James Carville, political commentator and media personality coined the phrase, “The economy, Stupid,” for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. Carville was talking to the team at the time to help them focus on the key messages for Clinton’s campaign. The slogan resurfaced in the 2008 campaign as “It’s the economy, stupid.”. I decided that for people working in Customer Experience, we needed a way to stay on message, too.

By: Colin Taylor. The downside of a strong economy is low unemployment and job shortages. A strong economy doesn’t directly cause contact center attrition, but it does provide employees and agents options that may not exist in a weaker economy. This element of choice, though, will magnify any internal issues and challenges that may exist in your contact center which can contribute to staff attrition.

We all have our preferences as to who we trust when the pressure is on. This makes it even more important to keep those leaders on your team. Losing one great leader like that might be the equivalent of losing two or more of your average leaders.

When Eli, a twenty-something lively man from New York with toasted-almond skin and tinted glasses entered my dad’s hospital room, he changed the atmosphere. Eli responded to my dad’s many requests and needs with patience, a sense of enthusiastic urgency, and something that I can only describe as love. Eli serves my dad like he’s a son, not a nurse technician.

We’re early in Customer Experience (CX) capability development, and I absolutely love it! We’re discovering the best practices that our successors will take for granted; “of course that’s how you do it.” Unfortunately, being in this early stage means that some “best practices” aren’t. Some actually hinder the goal of improved CX – to create loyal customers who love […].

It’s no surprise that AI (Artificial Intelligence) is really starting to make an impact in the customer service industry. How companies interact with customers is being strongly influenced by this emerging technology. Sure, the “chat bot” comes to mind immediately, but even that has taken a backseat to larger uses of AI which still involve (and improve upon) the human element.

As we look ahead to 2025, business intelligence and data analytics are set to play pivotal roles in shaping success. Organizations are already starting to face a host of transformative trends as the year comes to a close, including the integration of AI in data analytics, an increased emphasis on real-time data insights, and the growing importance of user experience in BI solutions.

Every few days there seems to be another customer service disaster that fills the newspapers and goes viral on social media. These usually happen when an organisation does not adopt a customer first strategy. Almost every single organisation, big or small, recognises the importance of their customers. They talk about customer centricity but very few actually go beyond voicing their opinions.

It is quite disheartening for a business to find out that a quiz average conversion rate is 5 percent. This implies that you convert only 1 subscriber out of the 20 people who take your quiz. You get 100 new subscribers only when 2,000 people complete your business quiz. Isn’t this number astounding for a small business? After all, SMBs neither have a sizeable website traffic nor social followers.

I came across a Forbes article that explored how CX is being looked at in the telecoms industry, and it stated that, “more and more, telcos are concerning themselves not just with whether things work from a technical standpoint (“Does my cell phone have a signal?”), but with the emotions of the customer (“Am I having fun watching this video – or feeling impatient and frustrated?

Do you remember the time when traditional offline training used to be a norm for corporates as well as educational institutes? Surely, it did stand the test of time and reigned in the learning and development landscape for decades, but not without its share of flak from instructors and learners alike. It’s not just the exorbitant costs but also other aspects like selecting the venue, ensuring decent attendance and low knowledge retention among learners that grappled the L&D industry.

Proper training gives your team the tools they need to provide an exceptional customer experience.

It’s been a big year for Avaya, probably the most important 12-month period in the company’s long, storied existence.

Thus, today’s earnings report was a milestone for the company and it was generally positive.

Holidays provide a great opportunity for companies not only to sell more to repeat clients but also to acquire new customers. Together with a great opportunity to gain, comes a big chance to lose customers in the holiday season if you offer them bad customer service. Customer service is almost always the first impression a customer will have with your company, so it is important to handle it the right way and not scare your customers away.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.

“Anyone who’s a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: Is it good? Does it give pleasure?” wrote the late Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef and host of the TV show Parts Unknown. Innovative service is a blend of these same two sentiments. As customers, we all want service that is good—meaning it successfully fulfills our needs or accomplishes the outcome we seek.

If you’re thinking about investing in customer support software, you’re probably wondering if the cost will pay off. Calculating the return on investment (ROI) of a new tool can be tricky. What impact will it actually have on bringing in revenue? Will it truly decrease the cost of doing business? This is an especially perplexing question for customer support teams, where measuring the impact of our actions on business metrics has always been a difficult exercise.
