I’ve lost count of the number of meetings that I’ve had with copywriters, marketers, and designers where the terms customer experience (CX) , user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) have been used in an interchangeable manner. In those meetings, I’ve always gotten the gist of what they were trying to explain, so I’ve overlooked the terminology.

Online banking has been transforming customers’ behaviors, expectations, and needs. Why is that so? It’s because it provides a more comfortable life for the customer, which is what they want precisely. Customers want to have a smooth execution of banking transactions with just one click or one touch rather than wasting their time waiting in line. However, customers still find it hard to settle some banking problems regardless of what platform they are using, which eventually allows the banking i

As customer insights have become an integral tenet of business, it’s been ingrained in some that the data itself is the single most important currency of business. But like most dogma, that concept is fundamentally flawed. In this modern age, businesses have had to shift how they not only perceive, but how they treat, trust between the company and its customers.The success of a business depends on its ability to earn and maintain consent to access customer insights.

CX tools are dominating the software space. In fact, according to Capterra , there are over 300 different customer experience tools currently on the market. This isn’t surprising, considering customer experience is becoming a more important metric year after year. This is because, within most industries, customers have more than one (sometimes dozens) of similar options to choose from right at their fingertips.

I am a storyteller. I have spent the better part of my life sharing those stories on stage through song, dance, and acting. And, when I joined the CloudCherry Team over two years ago, I felt certain that little- if any- of the skills I’d honed during this 20-year career would be transferable. So much of everything, of course has to do with mindset. And, in my case, it’s taken the challenge of a colleague to inspire some long overdue thinking (and a bit of mindset tweaking) on the subject.

When tasked with overhauling the customer experience (CX), business leaders often seek to identify the most critical customer touchpoints. The important touchpoints are a make or break–they determine whether customers choose to stay, whether customers upgrade or cancel and whether customers recommend you to their friends and family. Some moments are more important than others–but how do we know which points to focus on?

Increase data quality, reduce clicks, and drive key business processes with CRM embedded surveys. The term “ garbage in, garbage out ” is a concept that the quality of input data determines the quality of output data. In other words, what you put in is what you get out. Since data lies at the heart of your business, trusting faulty input data to influence critical business decisions is risky and can yield misleading results.

For example, heavy emphasis on low AHT would often negatively impact customer satisfaction. Conversely, when trying to improve NPS, agents would often spend additional time building relationships with their customers, driving up call durations.

Sales and marketing leaders have reached a tipping point when it comes to using intent data — and they’re not looking back. More than half of all B2B marketers are already using intent data to increase sales, and Gartner predicts this figure will grow to 70 percent. The reason is clear: intent can provide you with massive amounts of data that reveal sales opportunities earlier than ever before.
