'I was listening to a recent episode of the ConversionCast podcast where they were discussing a test they ran on a website to try and collect more leads. The original page focused on just collecting information via an online form. The better performing page included a shortened form and an prominent phone number call to action. The company realized that a phone call lead was worth ten times more than a online form lead.

'In your company, is "customer focus" just a poster on the wall? Or is it a way of doing business? How many times have you walked into an establishment and been bombarded by posters or signs about customer satisfaction, listening to customers, great customer service, etc.? Do you wonder if those posters are just posters, i.e., all fluff and no stuff?

'I originally wrote today''s post for The DiJulius Group ; it was posted on their blog on May 15, 2014. Is your company short-sighted when it comes to the customer? I''ve been using the phrase "short-sighted" a lot lately, and it got me thinking about how too many companies are short-sighted when it comes to customer experience management. If you''re not familiar with the phrase, Merriam-Webster defines it as: not considering what will or might happen in the future; made or done without thinking

How do you determine if a customer has “adopted” your service or product? How do you accelerate adoption? Firstly, your organization should define adoption with respect your product or service. There are features and functionality that are “more sticky” that should influence your definition of adoption. That stickiness occurs when a user can’t effectively perform their day-to-day tasks without it – sure they can actually do their work but it will take more time, effort or both.

'The date September 11, 2001 is not only a day that lives in infamy, it represents the high water mark for the corporate security industry. Companies rushed to hire marquee security directors or increase the profile and cache of their incumbent CSOs. They issued mandates to rebuild or dramatically enhance their security organizations.

Updated May 2020: Companies place a great deal of importance on meeting customer expectations. According to Forrester, nearly 95% of leaders say that providing a good customer experience is a top strategic priority, and 75% want to use customer experience as a competitive advantage. But it’s a big, crowded marketplace out there, full of consumers that want different things at different times via different channels.

'My View From The Podium. As a professional keynote speaker , I know that the obvious part of my job is, well, obvious: I get up on a stage, freshly showered and dressed–me, not the stage–and kick off an event by speaking. For a brief amount of time, usually about an hour. What happens onstage during that brief amount of time is what I’d like to look at today.

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.
