Organizations use lots of incentives to encourage specific behaviors. The idea is that people will change behavior because of the monetary element of incentives. However, these incentives could be doing a lot more than that, which can have beautiful or terrible effects on your customer-driven growth. Ph.D. student Alicea “Allie” Lieberman from the University of California, San Diego, was a guest on our podcast recently to discuss incentives.

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.

COVID-19 is impacting all dimensions of the workplace, from where we work to how we interact with customers and co-workers. Further, it has highlighted the need for schedule flexibility as more employees work from home and are faced with other constraints such as school closures and childcare. With most companies in or moving toward a work-from-home model, a cloud-enabled remote workforce is the new imperative.

The coronavirus pandemic has ushered in a new way of life for people around the world. And, no big shocker here: Our collective behavior is impacting businesses large and small.

COVID-19 is challenging for everyone, and especially for organizations who play important roles in supporting their communities.

It’s probably safe to say that few of our organizations, no matter how well-meaning, eased perfectly into these new routines of working from home and distancing ourselves physically from our workplaces, our colleagues, our teams and our customers. There is a myth that customer-centric cultures happen by intuition and a little magic. “Their people just get it!

We need to better understand shoppers. Why? Because retail is in crisis. Investment in bricks and mortar stores has declined 30% in the US and a staggering 50% in Europe. In the UK 50,000 of the 500,000 high street stores are empty , that’s a whopping 10%. But that level can even be higher, double or triple that in some parts of the country. The government in the UK just upped its rescue fund to a billion pounds and slashed its rates in the hope of lowering rents.

With technology’s rapid evolution, convenience and self-service from decades ago don’t quite measure up to today’s expectations. The days where a simple IVR system did the trick are long-gone. Today’s consumers want more convenience — and they’ll take their business elsewhere to get it. For contact centers, it’s an ideal opportunity to rise to the challenge.

A few months ago, no company or business would have thought to prepare for a pandemic. However, everyone is currently experiencing an unprecedented situation, which has forced us to stand back, breathe and think. Even though companies are usually taking a step back in times of crisis (for example, during the global economic recession of 2007-2009), this case is totally different.

Coronavirus has entirely changed the notion of working from home. Almost overnight, millions of people have been asked or ordered to leave the office and work remotely to help contain the spread of the virus, while trying to continue operations ‘as normal’. Many industries and companies find themselves in one of three camps: it’s had a negative impact on them, they are fortunate that their service or product is less affected by these circumstances, or they are benefiting from it.

What is Social Proof? Consumers are influenced by other people more than they realize — or are willing to admit. This is what makes the concept of social proof a powerful one. First coined by Robert Cialdini in Influence , social proof (sometimes called informational social influence) is often described as a psychological and social phenomenon in which people assume the actions of others in order to best reflect what is considered correct behavior for any given situation.
