehicle in the US, where these customers are coming from, and how consideration of electric vehicles has changed over time.
