If you give people the option to shop somewhere that only had a few choices or another venue with a wide selection, people almost always go for the larger selection. However, sorting through options can feel overwhelming. Too many choices in your Customer Experience are a terrible thing. Of course, too little choice is not great either. We discussed the issues with too many options in a recent podcast and what you can do to make customer’s decisions easier in your Customer Experience.

As your sales organization scales up, there’s one function that becomes crucial to your ability to drive revenue efficiently – sales operations. Until Xerox created the first team in the 1970s, sales operations didn’t exist. Fifty years later, it’s still one of the hardest functions to nail. On the surface, their mission is simple: enable the sales organization to run better and faster.

There’s a pattern that’s all too common in our industry – you build a rock-solid product, spend a lot of cash and effort attracting people to discover that product, but then fall down at the crucial point of helping your customers actually find value. Getting users to discover that value from day one is what great onboarding is all about, but so many of us struggle to ensure our onboarding is as good as our core product.

But it can be a real challenge knowing that’s what you’re doing from the outset. In late 2007, a pair of roommates found themselves scraping their wallets to come up with enough cash to cover their exorbitant San Francisco rent. They noticed that a big design conference was coming to town, and all the hotels were booked. That’s when they came up with a brilliant idea – selling airbeds on their apartment floor for $80 a night.

Just like most entrepreneurs and business people, I go to my fair share of conferences. One that stays in my memory for many reasons, was an event I attended in San Jose, California.

I end all of my customer service workshops by asking participants to write down three words. Start, Stop, and Continue. Then I invite them to reflect on the day by jotting down: One thing they will START doing based on something they learned in the training. One thing they’ll STOP doing because they’ve discovered this thing is not useful, or it’s holding them back.

The new customer-centered economy marks a fundamental change in the business/customer relationship. It’s no longer wise for businesses to focus the majority of their efforts on seeking new customers. After all, recurring revenue business models revolve around customer subscriptions that must be paid for or renewed monthly or annually. But they aren’t a guarantee of revenue; customers can cancel at any time.

CEO’s Guide to Growth through Customer-Centered Management Lynn Hunsaker. In every company where customer experience is a hallmark of their success, the CEO is the ringleader of customer-centered management. This type of leadership is indeed rare: it wasn’t the nucleus of your university’s business curriculum, it’s not yet central to Wall Street’s conversations about your company, and it’s not yet the focus of prominent business journals.

In a perfect world, the customer would fully leverage it, then spread the word about your business to their friends and community. But in reality, all products and subscriptions have a learning curve that can block a customer from fully adopting the product.

Essential Role of Contact Centers in Digital Transformations. I’ve got a bone to pick with enterprise technology decision-makers.
