In what seems like light years ago now, business success was all about producing the best product. Companies generally didn’t give too much thought to a buyer’s experience with their brand.
Today, customer experience is table stakes in business. In fact, more than 80% of brands say their success will soon or be almost entirely dependent on customer experiences.
Excellent CX drives sales, builds customer trust and loyalty, and increases customer retention. The numbers speak for themselves: Companies with best-in-class customer experience management achieve year-over-year customer profit margin improvement 527% higher than their peers, and 359% greater company revenue growth.
In the wake of COVID, CX has only become more critical as buyer behaviors and needs rapidly shift. The pressure to get it right is higher than ever. How do you keep up?
