Behind every successful business is a clearly articulated Customer Experience Strategy. It drives applications, design, usage, success rates, and customer satisfaction. Without this strategic focus on customer experience, organizations get lost in internally-focused silos and initiatives.
Customers do business with companies through many different channels, but the experience is often disjointed and inconsistent. This creates customer confusion and frustration – or even worse, customers who abandon you for the competition. Too often, companies fail to think through the importance of a consistent customer experience across all channels. Many don’t give much thought to the importance of having the contact center, retail locations, website, IVR, kiosks, advertising, written materials and correspondence match the overall company brand, image and values. It’s critical that organizations live up to the promise of their brand on each and every customer touchpoint. Just “good” service isn’t enough anymore – companies need to differentiate themselves through clear strategy that drives a consistent, excellent customer experience.
