For Duolingo, the world’s most downloaded education app, growth is fundamentally about retention. If users don’t stick around, they won’t learn and inevitably won’t share Duolingo with their friends. As VP of Marketing and Growth at Duolingo through 2017, improving retention was the top priority of Gina Gotthilf. In her five years there, she helped take Duolingo from 3 million users to more than 200 million.

Apple announced “Business Chat” in June, staking a claim to a vital piece of the ecommerce landscape: the channel for customer service communication. The product went into live beta this week with about 10 companies participating, and the timing could not be better for Apple. Facebook, their main rival in this field, is bloodied from weeks of bad press over privacy issues.

The way we interact with the world is increasingly determined by the software we use, but despite that growing dependence, we only truly connect with software on an emotional level when it speaks to us in a distinctly human voice. So, how does software take on a personality of its own? That’s typically where marketing comes in. At eFounders , we launch 4 new startups each year.

They say the key to any healthy human relationship is effective communication. This principle also applies to the relationship between a customer and a customer service or sales representative. Active listening is the foundation of effective communication. Behind every customer call is a real person, looking for guidance or a solution to a problem. It’s critical to engage in active listening in order to make that person feel truly heard, understood, and served.

Original post via ProProfs, expert opinion summary by Colin Taylor. With Customer Experience being a crucial factor in business operations, comes the importance of ensuring high customer satisfaction (CSAT) levels. A high CSAT is a indicator of customer loyalty and repurchase intentions. This differentiator will reduce customer churn. Retaining brand advocates results in cost savings as it is cheaper to retain customers than it is to acquire new ones.

Let’s begin with a hypothetical scenario: You’ve spent the last two weeks perfecting your pitch. You’ve thought through every possible objection anyone might have to your plan. You’ve carefully justified your choice of programming language and why you just need to use a complex gossip protocol to build the system – it is theoretically the “best” language, but it’ll be tricky to get right (and yet really fun to build).

Everybody works hard. There’s a reason that no hiring manager has ever been blown away by the answer “I’m a hard worker” when they ask why they should hire you. We all consider ourselves hard workers, but only a small percentage of the workforce will ever experience the seemingly infinite, grueling hours that Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) experience from January 1 st to April 15 th every calendar year.

Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

We’ve written a lot about how to send the right message at the right time. And while timing is important, how many messages you send also plays a role in your customers’ experience. If your customers feel they’re receiving too many messages, it’s not just about message volume. There’s more at play. First, it’s important to note there’s a big difference between actual communication volume and perceived communication volume (i.e., the number of messages a customer feels they’re receiving).
CX Journey

Are journey maps a waste of time, or can you really use them to drive CX change? There's a big problem brewing out there when it comes to journey mapping: Too many folks view journey maps as useless, when instead, the maps should be seen as one of the (if not the ) most powerful tools and processes in the customer experience professional's arsenal. Done right, you can drive real CX change with your journey maps!

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

For most sales teams, “personalizing” a cold email simply means referencing a person’s job title or company and sending them links to case studies or blog posts in the hope of generating a single click-through. The conversation typically ends after that click. As sales people we might follow up with lots of “ just checking in ” emails, but these can feel spammy, and there are minimal results to show for it.
