While it’s impossible to predict exactly what the new year will bring, some clear trends are emerging as we think about what customer and employee experience will look like in 2023. As we’ve seen over the past couple of years, customers will expect interactions to be frictionless, personalized, 24/7, and faster than ever. What’s different about 2023 is that brands will face the unprecedented challenge of meeting these growing demands amid an ongoing war for talent and mounting cost pressures.

Many companies underestimate the value of customer trust and loyalty when it comes to driving higher revenue growth. It might sound counterintuitive, but convincing existing customers to return is more important than gaining new ones. This is because the cost of finding new customers is far higher than the cost of selling to existing customers. In fact, returning customers spend 67% more than first-time buyers.

I’ll often describe CX in terms of an analogy to other operations within your company. If it’s to make an impact, it should have a charter that includes responsibility for and the moving parts needed to drive changes. Otherwise, there’s no point in having a CX department in the first place. The conversation usually comes as a side note to the dreaded ROI of CX discussion.

There’s a lot that goes into creating statistically sound research, but few elements are as important as getting the right sample size. This is because the size of your sample can have a direct impact on your findings. If your chosen sample is too small, your results will likely be inconclusive. On the other hand, overly large samples can make minor differences appear statistically significant while also increasing the time and resource demands of collecting and cleaning the data.

When our waiter flagged us down by the door, I assumed we had left something behind or forgotten to sign the credit card slip or something. My husband and I were walking out of a restaurant with our two boys, who were 9 and 12 at the time, while on vacation in Florida several years ago. I was so surprised when our server made such an effort to stop us to say that he appreciated how polite our boys were. “Please and thank yous aren’t very common anyway, but especially from kids.
