Last week I wrote an article on the subject of ‘common sense’ To be more accurate, I wrote about the lack of common sense and how it’s absence was continuing to destroy customer experiences all over the world. One of the stories featured in the article was about United Airlines and their much publicised PR disaster caused by the practice of overbooking flights.

This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. What do your customers expect from you? Do you live up to their expectations or only reach your own perceived “ceiling” of service? Are you “good enough”? Maybe. But good enough for whom? Once we believe we have little to learn about the needs of our customer we no longer deserve their business – and shouldn’t expect it.

Anyone can design a customer feedback survey. It’s just a bunch of questions about things that you, your boss, your marketing department, and perhaps an executive or two want to know about your customers. Simply collect the questions from everyone who wants to know about your customers, build the survey, and wait for the results. Stop! If you believe any of what you just read and you have any type of customer feedback survey in place now, you are likely hurting your company’s reputation.

It’s no secret that people are resistant to change - and when it comes to organizational change, their resistance might be even stronger. This is one of the many challenges CX leaders face today as they are tasked with driving their company’s transformation to a customer-centric organization.

Those first months of writing were pretty interesting. If you ever plan to start blogging, do not - let me repeat - do not watch the site stats.

Customers today don’t believe that commerce needs to take place on one channel to the exclusion of another. Younger customers, in particular, have come of age lacking the sense of limitations that their elders have long been forced to accept, and they apply this sense of a boundary-less world to all areas of their life as consumers. They don’t think it’s reasonable, for example, for your business to fail to honor your online pricing in your store (or vice versa), or if you refuse to honor a gift

Guest post by Matt Dixon. Consumers today prefer to do things on their own – and, most importantly, according to their own timeframe. This especially holds true when it comes to customer service.

There are too many people in organizations that do not tell their bosses and senior management the reality of the situation. It’s like the story of the emperor’s new clothes. No one would tell the emperor that the beautiful new clothes he’d commissioned didn’t really exist. So the emperor paraded through the streets stark naked until a young child finally told the truth: “But he hasn’t got anything on!”.

Menus can tell you a lot about a restaurant. Some menus have limited choices; some have way too many. Some have language like “no substitutions,” “salad bar extra,” or “breakfast only served until 10:30 a.m.”. Some show you pictures of their featured meals; some have crazy entre names like “Whoopee burger” or “Don’s Big Mess.” There are restaurants that communicate what they think of young guests by the size of their “children’s menu.
