The problem I have always had with customer experience thinking
Too much fluffy stuff
“Let’s spread love & hug” “Let’s be like Disneyland” “Let’s go WOOOOOWW!!”

The CEO Dilemma
The problem I have always had with customer experience thinking
The CEO dilemma: I get paid in Euros, not happy faces

While I couldn’t translate it into ROI
My intuition told me something was there
The same coffee beans
The futures market (nov 2011)
in a package at the grocery store
at Nespresso
in a paper/plastic cup from a machine
from a machine in a theme park
in a cup in a big city café
at a deluxe restaurant
during my honeymoon with a glass of
100 year old Armagnac
Cost per cup
€ 0.01
€ 0.075
€ 0.40
€ 1.00
€ 2.20
€ 2.50
€ 5.00
I haven’t got a clue!

I became a customer evangelist So full of excitement that there was a business case
Customers are important.
Really, they’re important.
They’re very very very important!

The bad news
Even though Fred’s colleagues disagreed
80% of CEO’s believe they offer a superior
customer experience.
8% of their customers agree.

If you don’t manage the whole experience, you roll the dice.
Any disconnect can break your business

The REAL customer experience
62% of US/UK consumers believe
that the quality of service depends on
whoever serves them.

One brand, two dealers… If you don’t manage the whole experience, you roll the dice.
• 6 month delivery delay
• Wife gets insulted
• Threat to cancel = car appears
• Sunroof doesn’t open (but that’s normal)
• Loaner car is dirty 2nd hand car at 1/3 price
• Invoicing is a mess
• …
• While they keep mailing you promotions

Leadership not walking the talk
Many executives say they want to be customer-centric
THE CUSTOMER IS AT THE
CENTRE EVERYTHING WE DO!
Our satisfaction numbers matter!
Do what is right for the customer!
Let’s have an off-site workshop!
Let’s have a customer day!
![Page 34: Barriers to Customer-Centricity](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030305/587067ab1a28ab48378b5471/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Leadership not walking the talk
But their behaviour says something else
THE CUSTOMER IS THE LAST THING WE
TALK OR THINK ABOUT.
I know the product is outdated, but push it, we
need to hit the quarterly numbers
Can’t we replace our call-centre with an IVR.
All these people cost money!
Can we lock accounts into only buying their
service support from us?
I don’t have time to meet with customers.
“I’m out of here in 2 years anyway”

People copy behaviours, not words
The organisation will learn fast
Customer oriented behaviour
= headache
Grab the money/process focus
= easier silo life, career, bonus, …

But they don’t lose their common sense.
And before you know it, you’ve got a problem
Would you recommend the bank to friends /family?
32% No 28% conditionally
Would you recommend the bank as an employer?
39% No 30% Yes
