There are three things that great companies that have excellent Customer Experiences do in common to make Customers feel the love.

In the book Good to Great, Jim Collins writes that “People are not your most important asset. The right people are.”. Customer service is all about building relationships – relationships with superiors, direct reports, vendors and customers.

And yet, to create customer journey maps , we need to assume some degree of similarity amongst our customers and their experiences with us.

Restaurants are one of the few truly universal industries because almost everyone has familiarity with them.

'Exceptional and unforgettable Moments of Truth fuel customer delight and loyalty. So too do pointless and broken interactions douse brand devotion. Unfortunately, disappointment carries more weight. Research undertaken by Richard Normann several decades ago revealed that it takes twelve positive Moments of Truth to recover from one failure.

Over the past year, I’ve had several prospective clients get excited about improving their customer experience—and then postpone their CX initiatives because they first need to “prioritize defining the business requirements” or because they’re about to “embark on a major org change.”. This approach always leaves me scratching my head. While these types of initiatives may make leaders feel as if they’re moving the company forward, the lack of customer input puts their decisions and change managem

It seems most organizations have a Customer Experience program and an increasing number have started Employee Engagement programs. The issue for me is these are not combined nor complimentary, which is a huge mistake. Why? Because the experience you give your Customers is the same experience you should give your employees. It’s not only good for employee engagement, but it can mean your Customers are more satisfied with you—and how much they spend with your brand.
