Are you trying to lay the groundwork for a standout customer experience management (CEM) program? Is your organization looking to evolve its CX maturity? Neither of these are easy corporate initiatives, but they are necessary for survival in the Age of the Customer.
Technology has empowered customers with countless choices at the tips of their fingers - giving them the freedom to behave differently, and resulting in an increasingly less loyal customer.
Gone are the days of differentiation based on product or price. It has become essential for organizations to differentiate themselves through the experiences they provide.
One of the biggest challenges CX professionals face is how to implement a CX program throughout their organization when faced with processes, support, and organizational structure that impedes their success.
But if customer experience is so important for businesses, why is it so difficult to get buy in from c-suite executives to implement a consistent CX transformation plan?
CX pros are looking for ways to prove the link between CX efforts and financial results.
Investing in CX drives business results. A totally satisfied customer leads to 2.6 times as much revenue as a somewhat satisfied customer and 14 times as much revenue as a somewhat dissatisfied customer.
Customers who feel valued are more likely to stick to a brand then customers who have a poor experience. Great customer experiences drive company growth as a happy customer will advocate for your brand and spread the word.
Ultimately, CX pros need a plan of attack and a play book to get buy in from executives to tackle these issues.
