Convincing potential users to sign up for your product isn’t easy. But what happens next is far more important. The latest batch of billion-dollar companies are built on high customer retention. They help their users be successful, and that means providing great onboarding.

Companies these days are fixated on Customer Experience. If you’re not, I hope you’ve worked up an S.O.S. because you’re going to need one! It’s true, our customers are looking for much more than the product – they want to feel valued and be part of something special, something bigger than themselves. Leaders scratching their heads wondering how they can provide an “experience”, are turning to their Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) and counting on them to make it happen.

Imagine walking into the office one morning and having your star team member ask if you have a few minutes to talk. In person. Your instincts tell you nothing good is going to come out of this conversation.

Motivation is the key to accelerating whatever it is you’re looking to improve or optimize. But, motivation doesn’t necessarily come naturally to most people. Whether it’s a personal or professional goal, like trying to lose weight, organize your garage, or exceed sales targets, motivation is a tough nut to crack. Luckily there are certain “hacks” that can not only help individuals get motivated, but entire teams; especially call center customer service teams since they’re pivotal in establishin

During our recent CallMiner and IPI Contact Centre Performance Summit, it became clear that when it comes to getting a great ROI from Interaction (or Speech) Analytics, many businesses struggle to identify the right KPIs for their contact centre and the business. They also often fail to measure the ROI against the most important KPIs at each step of their Interaction Analytics Programme.

When a visitor or lead gets in touch on your website, it’s important to get as much context as you can around the live chat conversation you have with them. Your aim should be to understand what they want, how you can help them and to judge how fast they need a solution. With lots of inbound leads, you’ll need to prioritize which ones need a response first, and it’s not always as easy as you might expect to make this judgment call.

I was behind a truck recently that had a cool LED lighted border around the license plate. Little red lights danced around and framed the driver’s message. Here’s what this driver had displayed on his flashy license plate border: “If your reading this, than your to close.”. Do you see what I saw? Not one, not two, but four typos! The message should read: “If you’re reading this, then you’re too close.”.

Product management is about solving problems. How can we help our users complete their job-to-be-done cheaper, faster or easier? Finding those problems to solve, however, becomes increasingly difficult as you scale – where the volume of feedback, and noise level of the vocal minority, compounds by the day. Not to mention changes to workflows affecting an increasingly large amount of users.

Super customer service experience is about positive feelings but leaders grouse that they can't build a business on the randomness of feelings. Well customer feelings are NOT random.

Time flies… I realized the other day that Outside In was published nearly 6 years ago. And while a lot has changed in the world and in the sphere of customer experience during that time, I firmly believe that the analysis and advice in the book are just as relevant in 2018 as they were in 2012. Part of the reason for that is that the book talks primarily about how organizations work and how they need to change—and, unlike technology, organizations don’t change all that quickly.

Since IBM coined the term “Help Desk” in the 1970s, customer support has come a long way. We’ve moved from call centers, to ticket-based helpdesks, to increasingly personal types of customer support. Over the past decade, one of the most popular (and personal) support channels has been live chat. However, having live customer conversations doesn’t come without its challenges.

I heard a famous quote this morning from Winston Churchill’s address to Harrow School in the UK in 1941. It was certainly one of his shortest speeches but probably also his most quoted. He said: “Never give in, never, never, never, never” You can read his full speech – which is not a lot longer! – here. Hearing this quote got me thinking about failure.

Companies that would make your mom proud prove with their actions that they have their customers’ best interest in mind. This is at the heart of companies that grow most organically—earning ardent admirers who grow their business for them. They earn a bigger piece of the pie, because they improve customers’ lives. This is a simple idea to accept, but oh-so-hard to execute.

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.
