Customer experience consists of countless details, but at the end, it all comes to what a customer thinks of your brand. Sometimes, you think your brand and customer experience are the same thing.

You could use millions of different methods to improve customer experience - from service design to detailed research and questionnaires.
Social media has changed the rules of customer service. There was a time when if a customer wanted to complain, they’d have to dial the customer service number and then wait in a queue for 10, 20 or 30 minutes. If they were a bit irritated when they picked up the phone, they were likely to be fuming by the time they got through to an agent. This was partly due to the long wait, but also due to the fact that this set-up led to customers not feeling in control or valued in any way.
In case you missed it, Richard Thaler won the Nobel Prize in Economics. He’s a well-known behavioral economist and author of the popular book Nudge.

You may have seen Thaler in this scene from The Big Short where he and Selena Gomez explain a financial instrument called a synthetic collateralized debt obligation (CDO).

Halloween night 2007 was the perfect Halloween. I was old enough to go trick or treating without an adult, but young enough to not have my neighbors wonder why I was still asking for candy.

Companies are shooting themselves in the foot consistently around their customer experience. Why? And how do we help them to make it better?

The concept of customer journeys isn’t new to the customer experience world. Yet it’s taken some time for organizations to evolve from simply creating journey maps to actively using the journey as a framework for how they do business.

My answer, “B ecause the leaders we see on television in the United States are predominantly politicians.
