Road to Customer Centricity
Customer is Changing and Expectations rising Companies brand marketing and promises describe the treatment customers can expect: happy, helpful, empathetic agents; a caring ear; a concerned partner; a multi-channel interaction with little hassle and a lot of smiles. Competitors increase their marketing, sales and service options and capabilities continually, usually for the better. Customers interactions within one industry drive change in others. Customers develop their expectations from their general commercial experience and often expect all service providers to rise to the same baseline. Customers experience and familiarity with multiple channels is rapidly increasing. Within the past decade, e-channels went from nerd-niche to general usage. Mobile phones went from a business luxury to a must-have. Knowledge of customer-focused programs at large companies (e.g., customer is job #1 type slogans) has permeated the minds of consumers. Customers know their value to companies, and hold their providers to the standards they proclaim. Source: IBM - The Customer Focused Contact Centre
