Why amazing customer experiences matter. By 2020, customer experience (CX) will overtake price as a key product differentiator. While there are many ways to improve CX – ease of use, innovation, and speed are just a few – companies should be paying more attention to consistency and personalization. Regardless of how a customer chooses to contact you, expectations of consistent and personalized interactions across every channel — phone, email, social, website, or live chat — don’t change.

Thanks to a fun report from CCW , Customer Contact Week, and some clever customer experience pros (and prose – ha ha,) there is a discussion around leadership buzzwords we should have. According to the report, the list of buzzwords is growing. And I agree.

Some call centers struggle to have a stellar reputation, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Call center representatives are a vital part of the front line, there to help customers when they have questions or problems, and as such, they have the power to strengthen (or weaken) the customer relationship. So, how can you ensure that customers who call your company are given the help that they need and that they exit the call feeling positive about the interaction and the company?

Increasing a team’s productivity can be very important when it comes to successfully completing a task or a campaign you’re working to deliver. No matter how productive and effective your team is, there are always ways for you to help them become even better. Being dictatorial and demanding work from your team won’t help as you would not have built a relationship with them.
