The same can be said of customer centricity. Customer centricity doesn’t happen overnight. If you want to build a customer-centric culture at your company, then you’d better be able to live with process and incremental improvement. If we boil it down to its essence, there’s a five-step process to customer centricity. Customer-centric culture is a matter of commitment at all levels of your business.

Picture your customers, darting across the water on jet skis, able to make quick water-spray turns to their heart's content. What I’m saying is, in this age of customer fluidity and freedom, your turning radius is not ideal. In contrast, your customers and clients are incredibly lightweight and agile. But over time, as customers develop new needs and issues, your not-so-nimble ship might also become not-so-useful for them. Imagine an ocean scene.

Customer-Centric Marketing: Step-Up Performance Lynn Hunsaker. Customer-centric marketing is necessary, yet far from sufficient — from customers’ and investors’ perspectives. Thankfully, many companies have been migrating away from product-centric, month/quarter-end-centric and competitor-centric marketing, toward putting the individual or most profitable customer at the center of marketing design and delivery.

Many organizations today want to effectively embed the voice of the customer into daily activities—their effectiveness will largely depend on how well the senior executive team embraces the CX effort. In fact, if I had to select a single characteristic of a truly customer-centric company, this would be it. In my new blog for Customer Think , I discuss concrete examples of how executives set the tone for other employees to follow.

Australian National tyre retail chain Beaurepaires uses inQuba’s real-time Customer Experience (CX) management solutions to enable them to know what their customers really want – and how to give it to them. For Rob Lewis, vice president of Beaurepaires, a network of 230 Australian tyre retail outlets owned by Goodyear, the idea of customer centricity was something the company desired, but didn’t really know how to go about implementing.

Have you noticed that your customers have changed? 79% of customers say they want brands to demonstrate that they care before they will consider a purchase. They have raised the bar on how they view customer experience. And 76% of customers say the level of customer service you provide is the true test of how much your organization values them. The kind of service that takes the customers’ breath away! What chair is reserved for your customers?

Know the definition of customer experience insanity? Sadly, this is a concept that voice of the customer and customer experience professionals are quite familiar with. When these professionals continue using the same tools and the same processes over and over again, yet find they're not making any progress, well, that's customer experience insanity. I spoke at an event last week on the topic of disrupting voice of the customer programs.

In this post, we’ll talk about how that theory applies to customer experience. Customer experience strategy should be approached in the same way. Great customer experience takes a lot of work. Depending on your organization, you may have to sit through meetings, phone calls, demos, conferences, and discussions—before your effort reaches a single customer. And once you have a customer experience management plan in place, well—then there’s even more work to do.

When it comes to the profession that Customer Experience has now become, one of the most important and significant competencies required by all organisations is that of measurement. The ability of a company to robustly and continuously capture a ‘fact based’ understanding of how capable they are of meeting customer needs and expectations is critical if they have a desire to achieve customer focused success. Failure to measure sufficient ‘voices’!

I've seen several posts lately about CX being all talk and no action - that it's a lot of effort to pull off a customer experience transformation (and no doubt, it is!) Lots of effort has been put forth to improve the customer experience, with no apparent improvements. And customers are still complaining.
