If you’ve ever worked in the service industry I’m sure the chant “the customer is always right” still rings in your head. Customer service and the customer journey are not new concepts. However, the medium that customer service is carried out through today is new. With the eruption and growth of the internet over the past 20 years – the entire customer journey has been rewritten – no matter how long you’ve been in business or what industry you’re in. As the way we do business evolved, the customer experience evolved with it. But why has it been so difficult for businesses to transition?

If you’re familiar with the Gartner Hype Cycle, you’re probably familiar with the “peak of inflated expectations” and the “trough of disillusionment” that are precursors to the “plateau of productivity” represented by emerging technologies. While Customer Experience (CX) is not a technology (although technology supporting CX is becoming more and more prevalent in Gartner’s hype cycle), you may be observing a similar CX evolution in your organization and in the market.
A new era of Customer Experience is upon us as CX moves steadily towards becoming a de facto strategic imperative for any organization seeking competitive differentiation and business growth in today’s marketplace. To provide some insight into the current state of the CX market, and provide a bellwether of how well organizations are actually able to quantify the impact of their CX initiatives as they seek to achieve competitive advantage, Customer Think just completed a new primary research study entitled “What Drives CX Success?” (sponsored by Verint).

Companies are obsessed with providing the best possible customer experience and for good reason. When something goes wrong along that journey–necessitating a call to customer service–getting the customer quickly back on track is critical to minimizing the impact on the experience. Companies are especially interested in how these interactions go and hunger for data to help ensure the best possible customer journey.
Enter customer surveys. Done correctly, questioning customers about their service interaction is a great opportunity to gauge customer disposition and to correct service issues. Done poorly, surveys fall short of collecting actionable data and ultimately have a negative impact on customer experience.

Therefore price becomes a major factor in winning business – but in a market this big, no one can win on price all the time. Consequently, businesses need to generate value outside price and deliver a superior customer experience if they want to win market share.
