My immediate answer to this is no – there’s a ton of good work happening to improve customers’ experience. But that’s a qualitative response, informed largely by the great work I see our clients doing. Unfortunately, if you read surveys about the current state of the customer experience, you may come away with a different […]. The post Is Customer Experience a Missed Opportunity?

Some people might say that the secret to a successful customer feedback survey campaign is quantity. If you send out enough surveys, you’re bound to get some responses eventually, right? Wrong. While this approach might have worked in the past, the modern customer isn’t eager to take time out of their busy day to take any survey. Today, to collect the best customer data you must ask the right questions while also providing the ideal customer experience. .

I have always been surprised by the massive wealth of data in academia that doesn’t get used. The reason, I believe, is the language. The way academic research is written is like a reading a legal brief; it’s impenetrable. You come away from it thinking the person who wrote it is very clever, but don’t understand what he or she said at all. My co-author and podcast co-host Professor Ryan Hamilton jokes that academic research is not written for a human audience.

Most of today's SaaS businesses already have a Customer Success department built in order to improve the experience provided to their customers and to help them achieve the desired outcomes. We all know that an organization is not going to be fully successful until customers are put at the core of the business. One of the factors that will lead to a company's success is to make sure that Customer Success is properly done internally, before manifesting it externally.

In December, The New York Times reported that disgruntled Arizonans were lobbing rocks at Waymo’s autonomous (but not unoccupied) vans. Experts, and the rock-throwers themselves, blamed the attacks on a combination of economic anxiety and safety fears (a woman was struck and killed by a self-driving Uber in Tempe last March). While it’s unlikely any modern-day Luddites attended last week’s CES in Vegas, companies like Intel and Baidu, and even Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao were hard at wo

The event was packed and the news was good—2018 retail sales were up, thanks to a more integrated digital/physical experience and high consumer confidence. And while stores won’t be going away anytime soon, there was constant emphasis on digital as part of the retail experience rather than a separate entity.

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. Customer onboarding, or the customer’s first impression of you, is critical to forging lasting relationships and long-term success.

According to an NTT DATA study, the majority (62%) of customers report they are unable to accomplish their goals online, such as searching for a doctor, accessing health records, or paying bills.

Your call center is (like most) focused on delivering great customer service while keeping your costs low. That’s fair enough: your budget only stretches so far and every cent counts. But while maintaining a tight grip on your finances is sensible, it’s all too easy for the quality of your service to suffer as a result.

“I’m just checking in to see how things are going. Is there anything I can be doing to help?”. Ever been confronted with a question like that one?

So, you’ve decided you want to incorporate chatbots in your customer service mix—great idea. But before you start considering options, it’s crucial to understand the different use cases for chatbots and determine which one is right for your company’s specific needs and goals. It’s a mistake to think of bots as a one-size-fits all solution. Take the case of Nordnet and SEB , two leading Swedish banks, both of whom incorporated the same virtual assistant, Amelia, on their websites.
