Here’s a random thought that occurred to me the other day. I promise I’m going somewhere with it, though: The deli should be at the front of a grocery store. Now, I’m in way over my head here, because I’m sure that there’s a lot that goes into the planning of the layout of such [...]
Articulating the return on investment (ROI) of Customer Experience efforts is a recurring theme among CX professionals. As I moderate panels on webinars and sit as a guest on podcasts, listen to my peers talk, and read articles, I hear the questions all the time: How do you define the ROI? How do you sell [...]
If you’re looking for a reason not to use NPS as your top-line CX metric, I’ve got one for you: Depending on your business and/or your business model, it’s just plain dumb. […]
I was recently speaking with a friend who’s a Chief Customer Officer. She was in good spirits but nonetheless was lamenting a bit about her colleagues: “It’s like I feel I have to defend my existence sometimes,” she said. Oh, boy, have I been there.

I’ve been thinking about this recently and, while obviously each company is unique and every situation different, it occurs to me that where a CX function resides isn’t nearly as important as is what it’s chartered to do.

“You’re soaking in it.” Do you remember that commercial for dishwashing soap that was supposed to be so incredibly good for your skin that the lady who’d gone in (to see Madge, remember?) for a manicure was unknowingly enjoying its benefits, thinking she was dipping her fingers into some wonderful skin tonic?
