When I created Beyond Philosophy, I chose the name for a reason. I believe it is crucial to do more than discuss your theories about Customer Experience strategy. Sure, you need to think about it, understand the philosophy behind it as well as the science, but after that, you should go beyond the philosophy and do something. In other words, theories are fascinating but falderal unless you implement them in your Customer Experience.

The customer-centered economy has made it easier for customers to switch to a competitor if one company is not fully satisfying them. This has raised customer expectations; now, companies need to provide personalized services to stand out. If you don’t meet these expectations, customers can easily go elsewhere. To thrive in this environment, you must engage customers proactively and regularly.

I always wonder if teachers think to themselves, “ How much do my students already know about this topic ” before they begin teaching a particular topic to their students. I hope they really do for the simple reason that it will help them shape their teaching strategy. And, an effortless way to understand this, is assigning your students an online interactive quiz.

I used to work in corporate life. I managed to get up to a senior position. When people asked what I did, I used to say, “I play chess.”. I was joking, of course. The truth is I spent my day on company politics. My guess is a lot of you do, too. Surprisingly, there are not training courses on company politics and how to deal with them. In light of this fact, we decided managing company politics would be an excellent subject of conversation for a recent podcast.

We all go through times when we’re not feeling the whole work thing. The mere thought of work brings on dread, we mop ourselves into the office later and later, and our eyes are rolled to the back of our head more often than not. These are all signs that we’re burned out or morale is very low. If you’re a supervisor or manager and you see signs of work exhaustion in your people, you need to act fast, or you might lose your people to burnout, or another job.

Several years ago, my consulting firm worked with a large retail shopping center company. At the time this REIT owned over 300 shopping centers around the country. The question my firm was asked to determine was this: Will the customer experience in the shopping center drive increased revenue in the stores? They knew they could put a carnival in the middle of the mall and get traffic…so the issue was not just mall attendance; it was increased revenue.

My daughter and I were exploring supplements at Whole Foods on Saturday. I’d grabbed Matcha powder, MCT oil, and ground flaxseed. An employee with happy robin eyes spotted my bounty and whispered a tip, “If you can wait a few days, all of our supplements are going to be 25% off August 2-4, and Prime members get an additional 10% off. I can get you a bag and hold your items for you if you like.” I needed the ground flaxseed for a vegan recipe, but the other times could wait.

If customer success professionals can agree on one thing, it’s that customer churn is inevitable. While most CSMs will try their hardest to deliver amazing customer experiences, make data-backed account decisions, and escalate issues wherever applicable, there are always problems that are just out of reach. Sometimes, customer churn is something that just can’t be avoided, no matter how hard your CSMs try. .

Settling for “good enough” when you’re trying to grow a business is just that: settling.

Great customer service is essential for business. In fact, consumers are willing to spend 17 percent more with companies that deliver excellent service, according to American Express. Unfortunately, it’s true that bad news travels faster than good news, especially in the age of social media. Most customer service stories online are about bad customer service experiences, and consequently, you don’t always hear about companies who are doing it right.

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.

Improving employee satisfaction has been a goal of organizations since at least the 1930s, when psychologists began earnestly studying employee attitudes and how they were affected by the employer/employee relationship. It was during this time that initial “job satisfaction” surveys were administered, which became the norm for the next 50 years and evolved over time to be more complex and sophisticated.
