For a period in human history, all we had were spoken words. Later we learned to communicate through written symbols and today it seems the most preferred communication medium is words shared through video. Great customer experience brands are not only “visual storytellers” but they are supporting their customers as those brand loyalists visually communicate about their brand journey.

Who are the right employees to hire for customer-facing positions? You’ll be most successful if you select your customer-facing team based on the following psychological traits , even before you start thinking about the specific skill set you’re looking for. The crucial customer-centric traits are contained in my acronym “WETCO.” (Goofy but effective suggestion: You’ll never forget this if you picture a wet dog standing outside the PETCO superstore.).

Most organizations used to lump customers into 2 simple categories: New customers and “the rest of them.” New customer acquisition is often used to gauge success – the more we gain, the better we’re doing! And what about “the rest of them?” They’re all getting automatically e-charged and they seem happy because they’re not complaining.

I’m always talking to people in customer experience roles about the importance of executive buy-in. Other executives should feel connected to the work you’re doing, and ultimately that should move towards one-company leadership. Now everyone is ideally on the same page, and making decisions that benefit a customer-driven growth engine. Not every company gets there, but in recent years you’ve seen more and more companies trying to align silos and collaborate better.

In 1971 a study famously concluded that only 7% of communication is verbal. However, this often-quoted statistic not only undermines the effectiveness of spoken communications but the comprehensive nature of the research itself. The piece’s author – Professor Mehrabian of UCLA – found that 55% of communication is about body language. He also reasoned that 38% is about the way people speak rather than the words used.

Childhood bullying gets a lot of attention these days, but bullying and other bad behavior can be just as destructive in the workplace as on the playground. Over the years, I’ve seen people with poor social and interpersonal skills unnecessarily make life miserable – not just for themselves, but for everyone else in the workplace. For managers and executives, poor relationships with employees and customers are one of the surest ways to undermine any efforts to create a positive customer experien

They are often so enamored with a unique cavalcade of color one of them will hold the kaleidoscope very still and pass it to a sister so that exact image can be shared. Profoundly remarkable service is like a kaleidoscope.

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.
