A substantial part of your customer’s opinion of your brand comes from their direct experiences with your products—how they interact with products and how products make them feel. Understanding how people perceive and use your product is important to ensure you meet their needs.

A customer experience leader’s role is often tied to collecting, analyzing and acting upon customer feedback. Many leaders are tasked with developing customer feedback programs, including how and when to send surveys, where to insert feedback tools like kiosks or chatbots, and how to report on the feedback once it’s gathered.

Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ll have heard of, and likely used live chat. You have probably interacted with chatbots too, knowingly or unknowingly. In both cases, students definitely have. Today’s students are digital nomads. Technology doesn’t only come easy to them – it’s where they want to interact. If colleges and universities want to improve student engagement and retention, they need to be where they are – online.

So, here it is: There are some who say that they, as customer service professionals, have been trained to act the part to be happy to serve. They believe they are acting. They claim they can never “be the part” to be happy to serve.

When customers miss payments, it’s up to collections departments and agencies to recover what is owed. This can be a stressful process for delinquent customers (often experiencing financial hardship) and businesses trying to balance recovery with maintaining a positive customer relationship and brand reputation. The addition of debt collection regulations further complicates an already delicate interaction.

Assuming that every other airline has these self-service digital options, what if one didn’t?

You’ve heard this before, right? “Due to current circumstances, we’re experiencing longer-than-usual wait times.” Those “circumstances” can vary. Over the past twenty months, of course, it has been Covid-19. Sometimes it’s the holidays. Sometimes brands stiff-arm you without even giving you the courtesy of telling you why. There’s even a brand that I call rarely …maybe once or twice a year…and they’ve been using the longer-than-usual wait times idiom as long as I can remember.

Earlier this year, CommerceNext conducted a large-scale survey among retail marketing leaders. And while, as we mentioned a few weeks ago – many marketers like to talk about how important Retention, Customer Data Platforms, and Actionable Data are – when push comes to shove, most will revert to old-fashioned, perhaps even outdated, tactics. For example, “Retention/Loyalty Marketing” was named the area where CMOs are looking to increase their investment the most.
