It’s easy to believe that machine learning is hard. An arcane craft known only to a select few academics. After all, you’re teaching machines that work in ones and zeros to reach their own conclusions about the world. You’re teaching them how to think! Indeed, the majority of literature on machine learning is riddled with complex notation, formulae and superfluous language.

Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. For example, we show empathy when we put ourselves in the shoes of an elderly person and give them our seat on a crowded bus. Or when we share genuine excitement with a friend who received a job promotion. Showing this type of empathy often comes naturally to us, and is ingrained in how we act in our everyday lives.

When I need work done at the house, I always get three quotes. I never go with the highest or the lowest, but instead, I choose the one in the middle. This shortcut, called Extremeness Aversion, helps me make an important decision—and it helps your customers make buying decisions, too. We discussed Extremeness Aversion on our podcast earlier this month.

Your customer is your brand. Whether your client-facing business is a long-standing institution or the brand new kid on the block, you ought to keep this one fact in mind.

There are few issues more important than customer retention when running software-as-a-service businesses. It’s no good acquiring customers for $10, if they only stick around for a month or two. Retention can be measured qualitatively by talking and checking in with your customers regularly so you’ll know what their main questions and issues are, and when they occur.

Customer Experience (CX) is all about creating positive perceptions. Doing this is especially hard when your customers are going through a tough time. Few would know this better than the team at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. People with unimaginable pain enter these doors every day, and yet most will exit with new hope and authentic smiles.

Each of us has a time when we decide and a time when we act. Once we act, we pass the point of no return on our decision. In other words, once we take action on a decision, we are less likely to change our decision—even when we run into challenges. It’s all a matter of mindset. The Rubicon model is a psychological principle that distinguishes our decision-making method or deliberative mindset from our execution course or implementation mindset.

Too many hiring managers focus on candidates’ work history when filling customer service roles. They get excited when they read that the candidate has six-plus years working in customer service. But past work in customer service is not a reliable indicator of future success in serving your customers. To consistency deliver the best possible customer interactions, you need to hire for emotional intelligence —hiring people with empathy, friendliness, and connection, and then train those peop

Kaizen is the philosophy of continuous improvement. Web businesses searching for product market fit think they can follow this philosophy just by shipping code. But shipping code doesn’t mean that you’re making any significant product improvements.

Studies show the average business call lasts 2 minutes longer than it needs to. Customer service employees struggle with call control for a variety of reasons, including they don’t want to be rude to the customer, they aren’t sure how to move to closure or because the customer is rambling or angry. Using the principles of harmony, assertiveness and leading from the martial art Aikido, Myra walks your employees through the steps to politely and confidently control conversations.

A few years ago, we had a seemingly simple problem to solve: our customers needed an easy way to set realistic expectations around their response times to conversations in our Messenger. Did this prove that we should have trusted our intuition all along? When we first considered the problem that businesses were facing, we instantly thought of implementing something like an “office hours” setting, so businesses could easily alert people to when they were likely to respond.

Every company dreams of having no negative feedback and no unhappy customers, yet many companies fail to identify their detractors and turn them into promoters. Why is that important? First, let’s get back to statistics : At least 30% of consumers stop interacting with a brand they love after the 1st bad experience and around 50% of all the consumers leave the brand for good after several bad experiences.

Businesses are in a rut. Speed, efficiency and convenience are all rational factors companies focus on when they think about customer experience. But good experience isn’t that simple. It involves more than you think. For years, research has indicated that the future of success for business is in customer experience. But recent PwC research shows that businesses have a customer experience disconnect.
