Picture this: You’re a product designer with a handful of years on your career path. You’ve cut your teeth on a few big launches and earned your stripes as a solid “mid level” product designer. Like many designers, you’re curious and ambitious. You look to the future and ask yourself, where do I want to be this time next year? What about in five years?

If you wanted to know your customers’ gripes and praises in the past, you had to assemble a series of questions anticipating their possible answer.

In the customer-centric economy, retaining current customers is a top priority. Not only are new customers expensive to win over, but loyal customers are more valuable in the long run. They trust your brand and are more likely to spread word-of-mouth advertising or accept an upsell. Plus, retaining a following of customers gives you a good brand image, as it shows that your company is capable of inspiring loyalty.

I have been working as a global Customer Experience consultant for nearly twenty years. Never have I ever heard a customer say, “I just wish I could be hassled a little more.”. We don’t like it when things aren’t easy in a Customer Experience. It takes too much time and energy for us to respond to tricky or difficult challenges. Moreover, if we are at a state of cognitive depletion, where we are too tired to make good decisions or use rational thought to figure out a solution, we are likely to w

CSMs Are Problem Solvers. Like diligent gardeners, Customer Success Managers (CSMs) excel at identifying problems and attacking them at their roots. Once one problem is solved, they move on to the next one, steadily weeding out every problem until only the healthy crops are left to flourish. But fundamentally, their focus is always on a problem. This is a solid strategy, but it’s not always the best approach to drive the metrics that matter in customer success.

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.

That’s 25 million rides a day and 400 million customers in 400 cities worldwide. The beauty of that is that they have more data at hand than all their competitors (75 terabytes of data per day, to be exact), allowing them to better understand customers, and what they expect from mobility.
