when you have a love of service, it's not that hard to do. This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. Many service providers have lost sight of what really matters. It’s not the ROI, the seamless journey between touchpoints, or even the capacity to personalize the product or service we offer. It’s the ability to sustain relationships that will enable long-term viability and growth.

Not so long ago, field service employees could only connect with the dispatcher, the back office, or the warehouse in a few ways: face-to-face, by phone, or by two-way radio. At the start of the day, the schedule would be provided to the technicians, and throughout the day there’d be little to no ability to communicate back and forth should any problems arise, i.e., misplaced equipment, incorrectly ordered parts, or delays in the schedule.

In 2003, business strategist Frederick Reichheld published an article in Harvard Business Review in which he states that “the only path to profitable growth may lie in a company’s ability to get its loyal customers to become, in effect, its marketing department.”. To identify these loyal customers, Reichheld advises implementing a Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey, which is a simple way of gauging a customer’s loyalty to your brand and a good predictor of how well your business will perform

Breaking free from survey mentality with unstructured customer feedback. It’s hard to say exactly when or how it happened, but the phrase “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) has become nearly synonymous with survey process. When we consider today’s customer, and the methods by which they exercise their voice, we can do so much more. Consumers are not as likely to fill out surveys as they once were.

Understanding and improving your customer experience (CX) can have a massive impact on your bottom line. Choosing the right voice of customers (VoC) solution is a critical step to elevating CX. Frost & Sullivan researched more than 50 leading VoC vendors, analyzing both their “innovation index” and “growth index” to independently select the top 10 performers in each of these categories.

Your company’s brand is more than a cool or cute logo and colors meant to evoke emotions.

Your company is quick to outsource a handful of operational functions without a second thought – think: maintenance and cleaning crews, office supplies and equipment, and coffee and catering, among many others. But the people you hire to take care of those things aren’t really “partners” in the full sense of the word. They’re not the ones who are as invested in your company’s success as you are.
