One important facet of efficiency and positive CX is making it easy for Customers to deal with you and navigate your processes.  The reason this is important is because corporations are necessarily defensive entities:  we create processes to protect our organizations from risk and loss.  That protection can come in the form of cash-on-hand, liquidity, [...]

How are you segmenting?

I once helped a company which made several different products and offered many different services build out a Voice of the Customer (VoC) program.  Here were two mistakes they were making: Their first mistake was that they defined their Customers by their own products and services.  One of the important concepts in your VoC program [...]
