Last week I had a fascinating conversation with a peer of mine – a fellow Customer Experience Professional. James Dodkins is as passionate about transforming organisations to become sustainably customer centric as I am. Like me, James regularly comes across organisations who talk about ‘putting the customer first’ – a statement that is hard to immediately disagree with.

They might tie results to compensation or be used to coach front-line employees. .

An angry customer is still a customer—until they’re not. That’s why it’s important to keep your cool when concerned customers reach out to your brand, especially in the age of social media, where a misstep can go viral quickly. Keeping a level head can de-escalate the immediate issue, while also cementing existing loyalty and even transforming a consumer who might be new to your brand into a regular.

I’ve written about the customer service gap before. The first version referred to the gap between you and your competitors. You want the gap to be wide. It means you are putting yourself further ahead of your competition and picking up market share. The second version of the gap focused on narrowing the distance between you and your customers. The closer you are to your customers, and the more you are meeting their needs, the narrower the gap is between you and your customer.
