Market research has been around for long and has helped many industries grow by grabbing the right opportunities based solely on consumer feedback. Like everything else, consumer research, too, had advanced over the years, coming a long way from legacy survey distribution methods. Research methods like telephone surveys, in-person interviews, and Google ads are no longer as effective as they were a few years ago.

Great employees are the heart and soul of any business, especially a successful one. Their efforts cannot be understated enough. But there are always one or two poor performers or “deadwood employees” – those who contribute little to the company’s success and at times undermine it. And they hang on year after year. They never seem to get fired and amass a laundry list of disciplinary actions with little substantive repercussions.

Lifetime warranties are a common feature of the product world. They essentially say “we guarantee that the object you bought will work as long as you own it. If the product ever fails, we promise to replace it or repair it to your satisfaction.” Lifetime warranties, as opposed to limited warranties, are designed to be bold statements communicating confidence in a product.

Do you know what annoys me? When I go into an organization, and they say their goal is to delight customers at every moment of contact. Honestly, it sounds exhausting, for both the team and your customers. After all, how much joy do you need to buy paper towels? Another area exists to channel all that enthusiasm instead. There is a significant connection between successful Customer Experiences and the amount of effort they require from customers.

The difference between good and excellent contact center CX is providing customers with a human touch. As digital channels and AI become more prevalent in contact centers, customers are looking for more in their experiences with human agents, something they can’t receive from bots and self-service channels — a sense of humanity, empathy and having their feelings and frustrations validated.

What does it cost to be nice? Some would say, “Nothing.” When it comes to people interacting with people, that’s probably true. It’s a smile, a wave, a head nod or some other gesture. It’s a genuine “thank you” or another comment to share your appreciation for your customer. None of that has any cost associated with the idea of being nice. I’m in the process of writing a new book.
