When I was in corporate life, my boss asked me to improve the Customer Experience and do it for the least cost. I remember thinking, “Ok. Sure, but….what is a Customer Experience?” Nobody knew back then. I defined it for myself as the mix of rational and emotional parts of an interaction with a customer, which later became my first book, Building Great Customer Experiences (Palgrave Macmillan, 2002).

Foodmaker. Like a lot of restaurants, the pandemic had a devastating effect on Lieven Vanlommel’s healthy fastfood restaurant Foodmaker. The number of sold meals dropped from 100.000 to 10.000 and at the very beginning, they were looking at a loss of 1 million euros per week. But they turned the tide around with their brand new Vedge-bags concept: healthy mealboxes in several types and sizes that can be ordered online and delivered at home.

Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

As the months of remote work add up, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to partake in the virtual coffee dates and happy hours we relied on in the early days of the pandemic. Zoom fatigue is setting in, and it often feels better to simply opt out of the activities that aren’t required. Of course, we all need to make choices about how we spend our energy right now.

E(verywhere)-Commerce. A long time ago, we had to ‘go to a place’ to shop. When the internet kicked in, we were able to shop from the comfort of our own home, and later even on our mobile phones outside of our houses. But we still had to ‘go’ to a place, albeit virtual. Increasingly, we are moving into an era where everything is commerce and we will be shopping from our streaming channels, videos, social media and messaging and even from billboards in the street.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

The best time to ask an NPS Question is sometime after a transaction, a purchase, a delivery or a meaningful interaction. When the customers' experience is fresh, they are in a better position to share the exact emotions and perceptions with a high accuracy of the responses. The success of any survey depends on the response rate of that survey. And when it comes to Net Promoter Score survey, the response rate means everything!

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
