Either ways, the objective is to have substantial data and information in hand to know current state and opportunities to grow for an enhanced Customer Experience Management in your organisation.

This is how you get started:

Want to drive it yourself

  • Conduct or review your recent customer surveys, service logs or CRM data can help you find low hanging fruits.

  • Talking to employees and listening to reasons causing frustration in their day- to-day work while dealing with customers. Their experience counts in overall customer experience

Hire a Third party

Ask for one of the following approaches to conquer quick results:

  1. Assess your current CX Management maturity levels. Consider this as an audit to your current status on policies, people, products, systems and premises around customer experience management.

  2. Create customer journey maps for critical customersHelps you draw an outside in view and a visual representation to a variance in customer’s actual state and desired state with regard to experience throughout their interaction with your product or services

  3. Release a consumer research program  (could include all stakeholders) to derive customer perspective and hear directly from them on what they think could help them experience

60days - Create your CX blueprint

Now that you have examined and understood the current picture, you are at a strong foot to take next step.  Take these few steps to move forward:

  • Elaborate this information and have an insight to identify the opportunities.

  • Share and discuss with key stakeholders to prioritize and set near term and long term goals

  • Build a roadmap and get a buy in
