I recently went online to check the status of a delayed order. This should be an easy process in today's age. It wasn't. The company wasn't sharing any helpful information via it's ecommerce system. So I went looking for live help. The company's contact information was intentionally buried. I had to first navigate through an endless series of menus designed to deflect my question.

I’ve had a lot of conversations in recent weeks about how the employee experience drives the customer experience, but the part that stands out from these conversations is the common thread: that the customer experience only happens via, or is only shaped by, the frontline employees. That is just not true. When I’ve addressed this latter point, I’m always asked, “Well, then how do I connect the dots for the backoffice folks?

I've spent a lot of time at the post office lately and it's fascinating. My latest book came out in March, which means I've sent a lot of books to people I interviewed or who endorsed the book. The books require a special type of discounted postage called media mail, so I have to go to the counter to buy it from a postal clerk. There are three clerks who regularly work in my local post office.

By Turaj Seyrafiaan. There is a classic quote by John D. Rockefeller that says, “ Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great! ”. But is that a good advice? As a consultant I have learned to say it depends!! It very much depends on the situation and what we are trying to achieve. There are times that we should aim for excellence. As an example, we all know how important customer service and customer experience is and for those situations I would say yes, just being ‘Good’ is not good

by Patricia Ballantyne. Most organizations have mission and vision statements. Typically, the Mission Statement refers to the company’s purpose, or the reason why it is exists, while a Vision Statement refers to what the organization aspires to be. Even with inspiring mission and vision statements, a gap can exist between the statements and the culture that is actually experienced as you cascade down through the organization.

We’ve all heard that dreaded phrase before: “I’d like to speak to your supervisor.”. It’s easy to feel nervous after hearing that — nobody wants to deal with angry customers! An escalation request also often means that a customer feels dissatisfied with your service, which can feel discouraging. But, you don’t need to be afraid of escalations. In fact, it’s an opportunity for agents to improve their skills and for a company to learn where they can improve their operations.

It’s no secret in tech that everyone is a big fan of their own work. Self-belief isn’t optional. To start a startup, to take on incumbents, to disrupt an industry – all of this requires believing that you see things changing. Believing that you have something truly new to offer. Believing that customers who try it will see better results. And you need to tell everyone, all the time.

Too often, businesses focus solely on the negative feedback from their customer surveys in CSI fashion, identifying the pain points and taking the steps to eliminate them. While this reactive analysis is critical, it is just as important to embrace a proactive approach, taking as much time examining the positive comments for clues in the experiences that customers raved about in their surveys.
