Putting a signature on customer experience
Friday, January 20, 2012 · Topics: customer-evangelists, customer-experience
From ChangeThis: To reach it’s full impact, customer experience needs to be thought of as a strategic agenda item on par with and actually integrated with corporate strategy, managing the brand, and new product development. Customer experience should not be confused with existing efforts to focus on customer service or touch-point management. These efforts are focused more on delivering tactical reengineering of customer-facing processes.
As a customer experience leader, you want customers to talk with everyone they know (and don’t know) about your company, employees to live and exude the best qualities of the brand on and off the job, and to be rewarded as a market leader. If you share that vision for your customer experience efforts, here are some strategic tools and ideas to help you do that. · Go to Putting a signature on customer experience →

Reinventing the wheel: Creating lifetime customers
Monday, October 10, 2011 · Topics: customer-evangelists, customer-experience, customer-service
From Chris Zane at ChangeThis: “These types of relationships are not easily formed nor are they formed overnight. They require exceptional care, attention, and a focus on continuously exceeding expectations. At Zane’s, where we have chosen to compete on service rather than on price alone, it means providing unparalleled customer service. We can never accept an unhappy customer, nor look at unsatisfied customer as an inevitable part of doing business. This method goes beyond the mindset of making an unhappy customer happy or simply matching the offers of our competitors. Creating lifetime customers requires that you offer every customer or potential customer more service than they consider reasonable. Further, it means that you actively solicit customer feedback about what you could be doing better and use that information to expand and tweak your offerings to best service the customer.” · Go to Reinventing the wheel: Creating lifetime customers →
