AICEX: Il Post più originale che abbiamo letto quest’anno … va bene siamo solo a Gennaio : )

It’s the beginning of a new year, which means it’s time for pundits and prognosticators to pull out their crystal balls and make predictions about the twelve months to come.

Bruce Temkin, for example, has published his 11 Customer Experience Trends for 2016 (why 11? Presumably because it’s one better than ten). He has identified such things as Journey Designing, Empathy Training, and Predictive Analytics as areas to watch, and declared that 2016 will be The Year of Emotion.

Who am I to disagree?

But in my view, such trend articles miss the bigger picture, which is that the important facts of the Customer Experience profession will be pretty much the same in 2016 as they were in 2015 and earlier years. These are the non-trends, the things that don’t change, and most of them are more important than the trends.

AICEX: Ecco gli effetti del MIX Oligopolio, Mercati regolamentati e Aspettative dei Clienti 🙂

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.

Airlines, banks, and cable service providers are delivering record-setting profits this year, even though they regularly rank low on most measures of customer satisfaction. The reasons why illustrate the utility of setting expectations, having a monopoly, and being uniquely expert at something, and the danger of assuming that customer-centricity means making customers “happy.”

Airlines

Last week, American Airlines reported record quarterly profits and its first dividend since 1980. Southwest also set a record, and United’s profits were up 51% over a year ago. Delta announced its record quarter a week prior. Customer service seems to have little bearing on these results. Planes are more crowded, and passengers are paying more for tickets and incidental services, like bag check, while fuel costs are down

In fact, airlines rank low in most satisfaction polls — coming in below mortgage lenders in one major survey — and may benefit from consistently lowering traveller expectations, not trying to raise their hopes.

Perchè Starbucks fa poca pubblicità

AICEX: In poche righe un concentrato di CX e Marketing incredibile. Il potere del passaparola, la personalizzazione, la caratterizzazione difficile da copiare. E il bello è che gran parte delle cose le hanno imparate da noi Italiani, che se andiamo in 5 al bar probabilmente ordiniamo 5 caffè fatti in modo diverso (vetro, macchiato, schiumato, caldo, freddo , etc etc … )

Why did Starbucks choose to forego traditional advertisement for so long? originally appeared on Quora: The best answer to any question.

Answer by Paul Williams, former branding and marketing manager at Starbucks, on Quora:

Short Answer: they haven’t needed it. Word of mouth drove the business.

And, most of the ads you’ve seen featuring Starbucks have been done by partners like Kraft and Pepsi promoting Starbucks ice cream, bottled Frappuccino, and whole beans, not ads for the stores.

CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz always said, “Our stores are our billboard.”

I love the quote by Walt Disney that reads, “Do what you do so well that people can’t resist telling others about you.”

That’s what Starbucks was doing–something so well, you couldn’t help but bring a friend to your Starbucks if they were from a town that didn’t have one.

Customer Experience: senza questo elemento fallirete di sicuro

AICEX: A prescindere dal Framework utilizzato i 3 aspetti indicati in questo post sono sicuramente fondamentali. Segnaliamo di verificare per bene il numero 2, senza quello … lasciate perdere : )
Companies already know that acquiring new customers is considerably more expensive than keeping the ones they already have. Satisfied customers are the ones that stick around and, consequently, use and buy more products and promote the brand to other people.

There is also a whole industry based around maximizing customer experience at “all points of contact” with a company, making this a very important topic for companies that want to succeed and have a competitive advantage. In this post I will talk about the three main characteristics that make a great customer experience and give some examples of companies that are doing a good job.

Rule number 1: Build strong relationships

A company that knows what its customers want can build a strong relationship with them. By not only giving customers what they are looking for, but also exceeding their expectations, companies can differentiate themselves. When that happens the satisfied customers return and use more of the companies’ services instead of its competitors. It is important to always stay in touch with customers, not only at the purchase time, but also on other special dates, like sending them an e-mail on their birthday to maintain a good relationship.
