How do we know our customers are happy? How can we find out if we’re doing a good job? Or maybe more importantly, how can we find out if we’re doing a bad job?
We need to know what our customers, clients, members, guests, etc., think about doing business with us. It’s validating to know we’re doing a good job. And, if we happen to learn that we’re not, then we can do something about it. Not just for that individual customer who has a complaint, but for all future customers who might have the same complaint. So, how do we find out?

Customer-centric marketing has several layers of meaning. The most popular layer means personalization of communications, toward increasing customer lifetime value. Without the other vital layers, though, much potential customer lifetime value will be squandered.

Many companies are striving to launch customer experience (CX) programs that will improve their growth, margin, and customer retention. In working with our clients, one of the challenges we see is a tendency to view CX as a tactical effort–something designed to seek out and resolve customer annoyances, particularly in customer service interactions. As a result, company’s CX focus can be narrowed to activities like enhancing customer care processes, front-line employee performance, customer care hiring, and call center training. While these are all good and necessary efforts, this sort of myopia misses the point of what CX really is and what it can do for your company.

In other words, they tell you what your users are trying to do, why they're doing it, how they think, where and when they buy, and whom they buy from. You can use this to tailor your process for each persona, improving both your lead quality and your leads' marketing experience.
