By Are you a B2B company struggling with customer experience challenges?

When I go to customer experience conferences, B2B companies are under-represented, both in attendees and speakers. When clients look for benchmark data, B2B reports are few and far between.

Those are just a few examples of why I wanted to revisit a question I posed in a post I wrote two years ago: If you work for a B2B company, is customer experience still an important focus? In short, yes.

Se i tuoi Clienti non hanno un problema allora sei tu ad averlo.

A couple of times a year I guest-lecture for several Masters in Marketing/Customer Management programs in The Netherlands. Almost every time students approach me with a question regarding their master-thesis or other assignment. The most frequently asked question is to help them with the problem definition of their paper that addresses the issue of drafting/implementing/selling internally their multi/omni-channel/crm/customer experience strategy. Unfortunately. (Not that I mind them asking though. Always better to ask than not to).

The check-in area is like a hotel lobby. They have music playing. There’s a beautiful rug. And the whole process is beautifully simple.

You get to the gate and the chairs are quirky and stylish. Your eyes wander over to the purple lighting that’s actually been proven to be calming, that’s why they chose it.

When you board, you see “joke of the day” and the calming purple lighting…again. The touch screens glisten from the back of every seat where you can order snacks whenever you want during the flight, and you can tell the flight attendants actually like being there.

What has Virgin America done? They’ve created a wow customer experience.

What I’ve learned from starting three tech companies

I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but I’m going to…

Technology isn’t the answer to building a great company. Creating a wow customer experience is.

Forbes: L’Empatia, il Design Thinking, e la Centralità dei Clienti

SAPVoice Empathy An Obsession With Customer-Centric Innovation by Kaan Turnali

To deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions through design thinking, we must begin with empathy.

In its simplest and purest form, empathy enables us to not only experience and understand another person’s circumstances, but it also puts us in our customers’ shoes to experience what they are feeling. This is where we find the innate struggle born out of user frustrations and bound to the intrinsic value chain of the user experience.

Without a doubt, empathy is the most important design thinking principle I will cover in this series. Its universal application offers infinite promise.

Customer-centric design is about looking out from the inside—rather than outside in
