customer experience

Customer experience or CX is the perception a customer has of a company throughout their entire journey, from the moment they learn about the brand until they become a loyal customer or in the worst case, a detractor.

The customer experience encompasses all the interactions a customer has with the company; how the customer learns about the company, the way the offer is presented and facilitates the purchase, how the customer’s problems are solved and how the customer is treated at any given moment.

The quality of the product or service the customer receives, the ease of use and overall satisfaction, not to mention the clarity of invoices, the ease of payment and the speed with which billing problems are resolved.

Customer experience or CX has an impact

Customer experience is important because it can have a significant impact on the financial results of any business or organization. Customers who have a good experience with a company buy more products or services, stay with the company longer, recommend it to others, and very importantly, forgive the company for its mistakes.

There is no magic formula for improvement….

But there are a few things companies can do to get started:

  1. Understand: It is important for companies to understand what their customers want and need.This can be done through surveys, interviews and focus groups.
  2. Key touch points: Not every interaction a customer has with the company is equally important. Companies should identify the key touch points in the customer journey and focus on improving them.
  3. Train your employees: Employees are the first line of defense for CX. It is important that they are trained to deliver a positive customer experience.
  4. Measure CX: It is important for companies to measure their customer experience in order to track progress and make necessary changes.
