Happiness Affects How Consumers View Companies

Experience Matters

After an inspiring weekend at the 2017 World Congress of Positive Psychology in Montreal, I decided to take a look at some of our data that connects positive psychology with customer experience. I started by examining the question: Does the innate happiness of a consumer influence how she perceives her experiences with companies? The answer is yes! I analyzed the happiness of consumers (based on the degree to which they agree with the statement “ I am typically happy “) and the Temki

It’s never too late to get CX right

Customer Bliss

This will be a shorter post than normal, but I wanted to put this out there. Sometimes with clients or companies, I’ll hear a concern about launching a full-scale customer experience program because “we’re far behind on it” or, more vaguely, “we already have something like that.” The status quo wins out and sameness persists, even though it’s not engaging customers and rivals are chipping away at market share because of their experiences.

Surveys Kill Kittens

AskNicely

What is it that holds the internet up? Once you get past Facebook and Twitter and sports results and your company’s website, what’s underneath? What’s down in the engine room, powering the whole thing? What’s down in the basement, supporting the entire structure? Cat videos. That’s right. Cat videos. Those cute, little, furry procrastination machines, larking about with balls of wool, tumbling about on carpets, or in barns, or in all manner of delightful surrounding

3 Ways Retailers Can Improve Customer Experience With Their Contact Center

Calabrio

No one ever said working in retail was easy. There are long hours, narrow margins, heavy competition and the threat of loss at every turn. You spend most of the year in the red, hoping for a big holiday season, and sometimes it doesn’t happen. Succeeding in retail is tough and these days it’s much more difficult. Online retailers — of which Amazon is the most notable, but hardly the only — have completely changed the market landscape and put yet another pressure on this difficult market.

Winning Customer Experience – Simple Matters of Trust

Michelli Experience

Customer Experience and Trust…hmmm. Here’s three quick questions to engage your brain. 1) How would you answer the following? “Most people can be trusted” – True or False? 2) What percentage of Americans answered “True” to that question in 1964? and, 3) What percentage of Americans answered “True” to the same question in 2016? If I were a betting man, I would guess you answered “No” to question 1, underestimated on question 2, and may have been close on question 3.

Digital Humanism in the Customer Experience

Uniphore

Today, one of the main expectations regarding the customer experience is its level of personalization. However, often personalization in customer service solutions is merely a simulation of personalization, and a poor one at that. Despite the attempt to replicate the personal experiences shoppers used to experience when interacting with “mom and pop” shops, often times large organizations are simply unable to provide the same personal experience we used to receive.

Why The World is NOT Full of Guys

Steve DiGioia

please use the correct words This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. Respect. We all want it, need it and deserve it. But when we use words that have “no meaning” we carelessly speak with disrespect to our customers. Why do we continually refer to “everyone” as a guy?
