The days of quick customer experience wins through digital and mobile innovation are gone and organisations must tackle the more complex task of overhauling their culture in order to find sustainable improvement.
That was the consensus across panellists at CMO’s breakfast event, entitled ‘Creating more Intelligent Customer Customers’, held in Melbourne on 22 May. IAG executive GM of customer futures, Customer Labs division, Jill Baptist, said the emphasis of her team is on understanding how to cut through the noise and achieve that next level in customer engagement.

Numerous studies on customer experience (CX) highlight the crucial role company culture plays in delivering a great customer experience. Yet very few casino operators have addressed cultural issues in their endeavors to improve customer experience.
Organizational culture, simply stated, comprises the values, norms and behaviors that determine the social and psychological environment of the organization. While virtually every gaming company has the word “customer” in its mission statement and values statements, the operational ethos of the workplace is often at odds with the stated mission and values.

Engaging with customers and collecting their feedback is a competitive edge available to any enterprise willing to invest in data management, process optimisation, and creative design. Insights from customers collected through surveys and other feedback mechanisms are the backbone of Customer Experience (CX) management.

There is often a rigorous debate about what metrics you should collect with your Voice of the Customer (VoC) programme, such as Net Promoter Score®, Customer Satisfaction and Effort score, to name a few.

Customer insight is the heart of every customer experience (CX) program. But in today’s information-saturated world, customers may not always notice or respond to feedback invitations.

Here are five actions companies can take to take their feedback gathering to the next level.

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.

According to the latest Customer Experience in Marketing Survey 2017: Greater Expectations, Greater Challenges, in two years 82 per cent of B2B CMOs expect to mostly or completely compete on the basis of CX, compared with 76 per cent for B2C marketers.
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.

Have you ever purchased something, somewhere? If so, then surely you’ve felt this particular pain: Along with your bag of goods comes all kinds of marginally necessary offers and calls to action. And, if you take “almost no time at all” to complete the retailer’s robust questionnaire, you — yes you! — might be the proud recipient of some type of prize.
A study by Interaction Metrics discovered that, despite good intentions of improving customer happiness and overall experience, retailers are largely wasting customers’ time — and their own — by conducting flawed satisfaction surveys.

$1.6 trillion: That’s not the GDP of a nation. According to Accenture, it’s the amount of money businesses in the U.S. lost in 2017 due to customers switching to their competitors because of poor customer experiences (CX).
As competitive pressure increases, businesses need to set themselves apart — and a superior CX will do the trick.
