The new cashierless Amazon Go store is open for business in Seattle , and it could revolutionize the way we shop. At least that’s what some people think. Personally, I’m not so sure. Amazon Go is an 1800 square foot market, with a mix of prepared foods, typical convenience store merchandise and the kinds of grocery items you’d normally find at Whole Foods, which Amazon also owns.

This year, Ian Golding (that’s me), will officially become the author of a book. A lifetimes ambition, I am beyond excited!! However, I would never have got to the point of being on the brink of achieving my ambition without the support of many people. A significant amount of support came via my crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. I feel genuinely blessed that so many people believed in what I am doing enough to pledge their support to make my dream come true.

At a high level, a personalized experience is about giving customers what they want. And when it comes to support, 71% of consumers want the ability to solve customer service issues on their own. They expect support content relevant to their product, service, problem, or question. Irrelevant content is white noise. It wastes the customer’s time, increases their level of effort , and decreases the chances of a successful self-service experience.

First of all, I want to say congratulations to all of the Philadelphia Eagles fans out there. Your team won a great game that capped off an amazing season! I was lucky enough to attend my third Super Bowl (SB LII) yesterday. Unlike the endings in Super Bowls XLIX and LI, my Patriots did not win the game. Here are a few quick thoughts about the experience: Minneapolis was a very welcoming community.

I was so busy through all of January, am just realizing now that I didn't do a writing roundup for December. That's getting a bit long at this point, but I'll include just a couple of items from December in this writeup. Many of my posts aren't that time sensitive, so the analysis often has a longer shelf life than the news-based posts that drive most of social media.

You may have a contact center solution that either includes some version of live chat or offers an add-on live chat option. Unfortunately, not all live chat is created equal. Many of these omni-channel solutions try to address all possible channels of communication and don’t specialize in any one. This causes components of these systems not to include as comprehensive an array of features as dedicated chat vendors who specialize in true live chat solutions.

By Mitch Mitchell Depending what you consider as a good leader, you'll either believe there are lots of good leaders or very few good leaders. As someone who's been ensconced in leadership for a long time I can honestly say that there's a true dearth of effective leaders in the world. There are leaders who've been lucky to make a lot of money, but it says more about their business acumen than their leadership capabilities.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Customer engagement software is a modern invention that takes care of a modern problem. After all, it wasn’t until the rise of the internet that media became democratized , and the one-way communication model between companies and customers was shattered. From the rubble, a new dynamic emerged (the same one we know so well today): organizations spoke to customers and customers held the power to reply.
