Written by Jenny Dempsey, 5.25.2022 You don’t actually want to contact customer support. If you have to, this means you have a problem or an unanswered question. You can’t find the answer in the knowledge base on the company website, instruction book or the FAQs. When you do reach out, you want to know that you’re in good hands and that an answer or resolution to your issue is waiting at the end of that interaction.

The contact center at many organizations doesn’t get the strategic consideration it deserves. My former contact center team at British Telecom seemed to be viewed primarily as a cost center, a necessary expense. As a result, their team was always pressured to streamline staffing, coached to be as efficient as possible with multiple priorities, and designed to generate the least amount of cost.

Design and collaboration go hand-in-hand. When we want to discuss problems, imagine new ideas, and brainstorm solutions, it’s best to bring people together – whether in person or virtually. Collaboration comes in many flavors, from small informal working sessions and group critiques to full-blown workshops. But beware: just bringing people together doesn’t automatically guarantee creative outputs and ideas.

While many people think of Net Promoter Score® surveys as revolving around a simple 0 to 10 rating scale, the reality is that there are two sides to NPS® — the quantitative (the rating) and the qualitative side (the feedback). Just like few things are more frustrating for the average person than sending an email without getting a response, few things are as discouraging for a customer satisfaction expert as sending an NPS survey and receiving a score without any qualitative feedback.

It’s another way of saying the customer lifecycle, or the steps your customers take from the time they first become aware of your brand to the point at which they become your brand’s biggest advocate. .

And that’s where the Web3 phenomenon comes in. What I believe that it might accelerate, is that companies simply won’t have any other choice but to create extra value (on top of product or service) because it will trigger a huge shift in the power relation between the brand and the consumer. And the reason is data, which used to lie in the hands of companies, but will be granted back to the user with Web3: the customer will be able to choose if brands use their data.
