The new book is out! Pick it up here!
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
My local grocer has a problem. All of us who shop there are aware of it, and even compensate for it. But it doesn’t seem that they even realize it. Ours is a pretty urban location in the midst of a university neighborhood. Sure, there are a few families with their 2.3 children each, but [...]
I’ve been thinking lately about what causes CX to go south. Well, okay, I do that a lot anyway. Naturally, considering my Framework, I concentrate a lot of my efforts on identifying processes and systems that are causing misalignment with a Brand Promise. After all, as I’ve written previously, CX is really just an excuse [...]
