Gain a new perspective on your digital customer experience and get closer to what matters Redesigning the way companies work and engage customers and employees in the digital world.
What if you could actually engineer a positive digital customer experience? The question of how to create beautifully personalized, timely and relevant customer experiences is an age-old one. Like most businesses, your organization has probably answered it by putting in place a plethora of disparate back-end systems from CRM and collaboration tools to sales engines and analytics dashboards. However the rapid evolution of mobile access, social media and cloud-based applications is radically changing the nature of customer interactions rendering these traditional, siloed approaches to customer relationship, sales and service management obsolete. In this ebook we ll explore how you can redefine your digital customer experience to transform sales marketing and service success. What s now needed is a new, integrated approach designed from the ground up to live where customers do and deliver powerfully differentiated customer experiences that fit our fast-changing, multi-channel, mobile-and social-enabled world.
It all starts with getting inside the new customer journey As you know better than anyone, today s customer purchase journey is no longer a linear series of transactions. It s a decentralized, dynamic and continuous 24/7 mesh of interactions that includes self-service, peer feedback and multi-channel engagement. Serving customers in this new, non-stop era requires new tools and new rules. Whether you re responsible for sales, marketing or customer service, the trick is understanding how customers think and what they expect and need at any given point in their journey then delivering just that through inspired and differentiated ways that exploit new technology capabilities. Recent research revealed that 66% of consumers will stop doing business with a company due to poor customer experiences. A staggering 56% of customers have paid more for a product because of a better CX.
