The term “customer experience” usually conjures up images of individual customers in retail or other business-to-consumer (B2C) environments. I am often asked about business-to-business (B2B) as a separate experience. After speaking on overall customer experience themes, for example, audience members will approach with the B2B questions: Why should we care about customer experience in B2B?

“How do you keep people engaged when you’re collecting ongoing insight?” is a common question we get asked. The only way to maintain fast, agile access to a group of opted-in, richly profiled customers that you can collect feedback from over time, is to find the magic to engage them so that you continue to obtain their consent.

In the old days – and even in modern times – if a customer wanted help or support, they picked up the phone and called for help. A (hopefully) friendly and competent customer service professional, also known as an agent or representative, would answer the question or resolve the problem. Today there are many ways to connect with a company. There’s the traditional phone call, email, messaging, instant chat, social channels like Twitter and Facebook, and many more.

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.

As business and technology evolve, it’s vital that companies move from being business-driven, product-driven, or sales-driven to being customer-driven. Customers have more platforms on which to voice their opinions and share their experiences, positive or negative. They have a higher expectation of being heard and considered by the companies they patronize.

A quick trip down memory lane reminds us that the 1990s saw a massive rise in the practice of offshoring call centers. With the convergence of economic factors and technological advancement, it was seen as the cheap alternative for companies who required basic customer support solutions. But times change – and so do customers. Today’s consumers expect personalized experiences – especially in complex care scenarios that transcend basic, transactional interactions.

AI-powered chatbots are so 2018. This year, it’s all about agent-facing AI. The ironic thing about this statement is that it makes it sound like agent-facing AI is just a fad. No doubt there has been a lot of talk about how AI can be used to help improve customer-facing interactions – but there’s more to AI than meets the eye. Truth be told, internal uses of AI have just as much disruptive power as chatbots if not more – and are also far simpler to deploy and far quicker to generate positive ROI
