Soft trends are those that may or may not continue and can likely be affected by events or action taken by companies, governments, or individuals.

'Last week was as manic as they get for me. Prague, Oxford, London and Copenhagen were all on my itinerary in a mad, exciting and fruitful five days. Despite all the travelling I do these days, I am still someone who gets excited about travelling to places I have never been before. I often do not get much chance to see the sights and experience the culture, but I do get the opportunity to eat nice food, stay in good hotels and travel with well known operators.

'As I mentioned in my post about Amazon’s relentless customer advocacy , I recently attended the Arizona State University, Center for Services Leadership (CSL) Compete Through Service Symposium. One of the speakers was Ray Barton, Chairman of Great Clips. He had a great story, explaining how he led the company from a little four salon outfit in 1983 to a behemoth operation with 3,300 salons and 30,000 stylists.

When I speak to large groups, I always get a handful of people from the audience come up to me afterwards and say something they think is unique, but is something I hear over and over again. “I love what you say about caring about your customer’s experience! I totally get what you’re talking about. I sure wish the rest of my company would, too!

'Customer growth and profitability metrics must be connected clearly to customer experience to gain executive and board support and to warrant the investment of people, time and financial resources. To make this case, spend the time to understand the different accounting methods throughout the company. Forge a partnership with finance to cobble together the customer accounting approaches.

'Keeping employees happy and motivated is an agenda item that is on everyone lips, but little action seems to be happening. As a result, Employee Engagement is slipping as well, which is a problem for Customer Experience.

Probably the most important component of listening to the voice of the customer is acting on what you hear. In order to do that, we must first optimize how we are listening. What do I mean by that?

'Being There = Reliability. By creating reliability in the way you do business and delivering on the moments that matter (the moments of contact from the customer’s point of view), you earn the right to grow.

'People don’t fail, systems do. I first heard this quote while working at 1-800-GOT-JUNK? which originated from Peter Scholtes book “ The Leader’s Handbook.” After hearing this statement, it got me thinking, is it true? Are we, as people, not meant to fail? Instead, is it our environments that fail us? Is it the systems within our business that break down and cause missteps?
Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO
The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. 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.

Recently, I took a very early flight with British Airways (BA) out of Geneva airport and once again, BA staff demonstrated their excellent customer service. That morning Lionel was on duty and I appreciated the fact that he allowed me to have a quick coffee in the club lounge even though he had already called the flight. The rule in such circumstances is not to admit lounge access to passengers once the flight has been called.

'Do you allow Customers to use whatever channel they wish to communicate with you, or do you restrict them to one or two channels? The answer to this question can show how Customer centric your company is. Whether Customers are on the phone with your call center, chatting with your digital team online or talking face-to-face with an employee in a brick and mortar location, your channels need to present a united front to your Customers, providing them with the Customer Experience you designed.
