Contact center trends can directly impact success. But in an industry — and world — evolving at lightning speed, it’s harder than ever to keep up and to know which ones matter most. For the greatest impact and a clear competitive edge, contact center leaders must choose wisely when making business decisions about the trends to prioritize and implement in their organizations — because all change, even positive change, costs time and resources.

JUST RELEASED! The Northridge Group’s State of CX 2023 Part II research report reveals that nearly half of consumers surveyed had knowingly spoken to a customer service associate working from home—and almost 75% of those respondents felt the associate's location did not impact the service or experience. So why do more than ⅓ of business leaders want contact center associates back in the office?

Top Takeaways: When an organization makes customers feel special by getting something that appears to be hard to get, they endear customers to the company and make them feel connected to the brand. Our brains are wired in a certain way to react to scarcity. Businesses can use this in a positive way to emphasize value and communicate how working with them through their products or services is in their customers’ best interest.

You’re missing out if your company isn’t creating an experience for its female shoppers. Female shoppers influence 86% of all household spending. Worldwide, they control and influence $43 trillion of spending. Companies often neglect their female demographic, catering to their male shoppers’ more utilitarian needs and desires. Making minor adjustments could attract more female shoppers.

The respective directors of the customer success team and the product team were really going at it. The meeting we were in was supposed to be a forum where the two teams could trade notes and collaborate on the product roadmap. Yet, there wasn’t a whole lot of teamwork going on—participants were simply talking past each other. Customer success would attest something like “If we don’t build this feature for this customer, they won’t renew.

The best and most successful leaders have proven an ability to create advantages where, historically, there aren’t any. Customer touchpoints are neither a disadvantage or advantage by their simple nature; it really depends on the approach of the individual organization or facilitator of that specific point of contact. In other words, turning customer touchpoints into an advantage is more than feasible.

“We believe in a customer-centric culture!” “Our values include putting the customer in the center of everything we do.” “We are committed to being customer-centric.” Sound familiar? You or maybe your organization may have adopted similar mottos or share the term “customer-centric culture” as a guiding principle. And that is great. However, like many parts of customer experience, it takes more than just words.

One of my favorite concepts to cover in my customer service keynote speeches is to act like an owner. I originally wrote about this in 2011 and shared the story of an 18-year-old server at a pizza restaurant who took so much pride in his work that the guests thought he owned the restaurant. In preparing for an upcoming speech, I worked with Anthony Demangone, CMO of the National Association of Federally Insured Credit Unions.

What happens when governments raise their central bank interest rates? One ripple effect may be the increased cost of lending for banks. We may also observe a reduction in bond prices, which could deplete the market value of bank capital reserves. Unfortunately, these aren’t speculative scenarios—it’s all happening now in 2023. Mar. 8, 2023: Silvergate Bank, a cryptocurrency-focused institution, was the first to fail due to significant losses in its loan portfolio.

Churn starts within the first 30 days of customers purchasing a product. A lot of it comes down to the first impression customers get through the onboarding process. A poor experience can result in losing current and future customers, and unnecessary overhead. It’s important to know what a poor onboarding experience looks like, the associated hidden costs, and how to build a top-tier onboarding experience for your customers so you can avoid losing hard-earned revenue.

Traditionally, businesses have had to choose between a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) approach or a full-service model, where an agency handles the entire CX program.
