Automation is pretty cool. It shields us from mundanity, and gives us back time and resources we could better spend on more fun or productive things (or perhaps just things that we haven’t figured out how to automate yet). Because of the allure of automation, bots are sometimes perceived as a threat to humans, particularly their employment. Saving time?

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.

Your customers are the ones that shape your growth, define your offerings, and pay the bills. But are you getting the customer experience wrong? Steve Jobs said 20 years ago, “You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work backward to the technology. You can’t start with the technology and then try to figure out how to sell it.” Yet, to this day, most companies don’t adhere to this philosophy.
