2. Customer Experience

as perceived through a customer’s conscious and
subconscious mind.

It’s a complex process of understanding your
organization’s relationship with your customers.
When addressed effectively, customer experience eases
customer acquisition, drives customer loyalty and
improves customer retention.
LOGO
4. Customer Experience
A customer experience is about a rational experience
e.g. how quickly a phone is answered, what hours you’re
open, delivery time scales, etc.
More than 50 percent of a customer experience is
subconscious, or how a customer feels.
LOGO
5. Customer Experience
A customer experience is not just about the ‘what,’ but
also about the ‘how.’
A customer experience is about how a customer
consciously and subconsciously sees his or her
experience.

LOGO
8. 1. The Voice of the Customer
Emotions account for over 50% of an experience
and can be captured qualitatively
Encourage and measure feedback from customers
across all channels and touch points.
Customer perceptions of the company and
experience should be measured, analyzed, and
acted upon to drive the customer experience
forward.
LOGO
9. 2. KPI Benchmarking
In addition to qualitative feedback gathered above,
quantitative key performance indicators (KPI’s)
that measure progress towards customer
experience goals should be established.
These may vary from organization to organization,
but it is important to ensure the KPI’s selected
have a significant impact on the customer
experience, are measured accurately, and can be
acted upon.
LOGO
10. 3. Diverse Communication Channels
Customers have unique and diverse preferences on
how they would like to interact with companies. The
more communication channels you provide, the more
likely it is that you cover their desired channel.
Emerging channels such as chat, online communities /
forums, and social media (LinkedIn, Twitter,
Facebook, etc…) are popular among younger
demographics, whereas the telephone is still the
method of choice for older customers.
LOGO
11. 4. Engage Your Employees
Employee engagement has a positive impact on
customer engagement. Aligning employee incentive
programs such as bonuses to customer metrics is a
great way to improve the experience.
Example, information infrastructure provider EMC’s
online community lets employees connect and engage
through blogs, social networking tools, and RSS feeds.
Employees are now well connected to the company
strategy and culture, with a positive impact on
customer service.
LOGO
12. 5. One View of the Customer
Nothing destroys a customer experience better than a
broken / incomplete view of the customer across
different departments or channels.
Provide a complete view of the customer and
interaction history across all channels and touch-
points in the organization to ensure this does not
happen.
Customers should experience little to no disruption
when being transferred between channels for support.
LOGO
13. 6. Create A Knowledge Foundation
Understand what your customers want and need,
and continually model this information into a
knowledge base.
Provide your agents and employees with rapid
access to this knowledge to ensure consistent
experiences and the right support is provided to
your customers with each interaction.
LOGO
14. 7. Customer-Focused Business Decisions
With each business decision your organization
makes, you should ask one question: what is the
impact on the customer experience?
This impact should be a key factor in your
decision-making if improving the experience is a
core objective of your business.
LOGO
15. 8. Actionable Insights
When measuring your customer experience
performance, the first thing you should ask is:
what does this data tell me about changes in the
customer experience?
The second thing you should ask is: how can I turn
this data into actions that can drive the customer
experience forward?
LOGO
16. 8. Actionable Insights
The whole reason to measure and analyze
customer experience data is to come out with
ideas and actions that improve the experience
overall.
Continually measure, implement recommended
actions, and premeasured their impact to
consistently create positive customer experiences.
LOGO
17. 9. Recognize Effective Employees
Publicly recognize and reward employees that
most positively impact the customer experience.
Motivated employees translate into a much better
experience for your customers overall.
Tying employee incentives to customer experience
is an effective strategy for improvement.
LOGO
18. 10. Segment and Personalize the Experience
Segmentation and personalization should be
undertaken once an organization has developed
customer experience maturity.
It is a complex strategy that is tricky to get right but
pays big dividends.
LOGO
19. 10. Segment and Personalize the Experience
Segmenting customers and personalizing their
experience based on factors such as life time
value, profitability, and demographics provides
them with more enjoyable experiences when done
correctly.
By managing the level of service provided to
customers based on their value, you also make
your organization more profitable and efficient.
LOGO
20. 11. Simplify, Simplify, Simplify
Whether it’s a customer experience with a product,
service, store, website, or any other touch point,
strive to make the experience as simple and clear
as possible.
Customers are turned off when something is
confusing, unclear, or takes too much time.
Eliminate this possibility by modeling your current
customer experiences and finding ways of
simplifying them.
LOGO
21. 12. Establish and Share A Vision of Target
Customers
To truly create a customer experience
differentiation strategy, your entire organization
needs to be intimately familiar with your
customers.
Build thorough profiles of customer personas and
ensure they are updated, shared, and understood
by everyone in your organization.
LOGO
22. 13. Be Proactive
Don’t wait for a flood of customer complaints into
your contact center before you resolve issues
related to customer experience… by that time the
damage has already been done.
Establish a pro-active voice of the customer and
data measurement program to predict changes in
the customer experience and resolve issues
before they become a problem.
LOGO
23. 14. Experience Differentiation
Understand the customer experience of your
competitors to identify strengths, weaknesses, and
gaps.
Offer a core experience and value proposition that is
unique, different, and capitalizes on areas where
competition is weak.
Starbucks is a great example of this strategy, where
they have successfully differentiated not on coffee but
on the in-store experience itself.
