What Comes First: Big Business Decisions –Or– Customer Experience?

Kerry Bodine

Over the past year, I’ve had several prospective clients get excited about improving their customer experience—and then postpone their CX initiatives because they first need to “prioritize defining the business requirements” or because they’re about to “embark on a major org change.”.

Earn Customer Desire and the Right to Grow

Customer Bliss

I’m introducing a new word for you to consider: desire. Its time to replace the word ‘loyalty’ with the word desire. What I’ve experienced and observed is that ‘loyalty’ can be something to go get from customers, rather than something to be earned.

Food for Thought: Three Customer Experience Best Practices

PeopleMetrics

As a teenager, while sweating my way through a series of character-building summer jobs, I did a stint as a waiter in a hotel. Every week, I rotated through three dining areas: a diner, a bar, and a fine-dining room. It was a good scenario for learning the basics of dealing with people. It also taught me how good customer experience strategy depends on meeting the expectations of individual customers.
