Definition customer experience Customer experience is a personal and subjective response that customers have on direct or indirect contact with an organization. By influencing this customer experience the organization tries to evoke several kinds of perceptions to a customer: emotional, physical, sensorial, rational en relational, where customers and the organization co-create unique, meaningful experiences in order to achieve a profitable, durable and affective relationship that gives value to all stakeholders. 10
Customer Journey A customer journey map is simply a diagram that illustrates the steps, events, and experiences your customers go through when engaging with your company. It is an end to end map of your business from a customer s viewpoint awareness, shopping, buying, service, billing and spans all aspects, touchpoints, and channels of your business. 11

Example 1 If you order a PlayStation online and it gets snatched from your doorstep, that s your problem, right? It s definitely not the problem of the company who fulfilled their end of the bargain by shipping the system using a secure method. However, when this happened to an Amazon customer, he called them to beg if there was anything that could be done because his son was expecting a PlayStation from Santa. Much to the customer s shock, they not only sent another, but they didn t even charge him for shipping. It even made it there on time for Christmas. 14

Example 3 A customer s mother had recently had some medical treatment that left her feet numb and sensitive to pressure and also rendering most of her shoes totally useless. She ordered her mother six pairs of shoes from Zappos, hoping that at least one of them would work. After receiving the shoes, her mother called Zappos to get instructions on how to return the shoes that didn t work, explaining why she was returning so many shoes. Two days later, she received a large bouquet of flowers from Zappos, wishing her well and hoping that she recovered from her treatments soon. Two days later, the customer, her mother and her sister were all upgraded to Zappos VIP Members, which gives them all free expedited shipping on all orders. 16

Resuming conclusion of examples CE (customer experience) is a result of all interaction a customer has with a firm. This can be fun, joy, frustation, excitement, but also unconscious behaviour: the emotional connection between firm & customer which determines satisfaction, loyalty & advocacy. Pay attention to advocacy! This is very benificial for the firm. Superpromotors are for free and the have a huge influence! 25
20Concept Customer Experience Management 26
Measuring customer satisfaction NPS Net Promotor Score: How likely is it, on a scale from zero to 10, that you will recommend Ikea to a friend or collegue? 0-6 = Criticasters, 7-8 = Passieven, 9-10 = Promotors % Promotors - % Criticasters = NPS Net Promotor Score is between -100 and 100. 27
Example NPS 100 responses on your survey: 10 reactions between 0-6 (Criticasters) 20 reactions between 7-8 (Passives) 70 reactions between 9-10 (Promotors) Percentages for each group are respectively 10%, 20% & 70%. Substract 10% (Criticasters) from 70% (Promotors). This gives the NPS as a number: 60. 28

20Types of Customer Experience FASTR Feel, referring to the emotions and feelings in the experience; Act, referring to physical experience and behavior; Sense, when it comes to the sensory experiences as smell, taste, sound and touch; Think for rational, intellectual and cognitive experiences; and Relate, referring to social identity, relational experiences resulting from relations with a (peer) group, culture or lifestyle. 30
Levels of customer experience 1. Interactional experience level at 1 point of the customer journey 2. Relational experience level: experience one gets from interacting of communicating with certain individuals or departments of the firm. 3. Channel or transactional experience level, where experience differs depending on the used communication channel. 4. Customer journey experience level which is a composition of the previous three experience levels concerning the customer journey. 5. Brand or organizational experience level where it comes to the experience that derives from contact with the virtual brand or organization. 6. Total customer experience level, which covers the experience a certain person can get from all his contacts and touch-points with an organization in his life. 31
Strengths of CX The ultimate, superior experience is the so called flow The customer experience starts at the first contact, and develops in strength, direction and types on all following interactions, touchpoints, communication. The FASTR-components vary in time, depending on the type of interaction, but also shaping and reshaping the total customer experience. In that way we can not speak of customer experience as a static entity 32
