It is crucial to be able to determine what is important and what is not.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Customers want and expect a personalized experience. Microdata is specific to an individual person and can help you deliver the personalized experience that customers want.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Consumers want to do business with organizations they trust. Trust is about setting expectations and delivering on those expectations. The first step in any customer relationship should be about building that trust.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confirmit.com\/library\/research-voc-confirmit-state-of-cx-2019-i11a\/?kui=oPP-IwmoB91KODrrw3Y6yw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Confirmit\u2019s recent report<\/a> indicates that a very small number of businesses expect their investment in CX to increase in 2020. This is in spite of the fact that improving CX can lead to more success for businesses overall.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Instead of thinking about ROI, instead, think of ROX\u2014return on <em>experience<\/em>. You must be able to demonstrate this in tangible terms relating to company goals that executives can immediately connect to.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Improving your NPS rating alone will not necessarily lead to an increase in sales. You must examine the operational side of your business and either eliminate or mitigate problems that get in the way of improvement.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Technology can be a powerful tool in creating change, but it is not a solution by itself. There must always be a human element to assist, support, and create a connection.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><strong>Quotes:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\u201cOur expectation as consumers is that the organizations we work with know us and know what we want.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cConsumers want to do business with organizations that they trust. Trust is about setting expectations. Tell people what you\u2019re going to do and then deliver exactly as expected. Build trust by meeting expectations day in and day out across all touchpoints.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cYou must demonstrate the ROI of customer experience. It\u2019s not good enough to just say that this is the right thing to do. You must have the business acumen to speak in terms of your organization\u2019s leadership understands.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cAs customer experience and customer service practitioners, we must align with the overall business strategy. Help leadership understand how we can help them hit those targets.\u201d\r\n<h3><strong>About:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/claire-sporton-1b7a823\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claire Sporton<\/a> is the Senior Vice President of Customer Experience Innovation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confirmit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Confirmit<\/a>, a leading SaaS vendor for multi-channel customer experience, employee engagement and market research solutions.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyken.com\/\">Shep Hyken<\/a> is a customer service and experience expert, <em>New York Times<\/em> bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and your host of <em>Amazing Business Radio<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<strong>This episode of <em>Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken<\/em> answers the following questions \u2026 and more:<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li><strong>How can I convince leadership to invest in customer experience?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>How does customer experience affect ROI?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Why should I invest in customer experience?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>How can I improve my customer service and experience?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>How can I get useful insights from big data?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Takeaways: It isn\u2019t enough to simply gather data.
