Introduction In 2003 Fred Riechheld introduced the Net Promoter Score (NPS) as the “one number you need to grow” within the customer experience field. Since that time, many companies have adopted this measure. At MaritzCX we are often asked about our perspective on the use of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) versus other customer experience.

Adding live chat for customer service was supposed to solve all your service challenges. Investing in the channel was a no-brainer, or so you thought! It would allow your staff to delight customers with quick, frictionless support. For most Customer Support Managers, that hasn’t happened yet. Even Amazon, with its ‘world’s most customer-centric business’ ethos, hasn’t avoided embarrassment.

The sign read as follows: Trans fare ncy [Trans-fair-uhn-see] n. Philosophy created by Southwest Airlines in which Customers are treated honestly and fairly, and low fares actually stay low – no unexpected bag fees, change fees, or hidden fees.

Our customers are getting smarter every day. But are we performing smart marketing too? I don’t think so. When I have the chance to look at what most organisations are doing, I see that they are still living in the past of traditional media and have hardly dipped their toes into new media. Or they are using social media but still treating it as if it is traditional media!

In case you missed it, Richard Thaler won the Nobel Prize in Economics. He’s a well-known behavioral economist and author of the popular book Nudge. Thaler often collaborated with another behavioral economist (and one of my favorite economists of all time), Daniel Kahneman, who won a Nobel Prize in 2002. You may have seen Thaler in this scene from The Big Short where he and Selena Gomez explain a financial instrument called a synthetic collateralized debt obligation (CDO).

Theory is one thing. Implementation is another. Ideas are useless if you can’t apply them. The idea I often share is that customer emotions influence over half of your Customer Experience. However, just knowing customers are emotional doesn’t help your business….unless you know how to use this information to improve your business outcome. How your customers feel about your experience is the most significant factor to your Customer Experience success.

The Problem. Nobody likes over-the-top communications or to feel ‘pushed’ through a seller’s experience. People prefer being in control, so they prefer buyers’ experiences. However, many organizations still treat their future clients in a one-size-fits-all, seller-centric way. It does not have to be like that. The Solution.

The “chalk and blackboard” model ruled the education sector until digital classrooms took the world by storm. The offline model has many limitations such as attending a physical classroom and paying for hefty accommodation if someone is moving across cities. The digital model, on the other hand, is convenient and a participant can learn any course online, sitting in their pajamas and munching snacks.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
