Customer experience. I am sure you’ve discussed improving your CX at least once this year—and if you haven’t you probably should. The truth is, 2018 is the year of the customer experience and customer satisfaction. Why? According to Salesforce, 75 percent of consumers expect a consistent experience wherever they engage and 87 percent of consumers think brands need to do more to provide a seamless experience.

What do revenue, retention and reputation all have in common? Yes, they all start with the letter R, but more importantly, they all revolve around the customer. And like those three words, everything in your business should too.
Your customers fuel your organization’s most important initiative: revenue. But increasing revenue would be nearly impossible without retaining the customers who impact your bottom line. How can you work to retain those customers as you continue to evolve, innovate and grow your business? Develop a consistent voice of the customer (VoC) program that meets your customer’s emotional needs and drives your brand’s reputation throughout each experience.

If you run your own business I know you do your best to please your customers, satisfy their needs, and eventually to keep them loyal to your brand. But how can you be sure that your efforts bring desired results? If you do not try to find out what your clients actually think about your service, you will never be able to give them the best customer experience. Their opinions about experience they have with your brand is helpful information that you can use to adjust your business to fit their needs more accurately.

First and foremost, the value of customers is that they are humans. This very basic fact should by itself be intriguing for businesses to transform their organization, culture, and business model to offer more of a human to human relationship. Now, I do understand that as businesses we are not there for charity. We are rather looking to increase the cash flow into our organization, reduce costs in order to make more profits by end of year. With no doubt, refocusing our model to be Human Centered and increasing Customer Satisfaction, will help us achieve our monetary targets.
Providing customers a more valuable experience will increase the value of your customers. Going back to a more business perspective on the topic, and to get in alignment with the executive suite’s “show me the money!” orientation, the return on customer centered efforts, whether in terms of expenditure or in terms of needed time should be quantified.

To improve customer satisfaction, a new report recommends companies prioritize people – particularly those on the front line.
Despite industry efforts to make improvements, customer satisfaction with contact center interactions haven’t changed in the past year, leaving lots of room for improvement. According to new research from the CFI Group, the 2017 Contact Center Satisfaction Index, consumer satisfaction with call center interactions scored an overall 68 out of 100, the same as last year. Property and casualty insurance contact centers beat the average with a score of 75, five points higher than last year. CFI credits this to more effective and empowered associates, two leading factors the group believes contribute to increased satisfaction. Telecom service centers also increased from 63 to 65.

Embracing direct feedback from your customers can help you learn a lot about what your company is doing right and what you might improve upon to be more successful. Online customer surveys are one way to gather insight.
Like any method of customer research, their usefulness depends on how well they’re planned and executed. And one of the most important components of planning a survey is crafting the questions it will include.

Getting customer feedback is essential to contact center, customer service and voice of the customer (VOC) leaders and managers. Without it, the contact center operates in a vacuum, and customer service and satisfaction suffers as a result.
In this age of empowered consumers, traditional survey methods won’t get you the insights you need. In fact, response rates for paper-based surveys are just 10%.1 Today’s organizations need a new solution.

Our members tell us what we are good at and where we need to get better. We use feedback from customer satisfaction surveys and industry measurements such as J.D. Power. This information is pure gold because you can dissect it to discover where you need to improve, says David Bano, chief claims officer at Nationwide. It’s like a math equation where you remove pieces to make customer interactions quicker and more convenient.
It’s important to listen to positive and negative feedback equally.
