Most businesses believe that they are “customer-centric.” Most customers disagree. This is the “CX Perception Gap” or the “Delivery Gap” – whereby companies think that they are focussing on their customers, but customers just aren’t feeling it.
Having an awareness of this discrepancy can only serve to improve CX as it shows that the standard CX trends and tactics don’t do much to impress customers.

Though 80% of senior decision makers in the UK rate their customer service as ‘excellent’, their customers aren’t feeling quite the same. Our report ‘The Good, The Bot and The Customer Experience’ found there is a significant disconnect between what customers expect and what brands think they are delivering.
In fact, a whopping 91% of UK consumers say they have been left feeling frustrated by the customer service they receive, with top grievances including being left on hold too long and needing to repeat their issue multiple times.
