?. While it might be obvious that there’s usually a team of people collaborating on the vision and creation of good design, this truth applies just as much to the end user – there’ll be more than one person on the receiving end. Good design doesn’t only account for a single persona. Instead, you have to consider all people, all experiences and, crucially, all privileges.

If I asked you for $100, what would you say? My guess is no. You probably have a rule against giving people money just because they asked you. But what if I asked you for $1? Most of us would probably be okay with that. Sure, it’s still giving money, but it’s only $1, and that isn’t the same thing. However, by saying yes to giving me $1, you broke your rule about giving people money just because they asked you.

Today’s reality is that customer support channels are more than just voice calls, IVR menus, and email. These channels are still popular, but they can also be time-consuming for agents and customers. More channels are being added like messaging through SMS /MMS, Rich Communication Services and website chat. Along with messaging, support in apps is becoming a standard.

I was talking recently with the head of marketing at large consumer products company. Several years ago, a major digital agency she was working with presented her team with customer journey maps. The agency had put the maps together — based solely on their own desk research, not by actually going out to talk with any of their client’s customers — and just handed them over.

We took my son’s phone in for repair. After looking at the phone, the employee said. “Liquid has come in contact with this phone. Your warranty doesn’t cover this, but we have a couple of options. We can repair the unit, or we can sell you a refurbished model.”. While I wasn’t happy to learn that we’d have to pay for repair or a new phone, I did appreciate the way the employee delivered the news.

Every business needs to grow. However, in today’s customer-centered economy, simply seeking out new customers is not enough. Companies today are instead looking to implement a customer expansion strategy. Customer expansion isn’t about pushing current customers to spend more; rather, it’s about creating extra value that customers will benefit from. Customers are willing to pay for this new value, which helps you increase your company’s revenue.

There’s an interesting and high-stakes battle taking place right now in the world of customer service: What will be the dominant text-based channel for B2C communications?

Competing against it are the big corporate-owned messaging platforms: Messenger and WhatsApp (both from Facebook), Apple’s Business Chat, and Google’s offering called (for now) Google My Business Chat.

On the face of it the business case for a Voice of the Customer (VoC) program comes down to a simple equation: happier customers = increased profits. Numerous studies support the validity of this statement, which has by now been proven time and time again in various industries. For example Forrester Research found that from 2011 to 2015 a group of CX leaders’ revenue outgrew the revenue from their CX laggard competitors by more than 5 to 1.
