It’s no secret that when it comes to support, customer expectations are higher than ever before – but how are support leaders and teams adapting to these increased demands? Our recent report showed that while 73% of support leaders say customer expectations are increasing, only 42% of them believe that they’re actually meeting those expectations. That’s a significant gap between expectations and reality – and one that it’s all too easy for your support team to fall into.

Did you know that Nordstrom once refunded a customer for a tire while it didn’t even sell tires? One of the reasons that Nordstrom has been successful for almost 120 years is that the staff is trained to strive to get you a “yes” to anything you request. In 1975, a man returned to a store with four snow tires in the bed of his truck. He bought the tires at a tire shop several weeks before, and he needed to return them.

I’m a strong proponent of including a short description of the customer persona on each journey map. (Otherwise, how do you know whose journey is being represented?) That practice often brings up a question during client conversations: To what degree should our personas represent different races, genders, religions, sexual orientations, etc.? It’s Black History Month here in the United States, and that seems the perfect time to answer this question in a public forum.
