The CX topic we need to address more

Customer Bliss

As I’ve been doing more episodes of my customer experience podcast , I’m increasingly hearing more stories about omni-channel collaboration and experiences. I love that.

Patients Deserve Better Designed Experiences

Experience Matters

I’ve recently spent some time visiting different hospitals, luckily not as a patient. There are a lot of amazing things that happen in hospitals, as the medical field continues to push the envelope on diagnostics and treatments.

20 Damn Good Ways to Express Empathy to a Customer

Myra Golden

When I hear an excellent, and genuine, expression of empathy from a company, I make a note of it. I’ll tell Siri to capture what I heard, or I’ll just type it out. I save ridiculously good empathy statements so that I can share them with my clients.

Create an Offline Form with Your Chatbot

LiveChat

When you’re out of the office or you’re asleep, chances are you set up an offline form on your website. This way, customers can leave you their contact details and ask a question and you respond once you’re back in your LiveChat app. Unfortunately, this one-way communication draws the customers away sometimes. After all, they don’t want to send a message “in the void” and wait for a response for who knows how long.

Coupling CX Data Collection with Decision-Making Isn’t As Hard As You Think

SurveyGizmo

“It’s an interesting time to study and talk about customer experience because there’s still no one size fits all approach,” says Blake Morgan, a Forbes contributor. “In fact most people don’t even agree on who should drive customer experience, let alone ‘own’ it.”.
