Siloed systems are one of the greatest obstacles to a quality customer experience (CX). Your team can spend days crafting the perfect customer journey, but if only some people on your team can see the most recent interaction with the customer, how can your perfect customer journey come to fruition? When customer touchpoints across different channels are not in sync, customers can get inconsistent information – particularly over email, live chat, and social media.

Not, I’m not talking about what happens when you skip out on the afternoon session because you got a whiff of something “totally legal in this state.” I’m talking about the feeling you get when a great speaker is on the stage and you realize… “I’m actually learning something here.” Feels good, doesn’t it?

There’s a saying: jack of all trades and master of none. The meaning behind this is that a person has knowledge of a variety of subjects and skills, but might not be an expert in any of them. So while that person can speak about a subject, they are not necessarily the best source available to dive deep into the matter at hand. This phrase can be applied to numerous industries and roles, however, when discussing customer support agents, it can be even more relevant.

Imagine a scenario where you just met a new CX colleague for the first time at a conference or other similar professional networking event. The two of you introduce yourselves to one another after which the person you just met launches into a personal story around something personally interesting to them or about them which quickly merges into a second personal story and then a third and so on.

Today, an organization's ability to competitively position and differentiate depends upon the experiences they create for their customers. Experiences that resonate change the way a company is perceived, forge customer trust, and improve financial performance. If the experience falls flat, companies face not only losing one customer but also others within the dissatisfied customer's network.

Self-service and customer relations: provide autonomy to your customers. According to a Zendesk study, the main reasons for customer dissatisfaction are the multiplication of online contributors (57%) and a resolution time that is too long for 46% of respondents. A customer who fails to find an immediate solution to his problem will put an end to his journey and can even end up doing business with your competitors.

Why Seamless CX Matters More Than Ever. At face value, providing seamless customer service should be the goal of every contact center. With so many technologies to manage, along with rising customer expectations, this can be harder than it seems. By extension, the easier you can make this look to the customer, the better the outcomes. However, this requires orchestration across your entire contact center operation.

While there are more and more schools offering degrees in customer experience or customer experience management, what if their school of choice does not?

Experience Matters

Experience Management (XM) programs often rely on one or more key metrics that track items such as likely to recommend, satisfaction, effort, or engagement. As I’ve written in the past, the success or failure of these metrics often has little to do with the actual metric. Instead, the key to success is the program that is wrapped around those numbers (see our 5 steps for an effective CX metrics program).

Social media has changed many things about our lives. Not only can we have a blow by blow account of what our friends and family are up to, but we can also see what they had for dinner. We can even see what friends of our friends had for dinner. One of the other ways social media changed our lives is in how we interact with brands. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter gave us direct access to brands in a way we hadn’t had before.
