This morning I sent an email to my payroll provider. Not to a generic inbox, but to the real live person who’s assigned my account. A moment later, I received the following auto response: “XXXXX XXXXXXX is no longer employed with us. His inbox is being monitored while your account is transitioned to a new dedicated specialist. Please call 877-XXX-XXXX to speak with the first available specialist.”.

Why do companies still try to cheat their customers? Is it because they think we won’t notice? Or do they think there are enough people willing to buy their brand for the first time, that they don’t need to worry about getting that second purchase? Either way, they haven’t hear that the most important attribute a brand needs to build is trust!

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

Earlier today I got into a silly conversation with a friend about one of the biggest issues that we face today – Which donuts are better, those from Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme? Regardless of the answer, this question brought me back to one of the earliest posts that I wrote on my blog and I wanted to share it with you. Here goes….

When we talk about the "customer experience", some also think "customer journey" and mistakenly use these interchangeably. These terms can be confusing and difficult to follow, but it’s actually a simple distinction. First, yes, they are two different things. Second, yes, they both require your attention. What’s important to realize is that the journey is much more insightful for business planning and growth because it offers a more detailed look at every move the customer makes.

Here’s a true story shared by my friend and speaking colleague Beth Terry. The short version is that there is a doctor, who is probably a good doctor. But he’s a terrible boss. When a patient – as in his customer – complains about something, he listens and then goes back to his employees, and in a knee-jerk reaction, he berates and punishes them by taking away their incentives.

I have covered my experience using Twitter to solve a support problem in a previous article. For many CX (and definitely Customer support ) professionals, the channel is ‘the thing’. We often talk about switching channels, being multi-channel, being omni -channel. It sometimes seems like an obsession. A colleague recently posted in one of the online discussion forums to which I belong in all caps (which I’ll spare you here) that “nobody” likes being moved from one channel to another.
