Customer experience plays an important, if not the most important role in success of any business. Nearly all companies (89%) believe that customer experience will be their primary basis for competition. How do you stand in that competition? Customer experience management brings discipline to this somewhat vague and soft area: by establishing a systematic process for collecting, analyzing and acting on the customer feedback, you’ll be able to start taking the customer experience in control.

Ridesharing services like Lyft and Uber are here to stay. According to a recent report from SharesPost , consumers are using ridesharing services more than ever before. In fact, U.S ridesharing adoption jumped 15 points to 53% in 2017. This is in part due to the continued popularity among millennials, who make up 57% of all rideshare passengers. They have embraced ridesharing more than any other demographic, driving the growth in the ridesharing economy.

Experience Matters

FEBRUARY 21, 2018

We work with many of the largest technology companies, helping them bolster the experiences they deliver to customers, often focusing on their (business-to-business) B2B relationships. With the shift from on-premise to cloud-based software, technology providers have had to focus even more on customer experience. Why? Because customers buy more incrementally and make renewal decisions more frequently, forcing tech vendors to ensure that customers are continuously getting value.

Blockchain, a digital record of all activity related to a product or service, is predicted to change retail in the same way online shopping did. The technology was originally designed for digital currency like bitcoin, and because of its effectiveness, found its way into other areas of the digital world. The beauty of blockchain is that it is shared and doesn’t sit in one database for hackers to access.

Go to a non-business department in any university and ask what they think of the idea that they are actually selling a product/service and should treat their students like a business treats their customers. In all likelihood, you’ll get a lot of horrified looks. The students will nod in agreement, but the faculty — especially those who are passionate about academia – will give you haughty glares and might just evict you from the premises.

Recently, I’ve been talking with clients about a critical, albeit subtle distinction – so I thought I would share it with you. Frequently, you’ll hear these two phrases used rather interchangeably. The first is customer-centricity, and the other is customer experience. From my vantage point, the latter phrase (customer experience) is a subset of the former (customer-centricity).

Customer self-service refers to customer-initiated interaction technologies that enable customers to access information and perform routine tasks without requiring the assistance of a live customer service representative. You may not realize it, but every time you change your password, track a package, or pay a bill without calling the company for assistance, you are performing a self-service task.

You might believe social media is a boon for customer care. It’s understandable. A Google search for the phrase ‘social media customer service’ returns 117 million results. It’s easy to find authoritative articles, like this one , that claim customers love to use social media for customer support—and they have statistics to back it up. And yet, our investigation tells a different story: Only 3% of consumers picked social media as their go-to channel over live chat, phone, and email.
