Editor's Notes

  1. Companies are obsessed with CX because it’s one of the few remaining sources of competitive advantage Even if you’re not trying to differentiate, most companies have a ways to go to get to “good” consistently
  2. To get good they need to deliver on three things<click>
  3. …fundamentals of a good customer experience. Sure, there are rational factors like effectiveness and ease. We like these because they’re much more tangible and logical. They’re also less important. Out of these three it’s EMOTION…how the experience makes customers FEEL…that strengthens or erodes customer loyalty. We used data from our 2015 CX Index, which covers more than 45,000 consumers, to test that hypothesis and found that emotion was the BIGGEST loyalty lever in…
  4. 17 of the 18 industries that we analyzed. And have since confirmed it with other companies like FedEx and Scottrade.
  5. Incidentally, when we looked at the same data in the US, it held for 17 of the 18 industries we examined. And we’re not the only ones coming to this conclusion. The folks at…
  6. Of the CX-related factors that influence loyalty Of course the customer’s rational perceptions of the experience mattered. They explained about a third of loyalty. But emotions, how the customer felt about their FedEx experience, mattered more. It accounted for almost half of loyalty. One of your competitors got similar results in its study…
  7. Scottrade. They commissioned a study to understand the value of connecting with investors on an emotional level. That research compared loyalty metrics across two groups… Customers who said they feel emotionally connected to Scottrade…and Customers who are highly satisfied with Scottrade but don’t feel that emotional connection. Results showed that emotionally connected investors are: 2x less likely to switch business to another firm..and not only that they’ere FIVE TIMES more likely to move money from other firms into Scottrade. They’re advocactes, too. Emotionally connected customers are 2x more likely to forward information about Scottrade to friends and family. It’s pretty clear….
  8. Unfortunately, though, even when you’re paying close attention to it… The emotional experience is hard to get right. Emotions are abstract, they’re intangible, they very drastically from person to person… and most importantly…they’re ILLOGICAL. How exactly, are you going to manage something like that? It’s hard, which is why there hasn’t been much about it in the CX literature until now. But it is possible First…
  9. as long as you understand some of the quirks of human emotion. Philosophers and scientists have been trying to understand this for centuries, but don’t worry, you don’t need to know all of that. There are three things about the way human emotions work that are important to of us in the CX community. So what I thought I’d do this morning is share my latest research on the role of emotion in CX.
  10. This is one of the most empirically validated findings in behavioral economics. People notice the negative things around them more than the positive. And the emotional response to those negative things feel anywhere from 2 to 5 times stronger than our response to good things. This bias has helped keep us alive for thousands of years… …but it makes the margin for error that much smaller for customer interactions. Second…
  11. Our memory of a past experience isn’t based on the entire experience. It’s a average of two key points in the journey… The most intense moment…and the way we feel at the end of the experience. You could be having an amazing dinner at a fabulous restaurant… and if the waiter disappears without bringing the check even though you told him you had 8:00 theater tickets… ..it casts a pall over your memory of the entire experience. And finally…
  12. We have emotions from the moment we’re born. Long before we have language to describe the way we feel. And most of our emotional processing happens subconsciously. So even if we knew how to describe it we don’t it’s there to be described. Customers try to tell you how they feel. And they get some of it right. But even the most expressive of them can’t give you the whole picture. <Pause> At this point in the conversation I’m guessing that you’ve reached the peak point of anxiety about this whole topic. Am I right? Don’t worry. We’re going to end up in a much better place, I promise. Because even with all these quirks, there are things you can do to get emotional experience right. Plenty of companies do. In fact, when we looked across all 300 brands in the CX Index we found that on average they deliver…
  13. …51% of US adults are concerned about whether or not they’ll have enough money to retire comfortably (PREVIOUSLY 55%) …70% are concerned about the privacy of their credit card information… (NO NEW DATA) (Updated data: Close to two-thirds of US online adults say they are very concerned about their privacy online. This unease is not only characteristic of the traditionally wary older generations — over half of US online 12- to 17-year-olds are also worried about their privacy online. (see endnote 5) …and 52% worry about companies having access to their credit score. (NO NEW DATA) No wonder Discover customers love the ability to see their FICO score every month! You have to understand their hopes, fears, and attitudes to avoid seeming tone deaf to the things they care about. Few things convey context like actually being where your customers are. A large hospitality company took its senior managers to a…
  14. When to describe why she chose this picture, she said… "when you take a batch of cookies out of the oven it feels like you're a happy little kid. They’re so yummy. Something your mom used to make for you." Researchers trained in this technique, and again it does require special training, were able to dig into her selection of this metaphor to learn things about her feelings toward healthcare she wasn’t even aware of. Metaphors are also a great way to share insight on customer emotions with employees. I could TRY to describe this woman’s feelings on a hallway poster that tells employees members want to feel “happy, cared for, and protected.” But it wouldn’t communicate the FEELING in nearly as powerful of a way as talking to them about the way you feel when you make a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies… Interviews are also a great time to look for non-verbal cues. We express our emotions on our…
  15. http://printedvoice.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/pg-44-voiceprint-gettyc2.jpg analytics do a similar thing…using call recordings, and even live calls, they scan for clues to customer emotions based on things like… …volume… …how fast the customer is talking… … the pitch of their voice… …even the length of their sentences. And it isn’t just a reactive tool. You can use voice analytics to detect and respond to customer emotions proactively. For example, the natural language processing system that powers Cabele Deutchland’s IVR listens for growing frustration in the customer’s voice and if it happens, transfers the customer right to a live agent for help. Mattersight’s…
  16. These are the three that Anjali sent me – she worried they might be too specific, but I thought that since it was an example then they might work. Feel free to keep all 3, or I can get a 4th so that they are visually appealing, or to pick 1.

