by Rich Archbold, Senior Director of Engineering at Intercom. It’s hard to win a battle you don’t realise you’re in. It’s even harder if you don’t know all of the armies on the field, their strategies and weapons, or even who’s a friend and who’s a foe. The same is true in software. We are all in a battle, multiple battles in fact, with a lot at stake: whether it’s the fate of the company we work for or for the product that we build.

Customer experience plays an important, if not the most important role in success of any business.

Customer experience management brings discipline to this somewhat vague and soft area: by establishing a systematic process for collecting, analyzing and acting on the customer feedback, you’ll be able to start taking the customer experience in control.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) meted out a $185 million fine that included a $100 million penalty to Wells Fargo in 2016 for their violation and abuse of consumer trust. The San Francisco-based bank, whose employees opened many fraudulent and unauthorized accounts in their customers’ name, now enjoys the dubious honor of shouldering the most substantial penalty the agency has issued since its formation in 2011.

We now live in the age of the customer, where customers expect consistent, high-value experiences. If customers don’t get immediate value, they will likely leave and go to a company who will deliver an experience that meets their expectations. To be able to know and understand what customers want, companies must listen to their customers. That’s why companies are implementing some type of voice of the customer (VoC) program.

A well considered and well maintained onboarding funnel will grow your business. A leaky one could kill it. In software, when you think of “onboarding”, you might think of tooltip tours where customers are shown the various components on the UI via pop-ups, or you might think of empty states , where the UI is in a unique one-time only state, giving the customer guidance on how to get started.

A few years ago I came out of a meeting with my product manager where we talked about the next feature we should build. At the time there was a lot of hype around Foursquare-like location sharing apps. We worked for a social network so we had to build something like that as well. Needless to say, we didn’t have a clear product strategy. To take my mind off things I opened my RSS reader and a post called “ Product strategy means saying no ” caught my eye.

I’m a great fan of Apple, and not just because I use their products. For years, Apple has distinguished itself as a company that knows how to build an emotional connection with its customers. Because of that connection, Apple claims legions of loyal fans. But with its recent missteps in its handling of iPhone battery issues, one has to wonder: has Apple lost touch with its customer base?

There's a company X that collects customer feedback. Company X prefers the Net Promoter Score® ( what is NPS? ), yet it could be any other metric. They ask the very familiar NPS question: " How likely is it that you would recommend [brand] to a friend or colleague? (on a scale from 0 to 10) " after each customer purchase or interaction.

As a student of engineering you’re incentivised to write a lot and to read a lot. You’re expected to solve many well understood, discreet, simple problems, on paper, on sunny afternoons in late May and early June. This kind of learning has its place – it encourages discipline of thought and allows you to develop certain important muscles that will be useful for later – but to be successful as product engineer , you’ll also need to master a bunch of different skills.

Every year, companies like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Indeed put out lists of the top places to work. From hammocks and ping-pong tables to fully stocked break rooms and rooftop zen gardens, it may seem like company culture is directly tied to the amount of money you’re willing to spend. But a recent visit to a contact center, which happened to be located inside of the Perryville Correctional Facility in Arizona, proved the exact opposite: an awesome culture isn’t something that’s bought.

In a relay race, the most exciting moments often come not at the finish line, but when the baton gets passed from one runner to the next. There is an exhilarating tension because, while the best runners can make it look so effortless, barely breaking stride, it is fraught with risk. Those same runners, with all of their training and talent, can sometimes still fumble the pass, drop the baton and lose the race in a moment.
