The customer experience department

A remarkable customer experience can be your best marketing and sales strategy.

A company needs to have a centralised customer experience department that focuses on the entire journey from above and can see all the transactions and the ups and downs of the journey. Then try to improve the customer's experience.

The leaky bucket

A customer is a company's number one asset. If we don't treat customers like our best asset, we will lose them.

The customer who leaves without telling why they've left is dangerous. Sometimes customers will let you know exactly why they left, but most of the time, customers just leave, and you don't know what you did.

Focusing on the customer leads to profitability

Some businesses are only focusing on getting more customers, but once the customers are there, companies don't spend anything to keep them.

Customers can leave for multiple reasons:

  • We've over-promised but can't deliver on our promises.
  • The rest of the organisation is not delivering the kind of experience the customer wants.

Because you end up acquiring three customers to keep one, that one customer becomes much more expensive.

Get customers to share their experiences

When customers talk about their experiences, it is more authentic than other advertising.

At the heart of remarkable customer experiences is the WISER model:

  • W - witty. It is about being clever, refusing to be boring and using language to your advantage.
  • I - immersive. Ensuring that the entire customer journey is consistent and fluid.
  • S - shareable. It is about intentionally finding places in your experience where people will want to share.
  • E- extraordinary. It is about being better than ordinary.

Becoming WISER

When you become WISE to customer experience, and people start sharing about your brand, you have to become WISER than the competition.

The R stands for responsive. When people talk about your company, you need to be part of that conversation, especially on social media. Responsive is about answering questions, responding to compliments and handling complaints.

Become a customer of your own company

Becoming a customer of your own business means going through the process you're asking customers to go through.

When you go through the customer experience, you may find processes that are confusing, difficult or may break. You'll never find this unless you do it yourself.

Customer experience can be simple

Customer experience does not have to be a year-long, multi-million-dollar process.

It can be a series of little things. If you notice and deal with the little things, to get rid of the pain points and customer irritations and make them better, you're transforming the experience.

CURATOR'S NOTE

Many companies experience the leaky bucket phenomenon. They spend all their energy acquiring new customers but neglect them as soon as the deal is done. Investing in your customer experience can be your best marketing and sales strategy.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
