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.

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.

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. Leaders toss around terms like “engagement” and “transformation” in ways that make those terms seem less important than they are.

Businesses now live in the age of “experience” Thanks to the digital revolution, so much of a brand’s bottom line now depends on customer experience because consumers have more access to information (and therefore more access to alternatives) than they’ve ever had before. The competition for consumer headspace is increasing and so is the pressure for brands to create an emotional bond with customers.

Shownotes… I am going to be delivering a webinar later this week for a partner and our initial conversations were around moving from Customer Success to Customer experience. It seems that Customer Success has a wide range of definitions, as does Customer Experience. So I thought it was important to differentiate the two and show you how they can work in tandem.

No matter how productive and effective your team is, there are always ways for you to help them become even better.
