will yield results that pays off.
3. Are the majority of your CX efforts focused on
addressing the customer’s pain points?
Be extremely clear on the facts as to what problem you solve for which
customers. Always remember understanding the pain points of your
customers is of more importance than what you sell. This type of thinking
also helps to stop you from being marginalized by upcoming new
technologies and new market entrants. Since, as businesses evolve and
technologies change, if you stay focused on the emotional and tangible
needs of your customers, you will gradually understand which problems
you solve better than anyone else in your businesses.
#1. Define the Issues That You Solve For Your
Customer Better Than Anyone Else
#2. Pay Extra Attention on Ideally What Should
Happen For the Customers As You Solve
Their Need

Focusing your efforts and attention in finding out what will happen to
your customers once you solve their needs, will make you reach a future
state which is much more compelling. In other words, don’t just focus on
current situations and pain points, but look beyond, which will help you
in minimizing wasted efforts in the long run. Try emailing simple and
easy to read EOBs (Explanation of Benefits) to the customers so that they
can tell you how they got benefitted once their problems and pain points
disappeared. However, don’t think your customer’s will tell you how to
create an ideal customer experience, since customers can never envision
what they need and so any attempt to make them do so can prove
fruitless. Actually, a customer does not see a need for improvement once
their specific problem is solved. Who could have described an Android
phone 15 years ago? Hence, it is your job to develop innovative and
ground breaking ideas after focusing on the EOBs.
A ‘Critical Moment’ is the point in the customer’s journey that has a
disproportionate impact on the failure or success of their journey. So, by
focusing and identifying on this moment, which matters the most, you
can always find the biggest wins with the least amount of effort.
For this, you can develop a customer experience measurement system
that will help you to measure values your customer derives and then
translate them into increasing your organization’s performance. For
example, many organizations in the recent times use customer
satisfaction scores for measuring how customers are responding once
their problem is solved.
#3. Focus and Identify the Critical Moments in
the Customer Experience

Critical Moment analysis is best achieved by using a
single and unified CRM platform that spans through all customer
touch-points, as opposed to the numerous siloed customer relationship
and marketing software that saddles marketers with multiple fractured
Though it is harder said than done, focus your time on investigating and
eliminating things that hurt your customer experience or things your
customers do not actually value or want. Since, if you stop developing
things that your customers do not care about, you can free up resources
to fund other impactful activities that will help in improving your product
or service’s CX.
For an example, if you find that your customers are not reading your
newsletters and company reports, or have never felt the need to use
certain functionality in your system, stop creating them.
In other words, cut the unnecessary to propel your customer experience
management with something that is required and is in demand by your
customers, to reach a new level in CX.
