Ever have a sneaking suspicion something just isn’t right, but you don’t know how to fix it? Is that happening with your organization’s customer experience design for service delivery?

This is a guest post by Lexie Lue of Design Roast. When customers think about your brand, they should think about their overall experience with your company as a whole. Strong branding likely brings a logo or tagline to mind, but it also plays into emotions and memories of past experiences with your business.

The point of sale is an incredibly important time for retailers to engage their customers. However, most are stuck using outdated feedback methods (think receipt questionnaires and kiosk surveys) designed to collect mass feedback rather than reveal key customer experience issues. Generic and impersonal, these point-of-sale surveys do a poor job of uncovering meaningful insights.

Buying a car used to be a rite of passage in an American’s life, but after seven straight years of growth in new vehicle sales, 2017 reported a decline of 1.8% , with 17.2 million cars and trucks sold. Even worse news for manufacturers, it’s predicted 2018’s number will drop to 16.8 million vehicles sold. It used to be that consumers were stuck with whatever price the car dealership offered them, give or take a little wiggle room.

Your boss and your boss’s boss just came from a seminar on Net Promoter Score (NPS) and want you to implement an NPS program this week. You want to show them that not only are you on top of their request, but you can give them the results they are looking for — customer retention and growth. It’s tempting to simply download your customer list and send out a single NPS survey, but a rock-solid NPS program is much more than a single survey.
