Are you planning to email a survey, but writing the subject line is holding you back? . Do you fear that any subject line you’d come up with would fail to engage your audience? I’m not surprised. 35% of recipients open emails based on the subject line alone, after all. So, it’s safe to assume the success of your email survey and its response rate depend on your ability to write catchy subject lines.

Experience Matters

NOVEMBER 26, 2018

You might have heard Qualtrics discussing X-data (experience data) and O-data (operational data), and wondered, should we care? The answer is yes, and here’s why. Let’s start with a basic premise that no individual experience exists in a vacuum. People form their opinions about any experience based on a collection of different factors. The more we can understand those factors, the better we can extrapolate the insights about a single personal experience to form a deeper understanding

NPS Benchmarks are increasingly of interest. However, it’s not just about “what is a good NPS score?” Advanced NPS users know the most value is had by taking the score out of the boardroom and straight to the frontline staff. So, what does that winning process unlock for them? New research shows it can increase a company’s likelihood of net-negative churn and faster revenue growth.

I don’t go to a store looking for a product these days. What’s more, it occurred to me a couple of years ago that I no longer Google products that I want to buy; I “Amazon” them. I suspect many of you do the same. In many ways, Amazon-ing products is a result of the digital transformation. We have stores where we can purchase things, and then we have their online channels where we are buying things also.

Telegrams first gave way to the telephone which were then made obsolete by smartphones. Everything around us is evolving and so is customer service. Most businesses today have three or four channels of communication that allows customers to reach to them via phone, email, live chat and so on. But instead of waiting for problems to appear and then go about solving them, why not anticipate customer demands in advance?

This is not some get rich quick scheme. If you’ve manage an aging contact center, then you’ve probably identified several inefficiencies which limit your success. Maybe it’s high agent turnover or absenteeism. Maybe its call volumes that exceed contact center capacity. Whatever the reason, when troubles reduce the contact center to nothing more than a tightly managed expense, it becomes very difficult to ask for improvements.

Twenty years ago began a shift to contact center outsourcing to offshore locations, especially the Philippines and India, and away from the local market where customers on the other end of the phone were located. Brands had a very clear business case to cut contact center labor costs by outsourcing to lower-cost offshore locations. First generation ACDs (Automatic Call Distributors) plus significant global telephony and Internet build-outs of the dot-com age made this technically feasible.

In the past, I’ve written and talked about “ Telling Your Story.” The idea is that you look to create the “legendary” type of stories that come from your employees and set the bar for the customer experience you want to deliver. Probably the best example is the famous Nordstrom story where a customer returned a set of used tires to a Nordstrom – and the store employee gave the customer a refund.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
