Reimagine the Customer Experience

What is "Customer Experience" (CX)?

Unlike customer service, customer experience doesn’t focus on one particular touchpoint. It moves beyond just one transaction from start to finish and instead is the overall perception consumers develop after an encounter — of any kind — with the brand.

Every time a customer interacts with a brand- (throughout the customer journey) they are formulating ideas and perceptions of the brand. These touchpoints are critical in making a lasting impression on your consumer.

Customer experience includes all interactions with customers across every touchpoint. Sales experience can be great; however, a damaged delivered product could wipe out the good, as the customer has to call the 800 number only for them to be transferred multiple times before their issue is resolved. Now, that’s bad CX.

Digital CX treats the customer as a single person from one interaction to the next. It connects systems, data, and teams to create a seamless customer experience across every touchpoint. It eliminates silos between business units to lessen friction, enhance customer engagement, and strengthen brand loyalty.

TP Digital transformation is deploying new technologies and leveraging data in all-new ways to improve the experience of your customers.

In order to implement Digital CX, think like a human

To provide CX that builds brand-loyal consumers, design thinking takes an empathetic, humanistic approach.

• It considers how consumers are feeling as they interact with your brand. (User)
• Takes note of the ways to improve their encounters. (Business)
• Implements tools to make each experience effortless. (Technology)
• Listens to them when you get feedback from traditional customer service transactions. (Business)
• Encourages omnichannel presence based on the preference of your customers to communicate, such as voice, chat, email or text. (Technology)

Ensures you’re prepared to communicate; you’re setting a connected foundation that teaches your customers you’re always available for them. (User)

Customer Experience needs a good underlying foundation:

To have a positive customer experience, processes need to be in place to ensure a seamless experience.

Knowing your customers and understanding their journey is not just an exercise in semantics. Organizations that provide the most value to customers are successful because they emphasize a customer-first approach. For instance, they communicate the importance of the customer experience to all stakeholders, as well as clearly define the value that they are delivering.
