Self-service and customer relations: provide autonomy to your customers. According to a Zendesk study, the main reasons for customer dissatisfaction are the multiplication of online contributors (57%) and a resolution time that is too long for 46% of respondents. A customer who fails to find an immediate solution to his problem will put an end to his journey and can even end up doing business with your competitors.

Experience Management (XM) programs often rely on one or more key metrics that track items such as likely to recommend, satisfaction, effort, or engagement. As I’ve written in the past, the success or failure of these metrics often has little to do with the actual metric. Instead, the key to success is the program that is wrapped around those numbers (see our 5 steps for an effective CX metrics program).

We can even see what friends of our friends had for dinner. One of the other ways social media changed our lives is in how we interact with brands.

The fact that time is a completely made-up component in nature was one of the hardest concepts to get your head around in high school physics class. All of nature knows night from day, but your dog is clueless about what 9:30 means. When we tell someone, “Why don’t we meet in an hour,” we are not only operating on a “made up” agreement regarding the precise moment of rendezvous, we are relying on a made up understanding of what “an hour” means.

In the updated and revised edition of The Cult of the Customer , I cover the concept of amazement. This may be old news to my followers, but it is worth repeating. Amazement does not come from a WOW or over-the-top experience. Those happen on occasion, especially when problems are handled well. But on a day to day basis, amazement happens when you deliver experiences that are consistently and predictably above average.
