Customer Experience (CX) Consulting | TSI

A postive and differentiating customer experience is essential to thrive. What do your customers and constituents perceive about their experience at your organization?

Why Is Customer Experience Important For Business?

An outstanding customer experience is absolutely mission-critical. In today’s world of increasing competition and more discerning customers, the experience that a customer goes through is a game-changer. An excellent customer experience, that makes the “unfair advantage” come to life is paramount to a company’s success. 

According to research, 80% of businesses surveyed say they are delivering superior customer service. In contrast, only 8% of corresponding customers surveyed felt they actually received a superior customer experience. Based on this disparity, it is easy to see how elusive achieving solid customer loyalty can be.

Regardless of whether you are in Corporate American, Higher Education or non-profit, every organization stands to improve in designing and delivering customer experience improvements that leads to improved and long-lasting brand loyalty.

Research shows that organizations that excel in the area of customer experience are among those that are growing the fastest, and in many areas, in a more profitable manner. Since customers are smart, the quality of service they receive often is more meaningful than the product they receive. Every organization needs to be in constant pursuit of customer service excellence that enhances customer loyalty and is based on customer service metrics and the related analysis.

Tools We Use

Customer experience goes beyond just providing good customer service and far beyond when the customer makes a purchase. TSI uses a variety of tools and techniques to understand and improve the total experience to create a long-lasting rational, emotional, sensorial, and possibly spiritual impact on the customer.  

To achieve breakthroughs in customer service and customer loyalty, we will utilize voice of the customer analysis, by understanding the key personas that are germane to the organizations. We will map the current customer experience and analyze the “moments that matter” so we can define an improved customer experience.

This often starts with developing self-awareness after one’s process is documented and analyzed in the following ways:

  • How ETDBW (Easy to do business with), was this process from a customer service and customer experience perspective? 
  • How would your customers rate the experience overall?
  • What impact does this have on customer loyalty?
  • Aside from the efficiency and effectiveness aspect of the transaction, did the transaction have any emotional connection from a customer experience perspective that left the customer with a memory that was more positive, neutral or negative in nature?

Finally, TSI concludes our customer experience improvement projects with specific and detailed recommendations that we typically help to implement. In parallel, we define key performance indicators so we can truly, and objectively measure the customer service experience impact.

Understanding the customer journey is crucial to improve the experience.
