This was a year when it felt like history was unfolding in real time – rather than the narrative of our time taking shape gradually over months and years, events were seemingly getting inscribed straight into the collective memory every day, or sometimes every hour. Such turbulence is never pleasant to live through – we crave a steady, predictable pace of progress, and above all we crave a sense of control over that progress.

I admit it – I’m a child of the ‘80s. We’ve got 150+ stations on our satellite radio, but it stays tuned to 80s on 8 or First Wave, except for those rare occasions when I stray to the ‘70s or ’90s stations.

When I was in corporate life, my boss asked me to improve the Customer Experience and do it for the least cost. I remember thinking, “Ok. Sure, but….what is a Customer Experience?” Nobody knew back then. I defined it for myself as the mix of rational and emotional parts of an interaction with a customer, which later became my first book, Building Great Customer Experiences (Palgrave Macmillan, 2002).

When customers are venting, they’re stuck in the right side of the brain. We’ve talked about the right emotional brain and the Communication Chain. Here’s a tactic you can use to move on. Ask your customer three closed-ended questions back-to-back. Closed-ended questions are questions that can be answered in one word: “Do you like Italian food?” is a closed-ended question.

Few are better placed to explain the concept of customer success than Nick Mehta. As CEO of Gainsight , he has done more than most to popularize the category in the B2B SaaS world, and these efforts recently culminated in the company being acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1.1 billion. Nick’s belief that business is personal underpins his outlook, and he takes a “human-first” approach in his role.

I just love Christmas movies as evidenced by the dozen or so that I dust off and watch every December. In past years I’ve written about National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation , The Holiday , and Arthur Christmas. This year I set my sights on quite possibly the most loveable character in any Christmas movie — Buddy the Elf from the movie Elf. As I’ve spent time reflecting on Buddy, it’s clear to me that he worked in a contact center at some point in his life.

Over time, we can build assumptions about how things work. How things are supposed to be. Or we cement assumptions about what people think. Or how we expect people to behave.

I was recently with my father-in-law at a doughnut shop. The line was fairly long and not moving quickly. The person behind the counter serving customers wasn’t moving particularly fast as he cared for one customer at a time. As we waited, we watched one customer lose patience, leave the line, get in her car, and go through the drive-through. And I’m pretty sure she got faster service.
