Access to information is key to the success of any customer service team, whatever channel you use. But for this success to happen, this information can’t be siloed. For your company to thrive, your departments and the teams that comprise them must be on the same page at all times. For customer service, that means collecting, centralizing, and sorting important information into a well-crafted internal knowledge base.

The last time you looked up product reviews, which ones did you notice first, 5-star, or 1-star? Also, how many 5-star reviews does it take to offset a 1-star review? Probably more than one. Today, I’m talking about why that is, and it comes down to two words that describe our instinctive behavior: Negativity Bias. We discussed Negativity Bias on a recent podcast.

Interactive voice response (IVR) systems are the gatekeepers to the contact center. As such, they set the tone for the entire interaction. Does your gatekeeper welcome everyone in with little friction, or is your IVR system more like the troll under the bridge, barring the way until customers answer the riddles correctly? Contact centers can meet self-service goals with their IVRs while still delivering good CX.

This is a crazy idea, but hear me out. When I was a kid, we had home-cooked meals almost every night. I thought my mom was the greatest cook in the world. She could make the best chicken. As a matter of fact, she made chicken almost every night. It turns out she could follow a recipe and had bought a book that had 365 chicken recipes—one for each day of the year.

The concept of a Chief Customer Officer (CCO or, sometimes, CXO) is still pretty fresh for a lot of organizations. I’ve even posted a video to go over some of the simple questions like, Why should you have a CCO and what are the benefits? But just what a CCO is sometimes feels foreign, even though the responsibilities are pretty simple to analogize to other leadership roles in any organization.

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.

It refers to the premise of the story: A time of despair and suffering on one hand, and joy and hope on the other. And it's how we began our story of two B2B customer support departments.

Three Root Causes and Their Solutions. At Decooda, we believe that underperforming CX programs have three distinct root causes: 1) Lack of Strategic and Structural Alignment. 2) Misunderstanding the True Voice of Customers and Employees. 3) Little connection between the Employee Experience and Customer Experience. For example, why do businesses still support siloes between Customer Experience (CX), Data, Digital, Employee Experience (EX), Enterprise Technology, Human Resources, and Marketing?
