B2B organizations say Sales Force Automation is in their top ten technologies for customer experience.

Gartner found that worldwide, 95% of enterprises have used customer satisfaction surveys.

The smaller the company, the more Customer Service & Support, and Sales Force Automation are important.

Voice of the Customer, Business Process Management, Multichannel Customer Service and Master Data Management deliver the highest impact to customer experience.

These and other insights are from Gartner’s recent webinar The Top 10 Strategic Technologies for the Customer Experience (free opt-in, 57 min., slides 37 pp.). The webinar provides rankings and case studies of which technologies are most effective at improving the customer experience based on interviews with Chief Customer Officers. The top ten technologies that Chief Customer Officers say are the most important for enhancing customer experience include Customer Service and Support, Sales Force Automation, Voice of the Customer (including surveys), Content Management, Business Process Management, Customer Analytics (including modeling and insight), Security & Privacy Management, and e-Commerce.

Gartner next applied the three criteria of impact, frequency, and applicability of technologies to determine which of them have the most positive impact on customer experience. B2B organizations have Sales Force Automation in the top 10, yet B2C and B2B2C didn’t, which is why this category is omitted from the overall top ten list below. Voice of the Customer, Business Process Management, Multichannel Customer Service and Master Data Management deliver the greatest impact to customer experience. Case studies covered in the webinar include GE Healthcare, who is using real-time Voice of the Customer technologies to improve response times to negative customer experiences and attain higher levels of service recovery.

Gartner found that globally 95% of enterprises use customer satisfaction surveys. Chief Customer Officers interviewed in this study use customer satisfaction surveys 68% of the time, competitive benchmarks 35% of the time, and first-call resolution rates (33%) the third-most. It’s common for enterprises measuring customer experience to have 50 or more metrics of customer experience.

Based on this analysis, the top 10 technologies for customer experience are the following:

Voice of the Customer
Business Process Management
Multichannel Customer Service
Customer Analytics
Master Data Management
Content Management
Personalization
UX Design Tools and Platforms
Loyalty Management
Privacy Management

CX Journey™: Perchè fare sconti danneggia le Aziende

AICEX: Lato nostro ricordiamo che tenere un Cliente è più semplice che acquisirne uno nuovo. Molte aziende sanno quanti nuovi clienti acquisiscono ogni mese, ma quante sanno quanti ne hanno perso … e perchè?

Is your customer acquisition (and retention) strategy based on discount pricing? How’s that working for you?

Discounts might be working well to bring customers in the door, but do they stay after they’re in? Can you keep those that you acquire? Are you creating a precedence that is not sustainable?

A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post about the phenomenon where customers buy on price but also leave on price. I answered the question, why do customers really leave?

Today, I want to address the acquisition/retention strategy that many companies undertake – discounts: how they play into the price/value equation and how they impact or sabotage acquisition and retention efforts.

Dal Cliente “mordi e fuggi” a quello “per tutta la vita”

AICEX: chissà perché nelle aziende ci ostiniamo a NON fare ciò che sappiamo andrebbe fatto.

Customer service, both good and bad, has a long lasting impact on revenue. Today, customers can immediately go online to voice frustrations and discontent with a brand, and with online purchases and competitor information easily available, a business’s time frame to please customers during the purchasing phase is short.

It’s up to each business to make sure customers are happy at every stage in order to gain repeat business. Now more than ever, businesses need to create a strategy to build relationships that result in a lifetime of purchasing.

With that in mind, here are a few tips to turn a one-time buyer into a lifetime buyer:

Satisfaction e Loyalty, una differenza importante

Customer Satisfaction Definition

Customer satisfaction is a customer’s perceived satisfaction or happiness with a company based on their overall experience with the company’s products and services, the way they’re treated by employees and all other interactions they’ve had with the company. A company’s customer satisfaction score is normally based on data collected in surveys.

It’s important to remember that customer satisfaction can:

  • be fleeting and fickle – here today, gone tomorrow. A customer reevaluates their level of satisfaction with your company after every individual interaction they have. Their online experience may have been great, but a later phone conversation may have been horrible so their response to your question, “are you satisfied,” could change from one day to the next.
  • provide a false sense of security to your company.  For example, cable television customers who have only one service provider available to them in their area may say that they are satisfied with their service because they haven’t experienced any problems. However, they would switch providers in a minute if a competitor came to town with a lower price or more features.
