Have you recently become a chief customer officer? If you’re taking on a CCO role in a company, there’s a lot of work that has to be done to get your customer experience program off the ground and running. From getting executive buy-in, to understanding the inner workings of the organization itself, and looking for areas of opportunity, it can all seem so overwhelming.

Average handling time, like the volume of contacts, must be incorporated into planning by the half hour. Assuming the same average handling time all day for forecasting purposes will not reflect the environment accurately. Some relatively simple analysis can go a long way toward tightening up your projections.

I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that you no longer have to keep up with your competition; the bad news is that now you have to keep up with your customer – meaning your customer’s expectation of the service that makes you competitive. Perhaps you just heard that your competitor is working hard to take away business from you – maybe they’re announcing a new product; maybe they’re advertising a major sale; maybe they’re opening a new location.
Customer Experience Update brings together the best content for Customer Experience and Customer Management professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

When I bumped into a former colleague at a recent conference, he was eager to chat about a journey mapping initiative his organization (a major financial services provider) was kicking off. But I got a blank look when I asked what journeys his team planned to focus on. “We were going to do the whole lifecycle,” he told me. “We want to map from the awareness phase all the way through retention and loyalty.”.

What’s your gut response to the title question about eliminating Market Research Departments? Yes? No? It depends? I am probably in the third camp. No, if it is a department that integrates and analyses information from multiple sources, and then delivers actionable insights and recommendations. Yes, if it is the traditional market research department.

Advertising agencies are facing a lot of adversity in 2018. With more and more big brands like Sprint, Netflix, and L’Oreal cutting their agencies to take their advertising in-house, ad agencies are scrambling to re-route. U.S. ad agencies are not at risk of becoming obsolete, reportedly bringing in over $48 billion in 2016 and employing over 200,000 people, but the growth in this industry is slowing.

In J.D. Power’s most recent U.S. Retail Banking Customer Satisfaction Study, the six largest banks (Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Financial, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo) lead the industry in customer satisfaction. Smaller banks and credit unions fell behind, suggesting less effective investments. But how can this be? Shouldn’t these big banks be losing the customer experience battle to the more personalized service of their smaller, more local competitors?

Tax Day, April 17th, is fast approaching. One of the fiscal perks (maybe the only?) that comes with having children is getting a small tax credit. What about pet owners, many of whom consider their pets to be a part of their family? These furry family members can be expensive as well, with the average pet owner spending around $1,400 in the first year, according to the ASPCA.

Are journey maps a waste of time, or can you really use them to drive CX change? There's a big problem brewing out there when it comes to journey mapping: Too many folks view journey maps as useless, when instead, the maps should be seen as one of the (if not the ) most powerful tools and processes in the customer experience professional's arsenal.

It’s been a programming staple that has evolved from in-app functions to external libraries, to web services. But what does all of this have to do with customer experience? Companies are discovering the value in not only finding new customers but also in retaining them.

Unfortunately, some customers won’t complain directly to a company even when they’re unhappy; they’re unlikely to let the business know so it can address the problem and hopefully keep the customer. This is particularly true if the offense in question is relatively minor, and if complaining about it would run the risk of sounding petty. Yet, minor irritants and customer dissatisfiers do have power to compel a customer to seek a better experience elsewhere — without ever telling you, the business

Customer satisfaction (CSAT) surveys notoriously have a rather low participation rate. Most surveys fail to respect the customer’s time when required to hang on at the end of an interaction and then go through an unknown number of questions delivering no obvious benefit to the customer. Participation rates can diminish if you’re not incentivizing your customers to actively provide feedback.
