One of the best ways to engage with your happiest customers is to invite them to refer a friend or colleague (especially if they’ve just filled in a Net Promoter Score survey saying they’d happily do exactly that!). And, of course, you also want to take the chance to make your happy customer a little bit happier still, so offering some sort of reward for a referral is often a good idea.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

James Carville, political commentator and media personality coined the phrase, “The economy, Stupid,” for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. Carville was talking to the team at the time to help them focus on the key messages for Clinton’s campaign. The slogan resurfaced in the 2008 campaign as “It’s the economy, stupid.”. I decided that for people working in Customer Experience, we needed a way to stay on message, too.
