During my career as a Customer Experience Professional, my opinions, points of views and suggestions have been rebuffed on many an occasion. I have been accused of being lots of things over those years – from being ‘emotionally immature’, to ‘ignorant’, to perhaps the most humiliating of all – ‘insignificant’! At the time, the branding of me and my profession in this way was very hard to take.

The same can be said for great service cultures. Leaders are responsible for “creating the right environment” for world-class customer experiences to occur. Take Starbucks as an example. . .

How many times have you finished off the last bite of your lunch and wished that there was either more food, or you had more time to spend? For people in support, the emotional implications of our work can carry through even when we are not on the clock—for some of us, that may show up as checking our phones right before bed for CSAT scores, for others, it may be overthinking how we could have made a support interaction better while finishing up the last scraps of leftover macaroni and cheese.

The sixteenth article for my column on Customer Think sees me create the longest title of the lot! During my career, every time I have had to endure…. I mean enjoy the pleasure of a job interview, I have always wondered just who should be interviewing who!

Unless your company was intentionally built from the ground up to not function in silos - and you're lucky, and unique, if it was - then silos are an issue for you and for your customers. We all know how detrimental silos can be not only to the customer experience but also to an organization.

Building lasting customer relationships has always been top-of-mind for businesses. However, in the last decade, organizations have recognized that the customer journey beyond the initial sale is as critical as the sale itself.
