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.

Because we have frequent thunderstorms and power outages in my Florida home, I recently decided to buy an uninterruptible power supply for my electronics. I’ve had good experiences with Apple products so I first checked to see if Apple made that sort of thing. They didn’t, so I set about comparing and contrasting the models that were available. I quickly got lost in technical specifications, so I decided that I would choose based on how long the power supply would last.

It’s those companies that manage to stand out from the crowd that end up being successful. When I work with companies, I urge them to find what makes them unique and use it as a competitive advantage. It’s always a treat when I meet people who not only agree with my philosophies but take them a step further.
