Are you sending out CX (customer experience) surveys days or even weeks after the customer interaction? If so, have you considered what the consumer’s experience of that might be and how that impacts on their perception of your brand? Or have you thought about some of the great opportunities the delay in your process precludes? Do you wonder what impact the delay has on future survey engagement or worse, customer loyalty?
These are some of the questions covered up in this post. The importance of capturing feedback in real-time should not be underestimated, particularly if you want to impact CX on an individual customer basis. While it is relatively easy to achieve in an online environment, it is much more challenging in a brick-and-mortar context, so I will offer some ideas on how to do it at the end of the post.

Meaning that competing on price and product or a combination of both is becoming much less important. This is big, really big, because creating great customer experiences will require tenacity, dedication, long term thinking, integration of data, collaboration and a cross company approach where everyone is involved. No. Mean. Feat.

Many companies are striving to launch customer experience (CX) programs that will improve their growth, margin, and customer retention. In working with our clients, one of the challenges we see is a tendency to view CX as a tactical effort–something designed to seek out and resolve customer annoyances, particularly in customer service interactions. As a result, company’s CX focus can be narrowed to activities like enhancing customer care processes, front-line employee performance, customer care hiring, and call center training. While these are all good and necessary efforts, this sort of myopia misses the point of what CX really is and what it can do for your company.

There’s a power shift happening in the customer journey, wherein audiences rather than brands are in control. Brands are operating in an environment where trust in corporations, advertising, and political leaders is diminishing rapidly. This puts customers in the driver’s seat—giving them power over which brands sink or swim. Getting to the truth has never mattered more—and customer experiences may be the solution.
