Okay, it’s that time again. Every few years someone ignites the debate about whether Net Promoter Score® (NPS®) is a great or terrible thing. A recent article in the WSJ (The Dubious Management Fad Sweeping Corporate America) has sparked the discussion this time. Rather than write something entirely new, I decided to share something I wrote in 2015 that addresses the issue.

Be prepared; that’s their motto. Be prepared with a rope when you’re hiking, or with a first aid kit and canteen when out in the woods. That’s the stuff they taught us when I was a scout many years ago. But their motto really stands for “always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your DUTY” We customer service leaders can learn from their motto because there are at least 33 ways the Boy Scouts can improve your customer service.

I enjoy fishing. When I need a new lure, I go to Discount Tackle on First Street in Bradenton, Florida. When I go in, we have a chat and a laugh. However, my great experience is not why I return and drive past six or seven other bait and tackle shops to get to it. Economists say the reason I go back to Discount Tackle is that I remember it was a great experience.

Call deflection is the process of routing a customer enquiry to an alternative service channel. The goal is both to ensure customers receive the answers they are seeking in the most efficient manner and to reduce the number of inbound calls routed to human agents. For that reason, successful call deflection strategies allow enquiries to be deflected to self-service channels such as FAQs, live chat, community forums, knowledge center databases and virtual agents.

Uncertainty influences a lot of our customer behavior. We buy products to reduce the risk in our lives, like insurance. Insurance buys us peace of mind if something bad happens to us or our property.

So, it’s no surprise that marketers have jumped on this trend in hopes of building their own intelligent, responsive campaigns that can keep their brands vibrant with less constant support. As predicted by Forrester and reported by MarTechToday , marketers have already spent more than $11 billion on automation solutions, and are projected to more than double that

Consider this customer experience scenario: It all started when I called for a take-out dinner order, and the hostess told me she was too busy to ask the kitchen if there was an ingredient I was allergic to in the meal I wanted to order.
