Baby Boomers, Millennials, Gen Xers and Gen Z’s make up our current workforce, but each has a unique set of needs. How do we satisfy the needs of each while creating a culture that will support and deliver an effective CX strategy? Consider these examples.

Let’s talk about the future of customer experience. I’m often asked about it, and I’ll tell you this universal truth: Customers will expect more than we can give them. You heard that right. We are reaching a point when expectations will become so high that it will be challenging for us to keep up with them. What can we do? Just build a bunker and wait it out, I suppose.

Without customers, a business doesn’t mean much. Therefore, customer voice and experience need to be front and center in every organization. It’s imperative to have customer experience as a clearly articulated goal across the business and to solicit customer insights that are shared organization-wide to meet that goal. When customer experience is approached as a shared service, both companies and consumers benefit exponentially and you ensure longevity in the market.

With new privacy regulations and a greater public awareness of online privacy rights, we marketers have had a fire lit under us. We must be more careful and thoughtful than ever when deciding how to access and utilize customer data. This environment, coupled with the desire for more targeted information to help maximize marketing dollars, is leading businesses to focus less on the amount, and more on the quality of data used to reach customers.

As a customer first strategist (hopefully just like you), I spend a lot of my time searching how to better measure customer centricity for my clients. I also do a lot of analyses on what customers really want today. I’m always trying to understand exactly the solutions customers need, desire and dream of having.

Your customer only sees one brand. For them, customer attraction and retention blur together into one ongoing journey. . It’s important to keep that perspective in mind as you help customers progress through different teams—from sales to customer success and back again—and through different phases, such as onboarding, adoption, and renewal. Knowing these different stages can be powerful for monitoring, servicing, and motivating customers, but it all needs to come from a unified, consistent brand
