the consumer experience in your business
Have you ever wondered if your business can benefit from a better consumer experience?
According to Peter Drucker, author and business
administration consultant, "What can't be measured can't be
improved." Every business benefits from knowing the expectations and
feelings of the consumer to design the best experience for its customers. In
addition, businesses that monitor and measure their consumers' experience
discover how they can improve it and increase their profits. Your business can
also follow the lead of large organizations like Disney, Amazon, and Starbucks.
Design experiences that positively surprise your customers and you will earn
loyalty and income.
How do you measure
the consumer experience in your business?
The customer is the main axis in the practice of the
consumer experience, also known as Customer Experience (CX). This discipline
seeks to know what the consumer expects (expectations), what they do, think and
feel in each interaction with a business. But how does a business discover this
information? Simple, asking the consumer .
Any company can add this practice to its business model.
There are solutions for all budgets. The simplest is to maintain direct
communication with your consumer. Listen to him and show him that his opinion
and experience count.
In consumer experience practice, each customer is different
and so should service. The business segments its customers by their
expectations. Then design the experience that meets and exceeds expectations at
all points of contact (corporate phone, customer service, website, mobile
application, communication, offers, physical and virtual premises, purchase
process, shipping and receipt of merchandise or service , installation, etc.).
The next step is
measurement . The key metrics for measuring consumer experience programs are
divided into those related to:
• consumer voice
• the voice of the processes
• the voice of the employees
In this article we will focus on those related to the voice
of the consumer. Also, some employee voice metrics are related to the feedback
they receive when interacting with the consumer (sales, customer service and
installation, for example).
