Understanding the customer experience
November 22, 2012
“Customer Experience is the sum of all experiences a customer has with a
               supplier of goods or services, over the duration of their relationship with
                  that supplier. From awareness, discovery, attraction, interaction,
                              purchase, use, cultivation and advocacy.”

                                                                                     Wikipedia



                   A journey composed of many discrete factual interactions and
                   emotional experiences with a company, its goods and services

You cannot provide customers with a great
              experience, you can provide them with all the
              resources needed for them to build a great
              experience at each step of their journey.




                                                                               ©

Customer Experience is the outcome
                              from a company’s best efforts
                          to make a proposition which will match
                         customers’ attempts to get their job done.

It all begins with
trusted relationships
First person WOM trumps corporate information

It’s about THEM, not about YOU

They are crying for help, not for service

Improve, test, rinse and repeat
Learn about your customers’ job-to-be-done


                                          “If I had asked people what they wanted, they
                                          would have said faster horses.”
                                                                              Henry Ford
                                                     A faster way to get from A to B




                          Customers often do not mean what they say