  18. Image source: http://www.airport-business.com/2015/02/london-city-airport-gets-the-go-ahead-for-200-million-expansion/ Declan Collier, CEO, explained that London City Airport (LCY), the only airport with a London postcode, is investing in monitoring technology to assess the passenger journey through LCY in real time. LCY uses technologies that measure pixels to distinguish between bags, staff, and passengers and to proactively anticipate potential delays or bottlenecks in the system. The project, called "The Smart Airport Experience," will allow LCY to roll out a series of services and apps that lets passengers manage preferences, pre-order food, and check the status of security queues. The goal is to guarantee a 20-minute check-in door-to-gate, and a 15-minute arrival tarmac-to-train. Collier wants to keep his airport honest and invites customer comments, good and bad, on the digital displays of the airport. Illustrating just how customer-focused his airport can be, he shared the story of a passenger en route to an important meeting who tweeted that he'd spilled coffee on his shirt, prompting an LCY rep to hand him a new shirt in time for departure.

Image of Safelite or Uber screen shot In particular something showing the Safelite tech who will be coming to your house or the Uber driver who will be showing up (with license plate, picture, rating). Voice over will be “it’s even better to anticipate and prevent potential pain points like the discomfort people feel when a stranger comes to their home or to pick them up. Safelite/Uber do that by telling you up front who to expect so you know you’re not being conned.
  20. http://www.nbtworld.com/expertflyer-seat-alerts-helps-travelers-escape-the-middle-seat/ Dreaded middle seat. The agents tried everything they could to find her an aisle, which she appreciated. But she knew that sometimes happens when you book as late as she had. But Delta wasn’t willing to let it end there. Enter a program called “Middle Seat Monday.” Every Monday morning Delta sends an email any diamond or platinum medallion members who got stuck sitting in a middle seat the week before. The email apologizes and credits 500 extra points to the customers’ account to make up for the discomfort. By doing that, Delta actually MOVED the end of Sheryl’s experience from the end of her flight to this email. And because the email made her feel really valued as a Delta customer her memory of that entire trip got a big boost. Engineering the end of and experience can also keep you in touch with customers who’ve long since moved on to other things. For example, the…

This not only reminds them of the last experience, it taps in to the powerful emotions that led them to give in the first place. The desire to help others. Hopefully I’ve helped you with the…
