If Walker’s report ‘Customers 2020: A Progress Report’ is to be believed, customer experience will be the key brand differentiator over price and product by the year 2020.
If that be so, you as a business owner will need to improve the customer experience of people buying your product or service. Positive customer experience will make your customers keep coming back for more.

Looking at customer experience (CX) and churn in the SaaS environment from a high level, there’s one theme that stands out from the mix: The fact that we live in what’s called a “switching economy.”
The term, coined by economists, describes a current trend impacting switching brands because of dissatisfaction with their experience. It can be a major driver of customer churn—and it’s already creating an incredible economic deficit in the US.

Surveys are ubiquitous. Customers have grown accustomed to seeing survey links at the bottom of receipts and receiving survey invitations by email. The good news about the proliferation of surveys is that it shows more companies are taking customer experience (CX) seriously.
The bad news: customers are apt to experience “survey fatigue”—and less likely to respond to survey requests.
You can combat survey fatigue by designing smart surveys that capture meaningful CX feedback from your customers. Our list of five survey mistakes will help you avoid common pitfalls and grow your response rates.

In the market for a customer experience management solution? Beware: with the increasing attention for customer experience, not all customer experience management software is what it seems or claims to be. Many customer feedback solutions and quite some CRM, marketing automation and Enterprise Content Management system (ECM) cloud solution vendors call themselves providers of customer experience management software these days, even if they’re not really always that. But then again, many CEM solution vendors have risen from a convergence of various solution categories as Forrester Research predicted back in 2011 (with a focus on the digital evolutions). A simple look at some of the major players says enough. Typical examples: SDL Tridion and OpenText with their roots in content.

The number one rule in customer experience (CX) is to meet your customers where they live. Understand their preferences, their challenges. Know what gets their goat. As CX practitioners, we also should know the way, or ways, our customers prefer to communicate with us. Are we giving them their preferred option? Or are we simply using the channels that suit us best?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could predict how much revenue you’d be receiving 2 months from now? 6 months from now? A year from now?
