2. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Customer Experience: All the cool kids say they are doing it 2
3. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential But what is “it”? 3
4. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it Voice of the Customer? 4
5. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it Voice of the Customer? 5 Surveys and feedback can capture quantitative and qualitative information around the company, its products and its services. Programmatic approach can be used over time for statistically valid research. Can be executed cost effectively. Has some emotional and rational elements ü  If used in conjunction with Voice of the Employee it can provide a point/ counterpoint view. Doesn’t capture a full sample of your universe – only certain segments actually respond to questionnaires so you may be missing some voices. Doesn’t capture what’s happening along the lifecycle – people tend to remember their last touch. Can’t be totally transparent -­‐ questions can be carefully crafted to elicit responses. Doesn’t totally tell the whole truth – what people say and what they DO is often different ü  Doesn’t capture emotional nuances
6. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it a clickstream? 6 Overall navigation patterns in travel remain complex, right up until the moment of purchase.
7. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it a clickstream? 7 Shows actual clicks and behaviors as someone passes through the digital environment. Tracks time and depth (# pages viewed). Can be correlated with other channels such as email. Can capture promo codes or other attribution elements. If you are ID’d you can dynamically test and manage 1:1 actions. Doesn’t show intent/measure emotions. Doesn’t capture the entire process. Can’t understand the ‘human element’ – why did they do what they did. Can’t track offline actions or influences. Can’t see before and after actions. Can’t track across multiple browsers and browser tabs. Can’t see any activity on other devices.
8. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it NPS? 8
9. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it NPS? 9 Provides a moment in time quantitative view of the relationship. Gives ability to track over time for trends. Allows a company to marshal resources to act upon improvement of the customer experience. Is benchmarked in many industries and company segments, sizes. Simple and easy – one question -­‐ no fieldwork/ Theoretically has emotional and rational respones. Lacks ability to identify and act upon the overarching drivers of customers’ responses – they are in the moment. Doesn’t tell you if they really DID refer – you can get off the hook pretty easily. It’s asked after a whole process is done – few actually track at a granular level. Starting to cause some ‘NPS fatigue’ for both customers and employees. Doesn’t necessarily work across all cultures. Link between company growth and NPS is being contested
10. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it Social Media? 10
11. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it Social Media? 11 With such a large amount of information posted on social media sites it is highly likely that someone will be talking about your brand somewhere. Social media offers a large accessible sample size. Social media presents fresh and organic feedback, great for early exploration into a subject. Customers talk freely about their interests without the constraints of specifically answering an interviewer’s question. A researcher can filter for information they are specifically interested in. Can be more time-­‐effective than traditional observational research, where a researcher would have to wait for the specific information to emerge. The feedback provided may not be very well considered because of the environment it is delivered in. It’s anonymous so it could encourage extremes of opinion . You can’t tell who you are listening to easily – not easy to tie back to your segments, making it less actionable. Can’t follow up to ask further questions or to probe deeper if your weren’t in the conversation to begin with ü  Concerns about privacy
12. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it Big Data? 12
13. ©2015 suitecx – Confidential Is it Big Data? 13 Powerful – can look at wide range of information. If you have the data and ask the right questions you will know with reasonable certainty, the answers. With the right tools, a vast amount of data can be processed in a small amount of time to provide insights. Can be used to predict outcomes. It takes good data and skill sets to mine it to accurately answer your questions. You need data from every part of the lifecycle – sometimes that’s hard to get in face to face or call center transactions. Not a good emotional barometer. Can’t follow up to ask further questions or to probe deeper
