The Customer Front and Center
More so than ever before in our history as marketers and business leaders, we have enough information about our customers to truly anticipate their needs. We have buying behavior. We recorded calls from their call center interactions. We have access to their social media accounts. We have survey results clearly stating their interests.
Big Data is an understatement.
Yet, here's something even more important: our customers expect us to use this knowledge to serve them as best as possible.
So are we taking care of our customers? That’s for you to decide.
You most likely have the information you need. You may also have the resources. You probably have their permission to amaze and delight your customers every day.
In this issue, we explore the ways in which the Customer Experience (CX) is evolving, from how we treat consumers to how we treat Business-to-Business relationships.
So once again, are you doing everything you can to serve your customers?
Enjoy.
