4. What is Customer Experience
Customer experience* (CX) is the sum of all
experiences a customer has with a supplier of
goods or services, over the duration of their
relationship with that supplier. From
awareness, discovery, attraction, interaction, pur
chase, use, cultivation and advocacy. It can also
be used to mean an individual experience over
one transaction; the distinction is usually clear
in context. * Wikipedia definition

6. How do you measure customer
satisfaction?
• Customer Behavior – do they come back?
• Customer Comments – private and public
• Advocacy – Referrals
• Customer satisfaction metrics
– Satisfaction Level
– Net Promoter Score – 10 Point scale, how likely are you to refer the product or service to a
friend, Score of 9 or 10 are advocates, 1-6 are detractors. NPS is the difference between the
two.
• Engagement (sometimes)
– Likes, people talking specifically about your product or service (Facebook)
– Twitter Followers
– Pinterest
– YouTube Channel subscribers
– LinkedIn company followers
– Newsletter subscribers
– Blog readers

9. Case Study - Zappos
"We actually take a lot of the money that we would have normally spent on
paid advertising and put it back into customer experience," says Tony
Hsieh, Zappos' CEO. "We've always stuck with customer service, even when it
was not a sexy thing to do.
• 75% of Zappos sales from
repeat customers
• Repeat customers ordered
2.5X vs. new customers in
the 12 months following a
purchase
• Returning customers spend
26% more than first-time
customers

11. Case Study:
Jiu Jitsu and Tylenol
• Jiu Jitsu – Turning around a negative customer experience into a positive
one and as a result creating advocacy.
• Tylenol Case Study
– October 1982, 7 people in Chicago died after taking extra-strength Tylenol
capsules. Someone put cyanide into Tylenol capsules, then put the capsules in
bottles on the shelf of drug stores.
– At the time, Tylenol was the leading painkiller, with 37% of the market. After
the poisoning, their market share dropped to 7%
– Tylenol reacted by pulling all product off the shelf nationwide, being
transparent with the media, and creating new, triple sealed packaging which is
now standard for virtually all OTC pills.
– Within 5 months of launching the new tamper resistant product, Tylenol’s
share was back up to 30%, and the episode is considered the most effective
crisis management case study in history and created the roadmap for handling
future crisis.

Two levels – duration of the relationship and one transaction – each is critical (one bad transaction ends the relationship).Fortunately, people are forgiving if you own up and make it right with them.
Satisfaction – on a scale, how satisfied are you. Looking for 90%+ satisfaction.Net Promoter Score – Question – would you recommend this product or service to a friend or relative. Advocates minus detractors, 10 point scale, 10 is the highest. NPS is the total of the 9’s and 10’s minus the totals of the 1 through 6’s (people are easy graders). Difference is a score. Example – 50% gave a 9 or 10 score in terms of recommending the product or service to a friend, 30% gave it a 1-6. NPS score of 20(%). Average NPS is in the 30’s, Great ones are in the 60’s, Outstanding ones are 70+Engagement is not necessarily an indication of satisfaction or dissatisfaction – depends on how they are engaged. If they are just entering sweepstakes, not necessarily satisfied with your product or service. Same with followers – may just be waiting for coupons.

People can’t see the difference cutting the AIStudy by Siegal and Gale – Simplicity Index but really based on customer satisfactionUsed to be the rule – happy customers told 3 friends, unhappy customers told 10. Now unhappy customers tell thousands.
Proactively dealing with customer issues/problems.1800flowers.com monitors blogs, facebook and Twitter 24/7 with its agency partner, and uses Radian 6 to track and quantify what is being saidMother’s Day – 1MM flowers are delivered over a 3 day period, some orders aren’t going to get thereHad 50 CSR’s on Twitter starting the Saturday of Mother’s Day, and by being proactive with customer compliants turned around the conversation – 18F 2/3rd’s positive vs. FTD which was 2/3rds negative (cited as a success story by TechCrunch).Publically showed the company taking action and fixing problems, which, after they were fixed, customer’s tweeted or posted about.Key Takeaway – customer service issues are now public. Need to respond to them publically.
Perhaps the most passionate company about Customer Service – major reason why Amazon bought them.Thousands of reviewsHighest repeat purchase rate of any monoline E-Commerce business I’ve seen.
VideoFrank Eliason became a legend in creating @comcastcares, but company also narrowed delivery windows and instituted guidelines to answer the phone faster
Expectations – Critical part of customer experience. You don’t have the same expectations in terms of acceleration and handling for a Honda Minivan that you do for a BMW. Managing customer expectations, and overdelivering on them, is the key to great customer experience.John Carter – over a year of negative buzz, bombed at the Box OfficeAvengers – just the opposite, record opening weekendBB – built the business on seamlessly and securely delivering corporate email to a mobile device, then their first tablet trying for the corporate market doesn’t have email.Retail interaction – the store, where its located, the service staff, how easy is the site to use and to buy somethingPurchase – purchase process, delivery versus expectations, easy to assemble, quality vs. expectationsPost purchase support – can I get someone on the phone, to respond to email or a text? How fast, do they take care of my problem quickly. Many companies have a post call survey to get feedback.Advocacy – How do happy/unhappy customers act in social media and talking with their friends. Can you incent advocacy through a loyalty program (points for referrals or posts)
Top – what you can control – Awareness, Retail Interaction/Consideration, Purchase/fulfillment, Post purchase supportBottom – what you can’t control – how the customer is experiencing your product or service. Need to gain insights into this process to optimize Customer Experience. Shopping process, information gathering, purchase process, usage, post purchase experience
- Most comprehensive touchpoint list – color coded by touchpoint as the customer goes through the process- Discovery, search research, decide, purchase, use, help, share, personalize, purchase again, trust, advocacy.
