If you Google customer experience you’ll get about 2,340,000,000 results—articles, videos, reports—with in-depth information about the space. All these resources promise to offer the one right solution to delivering a great customer experience (CX), but there’s one problem: that one right solution is actually different depending on the source. This leaves you with more uncertainty about CX than you had at the start of your research. .

In our customer experience consultancy, clients tell us customers make decisions based on price or features. However, in our research, we never find price or features are the most important things. Instead, it tends to be a combination of a few insignificant, humanistic-type factors that drive customer behavior. We discussed the significance of the insignificant in a recent podcast.

Every industry strives to improve their customers’ experience with their products and services. Adopting a customer first strategy is therefore in many company objectives. Unfortunately it rarely goes beyond the theory in many organisations, so I decided to help out with these six suggestions. Hospitality is perhaps one of the most visible industries where customer satisfaction, or lack of, is quickly shared with the world.

I watched her smile at everyone who passed her. Her gaze fell naturally on each person and she took the time to acknowledge the children. Waves, “high-fives” and plenty of thank-yous always seem to be around her. No wonder why the customers love her. How does she do it? Good question? Is her friendly demeanor something she’s learned or was taught, or is she just “naturally friendly”?

The most critical element to improving your company is not having a visionary CEO, leaders who have “been there/done that,” or teams working long hours to deliver the product: it’s actively capitalizing on the voice of the customer feedback. Voice of the customer feedback is any comment or concern given by a customer to your company. 67% of customers are willing to pay more for better customer experience and the best way to improve is to listen to your customers.

In 2004, I presented to an insurance company in Germany about how they should be evoking the proper emotions in their customers. It was a tough audience. One of the guys asked, “How much money are we going to get back by doing this?”. It was not an unfair question, but it was one for which I had no answer. We needed to change that and so began two-years’ worth of research with the London Business School to identify which emotions drive and destroy value.

Quite simply, poor customer service will eventually spell the end of an organization – according to the White House Office of Consumer Affairs, customers who are the victims of an unhappy experience will tell 9 to 15 people about it.
