In March last year, I wrote about Havas CX’s X Index and how it offered a new and holistic view of a brand’s customer experience (CX). […]. The post Brand trust emerges as the single biggest contributor to customer experience first appeared on Adrian Swinscoe.
Which came first, the call recorder or the recording engine? Honestly, it doesn't matter as they serve to very different use cases. Read more about each in this new blog.
With new SaaS companies popping up every day and a customer-centric culture coming into play, there’s (understandably) some confusion about how to manage customer interactions. For many companies, the entire conversation takes place under the umbrella of Customer Support (or Technical Support). Some companies have separated these functions further and appointed specialized groups for Onboarding, Implementation, and Customer Education.
When people think about a product evangelist, they tend to think of someone who knows the product like the back of their hand, who sings its praises and leaves a trail of loyal fans anywhere they go. Someone whose job it is to create a cult surrounding a product. They’re not wrong, of course. But there’s more to the role than meets the eye. And that’s exactly why John Cutler is joining us today.
What does customer service excellence look like in 2024? According to our report with insights from CX expert Shep Hyken, customer expectations are at an all-time high, and there’s a bigger shift toward self-service and leveraging AI capabilities.
What is the Difference Between Outstanding Customer Service and WOW Customer Service? When a company approaches us about customer service training programs, one of the first questions we ask is, “What are you hoping to achieve with the training?” We know, of course, that the ultimate goal is to improve the experience they provide […].

In today’s market, customers expect personalization. According to one report , 66% of customers expect companies to understand their needs and expectations – but say that they’re generally treated like numbers instead. This is a huge wasted opportunity, as research shows that 80% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase when brands offer personalized experiences.
Digital transformation has been an ongoing subject for over 30 years. But in the last few years, this transformation has become much more focused on specific aspects of the business.

Getting the attention of any customer is hard enough, but getting deep engagement with your product is the lifeblood of any product or customer experience team. Even leading companies with great web and mobile app experiences struggle to isolate which factors specifically drive engagement, increase retention, and delight customers. Understanding which product features, or digital touchpoints create noise, frustration, or confusion — demands fingertip access to high-quality data across all depart

Let’s go back to physics class for just a moment. Isaac Newton’s third law of motion states, “For every action in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” I admit to struggling in physics, but this was one principle I understood. The other day, a friend quoted Newton’s third law, and it hit me. Not only does this happen in physics, but it also happens in business, specifically when there is bad customer service or a bad customer experience (CX).
In the past, businesses served to sell products or services to customers. Recently businesses served to satisfy customers. No more. Satisfied customers feel service is good, not better, just average. Nobody raves about average. And satisfied customers will leave when they find something better or less expensive. Today’s customers are paying for their experience, not a business’ service or product.
Efforts to scale customer success team activity often fall short because of failure to avoid common mistakes. Your human resources practices, your project management procedures and your technology strategy all need to come together in order for you to scale up without overextending yourself. Mistakes in any of these areas can ripple throughout your organization and doom your efforts to failure.

Drawing on real-world insights and experiences, payments implementation experts Michael Veatch and Ella Aguirre will explore actionable strategies that can lead to a transparent, friction-free launch and mitigate potential challenges like technical
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world,” said Ludwig Wittgenstein. Most people prefer the use of known and simple words, to cover a lot of ground. Yet when we learn more words, we expand not just our verbal tool set, but also our mind and thinking. Yes, too many words can complicate things, but too few can get you stuck. Too few words limit your ability to tell a story.
As much as we’d all like a Magic 8-Ball that can tell us the best sales strategy to use for every client, companies need to rely on numbers instead. While metrics can’t predict the future, they’re the best way to inform companies of what their next steps should be. One of the most useful sales metrics is ACV. It often goes under the radar, but it’s a crucial measurement that helps businesses decide where to direct their focus at any given time.

Public customer service expectations are higher than ever before. As the private sector has adopted digital channels and technologies to improve customer experience (CX) and satisfaction, the public sector has begun to fall behind. In the US, the top-performing private sector boasts an 8.3 out of 10 customer satisfaction score. In US government, this score languishes at 4.5.
Customer health scores play a critical role in the success of any company. When you have strong customer health scores, your business thrives. Adoption increases, upsell opportunities present themselves more consistently, and customers advocate on your behalf, even when you don’t ask them. On the other hand, a bad customer health score can indicate churn is on the horizon, as well as poor customer stories, or worse.
Henry Ford once said , “It’s not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It’s the customer who pays the wages.” There’s a reason this business revolutionary is still quoted—he was absolutely right. And ignoring his wisdom can prove disastrous. Building strong customer relations will certainly help contribute to a company’s success, but in today’s customer-centric market, it’s a critical focus area.
As we move into 2022, contact centers are facing unique challenges that include both tactical and strategic decision making. The tactical decisions pertain to specific needs or technology applications, such as how many agents to hire or what use cases your chatbots will be built around. Contact center leaders must also be thinking about strategic decisions, such as how the contact center is going to evolve or what CX will need to look like in 2022.

The gap between customer service in public and private sectors is vast. The top-performing private sector in the US boasts a customer satisfaction score of 8.3 out of 10. In US government, this score languishes at 4.5. The reasons for this gap are complicated and numerous. With checks and balances built into government systems, as well as necessary regulations, citizens are often forced to interact with many departments and people to accomplish what seems a simple and straightforward task.
Not all sales are created equal. Depending on the products, region, and size of a company, a business may require sales experts with different specialties. In 2021, Americans spent nearly $487 billion on technological products and services (a 7.5 percent increase from the previous year)—they’re expected to spend even more in 2022. With the tech industry expanding exponentially, sales companies are on the hunt for tech-savvy, down-to-earth sales representatives who know what it takes to explain b
Training new hires on the fly isn’t easy and yet it’s quite common. When a support team is missing hands, chances are that new support agents will be hitting the tickets with precious little preparation. Needless to say, this can quickly lead to problems with customers. When a customer chats in with a new or particularly green support agent, the team member might provide wrong information or generally make some mistakes.
