Disappointing results on a customer service survey can be more than demoralizing. They can bode ill for future financial results and even directly threaten your livelihood. The problem is unlikely to be the survey design (though that’s possible). More likely, the problem is that you really need to improve! Yet, in the face of poor scores, what happens at many organizations is denial and rationalization.

It’s no secret it costs five times more to attract a new customer than to keep an existing one.

That said, why are only 18% of companies focusing on retention ? Seems crazy, right? With Net Promoter Score (NPS), companies can measure customer loyalty and find ways to turn customers into champions.

I don't know how many books I added to my library this year, but it was a lot. I thought I'd share some good ones that I'd recommend you add to your reading list for 2019. These books are not customer experience books per se - but the outcomes of implementing what you learn in them will certainly lead to better experiences for employees and for customers.
