Happy 2018, folks! Ready or not, the new year is here. And with the turn of the calendar comes everyone’s favorite annual process: goal setting! Sadly, this rite of passage is often overlooked or marginalized within customer service departments. We can become wholly focused on things like quality scores, metrics, and new technology (all of which are extremely important), but annual goals should help you get out of the day-to-day way of thinking and practice continual improvement.

As explained in this National Public Radio report , firstborn children have the benefit of their parents’ undivided attention early in life, and that advantage can influence their development.

Prospect Theory is the name of the concept developed by Nobel-prize winning professor Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who were the “Godfathers of modern decision science.” It describes the hidden influences that exist that drive our behavior—and they aren’t what you think. Before Kahneman and Tversky’s paper on Prospect Theory, most economists felt like what drove decision-making was wealth, as in, the more wealth you had, the more options were available to you.

My first full year as an entrepreneur has come to an end. Our company, Lumoa, has now been there for a bit more than one year. In fact, we celebrated our one-year anniversary on 14th of November. What have I learned? First of all, it has been a great year. I’ve enjoyed it tremendously. It actually surprises me, how fun it has been. We started Lumoa with Carlos and Suvi after leaving Microsoft in August 2016.

I cuss. A lot. But never have I dared to cuss at a person in a customer service role. And I get rather upset about lousy customer service and still manage to talk nicely to people about any issues I encounter. Some people cuss, and yell and make threats when they are angry about customer service. This is not okay. You have to draw the line on unacceptable behavior with customers, just as I hope you do in your interpersonal relationships when people disrespect you.

As a customer service leader, you know that not every interaction is going to go smoothly. It comes with the territory – having thick skin is essential for a CSR. Sometimes it’s easy to maintain your composure while dealing with a customer complaint, other times it’s more difficult. Whether the customer is entitled to their anger is not worth debating, the only thing you can do is try not to escalate the situation any further.

I am apprehensive about my industry. Having worked in Customer Experience since 2002, I may be too much of a purist. However, for a while now, I have been writing about the decline and dilution of the discipline of Customer Experience. From changing titles but not behavior to a poor understanding of what customers want, the trends are troublesome. My concerns only grow as we roll into 2018.

If you work in a big company with large number of customers (or users), you most probably receive a lot of feedback: people write about their experiences, complain about the things that do not work and tell about the things they love. Most companies collect feedback in some specific format, such as Net Promoter Score. Some companies use other metrics , such as Customer Effort Score or Customer Satisfaction.

After years of delivering SaaS solutions and supporting customers' implementations through their transition from one half-decent tool to another, I knew there had to be a better way. Most of the time, we could get 80 or 90% of the way there—but only after significant compromise. The reality is that a large part of this industry is built from 20-year-old architectures and only updated just enough to infiltrate the cloud technology space… But then there’s UJET.

Customer experience optimization has, for some time, been the stated goal of many enterprises around the world.

As a child, I hated going to the dentist. The idea of keeping my mouth open, for what felt like an eternity, while someone poked and prodded at my teeth, was never a pleasant experience. Funnily enough, what helped me get through those torturous endeavours was the artwork displayed in that dental office. Strategically placed on the ceiling, above the chair, I had the pleasure of gazing at so many lovely pictures.
