Experience Matters

I just heard that Pete Winemiller passed away, and it hit me hard. I knew that he had been battling cancer, but I thought that he was winning the fight. How could he not? Pete was one of the most positive people that I’ve ever met. The world lost a wonderful man… and a true customer experience trailblazer. […].

For many business-to-business (B2B) companies, relationships with customers are ongoing, which gives these companies the opportunity to improve on relationships over time. Typically, these companies first take the information they obtain from customer journey mapping to make internal improvements to their own processes with an eye toward making the customer experience better.

This post originally appeared in my regular column in Touchpoint Journal , published by the Service Design Network. I’ve been a fan of service design since my introduction to it in grad school —and an active champion of the discipline since my initial involvement with the Service Design Network back in 2010.

I get a lot of “what a cool job!” when I describe what I do. It sounds so glamorous. And everyone is a customer, so of course I hear about the worst customer service they ever had, or less frequently, the very best they’ve experienced. It is awesome. I love what I do. But as the idea of customer experience takes off, the mythology around it does, too.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

Failing customer experience initiatives are keeping business leaders up at night. According to an Accenture-commissioned study by Forrester Consulting, only seven percent of business leaders think that their company’s shopping experience exceeds customer expectations. Twenty-five percent admit that their company isn’t meeting expectations at all. CX is a huge business opportunity.

If you’ve been listening to my podcast — I can’t believe we’ve done 41 episodes — one of the topics that comes up a lot is talent strategy. That is somewhat of a broad term, but here I take it to mean “getting the best people possible and retaining them.” Most CCOs will mention talent strategy when they talk to me, either on my podcast or in client work.

Most companies have a tagline, a phrase or sentence that describes what they are about. Sometimes that doubles as a brand promise. Along those lines, I want you to come up with a customer service promise. For some companies, their tagline is their customer service promise. For example, Zappos.com’s tagline is Powered by Service. Three words that exhibit a commitment to the customer.

Know the definition of customer experience insanity? It was Albert Einstein who said: the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different resul t. Sadly, this is a concept that voice of the customer and customer experience professionals are quite familiar with. When these professionals continue using the same tools and the same processes over and over again, yet find they're not making any progress, well, that's customer experience insanity.

We are fortunate enough to have two homes; one in England and one in the U.S. However, we are unfortunate enough to have two telecom providers; Virgin Media in England and Brighthouse, now Spectrum in Florida. Neither of them provides a Customer Experience worth mentioning—at least not in a positive light. Telecoms are bad at CX around the globe! Back in 2012, we did some research involving over 40 telecoms.

In a year of lackluster Super Bowl ads, one brand that stood out was a spot for antioxidant infusion drink Bai Brands, recently acquired by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. The ad featured Christopher Walken reciting the lyrics for the 2000 N’SYNC hit “Bye Bye Bye,” accompanied by N’SYNC veteran Justin Timberlake looking on quizzically. The commercial combined humor with nostalgia to appeal to multiple demographics, targeting both Generation X audiences old enough to remember Walken in his

Customer service is what I’m all about. It is my life’s mission to help companies create a customer service experience that customers think is amazing. So, I thought it would be nice to own the domain name CustomerService.com. But, surely some company that is totally focused on their customers would already own it. So, I typed the URL into the Internet browser and found out… it was for sale.

When we meet new clients at our customer experience consultancy, they often tell us they create value for their customers by offering low prices. They think “value” means “price,” and they believe that customers want to save money more than anything else. There are two major problems with this kind of thinking. First, it doesn’t take an economist with an Ivy League degree to see that cutting prices can only go so far.
