Radical Transparency: A Key To A Better Customer Experience
LinkedIn
February 04, 2023
Most customer-focused businesses work very hard to streamline their encounters and interactions with potential clients, curating the experience to the smallest detail so every step of the process can be managed and controlled. It all starts with a customer journey map that optimizes the process. When the process is consistent and predictable, you start to build trust with your customers.

7 Ways To Create A Content Experience
LinkedIn
July 30, 2022
Content marketing is a sound strategy. Using email, texting, and social media, companies, and brands are taking advantage of an effective way to connect with customers. Most companies use content to deliver value-added information that gets customers excited about what they sell. That makes sense, but it’s limiting. Think beyond marketing and sales. You don’t just want people to buy your products and services. You want them to experience your company. Beyond what you sell, you want customers to know who you are, what you stand for, and more. A good content strategy helps make that happen.

How To Be A Customer-Obsessed Company
LinkedIn
June 11, 2022
“A customer-obsessed organization starts with knowing what the customer wants.” That’s the message from Jeffrey Mezger, chairman, CEO and president of KB Home, a homebuilding company founded in 1957. Mezger joined the company in 1993 and has the lofty goal of being the most customer-obsessed homebuilder on the planet. I had the opportunity to interview him for Amazing Business Radio, and he shared some of his business philosophy—and his obsession—about customer service and experience. While Mezger is in the home-building business, everything he shared in the interview applies to virtually every business. Here are a few of the highlights with some of my commentary:

Amazon
November 02, 2021
Your customers are smarter than ever. They know what a great customer experience is. They expect a higher level of customer service than ever. They no longer compare you to your competitors, but instead to the best experience they have received from anyone. It doesn't matter if you sell B2B or B2C, the experiences your customers have with iconic brands such as Amazon, Ritz-Carlton, Apple, etc. set the benchmark for which you are judged.

Shep Hyken, a leading expert in customer service and CX, has created the Achieving Customer Amazement (ACA) report to help you understand the importance and the power of delivering an amazing experience. The ACA is report on customer preferences, habits, and wants to help you create an amazing customer experience.

The stats and facts make the case for the importance of delivering an experience that gets customers to want to come back. It takes more than a great product. Unless you have something that is unique and can't be replicated, you have competition. The customer can choose to buy from you or your competitors. What differentiates you is the experience you provide.

So, dive into the report. You will find information and commentary that will confirm you're already delivering an amazing experience - or will motivate you to do so.
