What is the role of internal client experiences in creating extraordinary external client experiences (CX)? Customer experience seems to be on everyone’s mind these days. Paying lip service and talking the talk is different than consistently walking the walk. With all the attention focused on acquiring and retaining customers, often the unsung heroes and heroines of this quest are located internally, within the organization.

Innovation still tends to be predominantly inward looking, used primarily to solve business problems and often confined to, and stifled within, siloed business units. At some point we need to ask the question: Who are we really innovating for? To realize the promised rewards, innovation can no longer remain focused on simply generating more marginally successful solutions for market share gain, productivity improvements, or shareholder returns.

Many common beliefs about customer experience are misguided, based on oversimplifications or a lack of consideration for real-world constraints. In this series of posts, we debunk these myths. CX Myth #1: The Customer Is Always Right What’s Wrong: Like all human beings, customers aren’t always right. They sometimes complain when the company did nothing wrong, request things that the company can not or should not provide, and periodically just make mistakes.

There’s no sweeter deal than a lead who’s ready to buy and just needs a bit of coaxing. But as any salesperson will tell you, hot leads like that are a rare find, not a reliable source of new business. In fact, they’re a lot harder to come by than most people (looking at you, marketers) tend to think. According to Gleanster Research , only 25% of marketing leads are actually qualified enough to pass to sales, and 79% never become customers.

Marketing trends come and go, sometimes as swiftly (and pitilessly) as the evening tide.
