The new book is out!  Pick it up here!

Figure it out

I wrote a while back about a pet-peeve of mine when I grocery shop:  Not enough small carts. Now, that’s clearly a small thing (literally!) to get too overworked about.  First World Problems, and all that.  At the risk of delving further into Angry-Old-Man-Shaking-His-Fist-At-The-Clouds territory, let me gripe again about shopping carts. As I’d mentioned, [...]

On the other hand, maybe AI will NOT kill CX

I wrote the other day about what I thought was a conclusion drawn about the impact of automation and AI and all that stuff on CX, from a conversation I’d had with a colleague.  Briefly, I noticed that, absent the incentive of increased costs (tied to increased Customer interactions, which, with automation would now not [...]

AI will kill CX!

One Big Question I hear a lot these days is about AI and automation.  “How will AI impact CX?”  How the heck should I know?  It’s clear I’m the one writing all these articles, isn’t it?  I wonder if we’ll reach the singularity and the world will implode if someone uses AI to write an [...]

What is your word worth?

I recently had a particularly silly experience with the US Postal Service.* I mailed an envelope (containing nothing more than a copy of my very thin, light book) from Denver across the country to a client.  The estimated arrival time on the east coast was to be two days.  In fact, I sent two identical [...]

I’m a greedy networker

I’m a selfish networker.  But hear me out; I don’t mean it the way you probably think I do. When you read that first sentence, you probably conjured in your mind a picture of that guy who shows up to the networking events with a bunch of his business cards, introducing himself around telling people [...]

Operationalize

I used to say that I don’t know anything about Marketing. Then I started spending a lot of time with marketers.  They’re an interesting bunch, and considering that, as I like to say, Marketing and CX share two sides of the same coin—that being the Brand Promise—I’ve had many conversations as our work compliments each [...]

Shu Ha Ri for CX?

Having spent a lot of time in education—corporately doing plenty of L&D work, having had lots of clients delivering workshops and such, and of course as a professor—I’m intrigued by how folks learn.  What’s lost on a lot of educators, unfortunately, I’ve found, is the purpose of education in the first place. Now, I don’t [...]

No, I don’t want to log in

I recently had a ridiculous interaction with one of our household service providers.  I had a general question about one of their policies and went online to check out their FAQs to see if I could get an answer.  A usual pet-peeve of mine, that endeavor was fruitless (whoever determines which questions are “frequently” asked [...]

Getting CX Right: Copper Mountain Resort

I posted about this way back when it happened, but I’m enjoying working from the mountains these past couple weeks, so the experience is in mind, and I figure it’s worth drawing your attention to it in a more formal manner: Copper Mountain ski resort in Summit County, Colorado, is my mountain.  I love it, [...]

Maybe you don’t need CX

Customer Experience is a very important part of advancing your brand.  In fact, as I like to say, CX is the delivery of your brand.  When you think about your Brand Promise, your Marketing team spends a lot of time and energy developing and designing it. It turns to the CX function in your organization [...]
