Businesses now live in the age of “experience” Thanks to the digital revolution, so much of a brand’s bottom line now depends on customer experience because consumers have more access to information (and therefore more access to alternatives) than they’ve ever had before. The competition for consumer headspace is increasing and so is the pressure for brands to create an emotional bond with customers.

A day in the life of a Millennial. Ashley rolls over, checks her Fitbit Ionic to see the quality of REM sleep she experienced last night, and reaches for her iPhone to scan her messaging apps and social networks. She tweets about her sleep quality and messages her roommate that her share of the rent has been paid with Venmo. On her way out, she checks with Alexa whether her shoes have been shipped by Amazon, grabs her ear buds, sets her smart home security system, and rides her electric scooter

So, how can you ensure that customers who call your company are given the help that they need and that they exit the call feeling positive about the interaction and the company?

If you work in consumer goods you probably think you have nothing to learn from healthcare, right? After all, you have consumers in your industry name and well healthcare’s reputation is not that great. But think again. I was recently in a clinic for surgery and was surprised by how customer (patient) centric they are. I remind my clients that exceptional customer service examples can come from anywhere!

My daughter, Claudia, and I have a tradition when we eat ice cream at home: it’s always topped with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles. One day not long ago, Claudia asked me if I’d make her a bowl of ice cream. I was in the middle of something but said yes anyway—and made it in a rush. When I handed Claudia the ice cream, her enthusiastic thank-you and broad smile quickly dissolved into disappointment. “What happened to the whipped cream and sprinkles?

Thanks to a fun report from CCW , Customer Contact Week, and some clever customer experience pros (and prose – ha ha,) there is a discussion around leadership buzzwords we should have. According to the report, the list of buzzwords is growing. And I agree. Leaders toss around terms like “engagement” and “transformation” in ways that make those terms seem less important than they are.

As a die-hard Red Sox fan, I really enjoy watching the MLB playoffs. As a matter of fact, baseball is one of the two major U.S. sports that has gained TV fans since 2012 (see our Fan Experience Benchmark). But even with sports on TV, I couldn’t hide from the news updates full of partisan political bickering. So it made me think… what are the political views of baseball fans?

when you have a love of service, it's not that hard to do. This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. Many service providers have lost sight of what really matters. It’s not the ROI, the seamless journey between touchpoints, or even the capacity to personalize the product or service we offer. It’s the ability to sustain relationships that will enable long-term viability and growth.

Not so long ago, field service employees could only connect with the dispatcher, the back office, or the warehouse in a few ways: face-to-face, by phone, or by two-way radio. At the start of the day, the schedule would be provided to the technicians, and throughout the day there’d be little to no ability to communicate back and forth should any problems arise, i.e., misplaced equipment, incorrectly ordered parts, or delays in the schedule.
