Questions to ask before implementing a customer experience management program
Boosting customer experience (CX) is on every business’s to-do list these days, and it’s no surprise why. When faced with fierce competition, exceeding customer expectations by delivering superior value through overall customer experience can give a company a definite Unique Selling Point (USP).
Well, to be honest, it isn’t a bad idea. However, if you are a company that doesn’t have a background in managing customer experience, you might have to carry out some basic self-evaluation. Below are the questions you need to ask yourself. Your answers to these questions will determine how effectively you are running your customer experience management program.
1) Are you committed to the cause and do you have the resources to sustain the program?
A lot of businesses talk greatly about the importance of customer service and customer experience. Most of them, however, look at it as an operation and rarely factor in the actual customer.
For a business to be successful with CX, a firm’s belief in its importance must be present among all quarters. Additionally, the correct resources, including human resources who must share the same views on CX, need to be directed towards this objective.
So, before you invest, make sure CX is treated as a high priority item across the length and breadth of your organization.
2) Do all entities within your business share the same view on what your customer experience must look like?
Treating CX with equal significance is one thing, but for it to be successful all members within your business must share the same approach to it. Although CX ultimately means treating the customer well, it could mean different things to different people.
The only way to avoid trouble in this area is by bringing the leadership together to collaborate and reach a consensus on the topic. No amount of data and analytics can match up to the power of a good old discussion.
Always avoid running the risk of creating an environment where everybody follows a different approach to CX.
3) Will data from the CX management program be used effectively and continuously?
Many businesses end up ignoring their CX management programs in the long run to the point where it is no longer relevant.
In order to prevent this, all concerned parties within the business must encourage using the data obtained from the system to improve the CX. A CX management program requires a leadership team who will advocate its benefits to the rest of the organization. They need to be able to show how the program helps the business achieve its overall objectives and how it fits into the company’s journey.
Your business’s leadership must also ensure that all employees are trained on how to leverage the program in order to provide the customer with a top-notch experience.
