Satisfying customers is a challenge for any service company. But if you’re growing fast, how do you maintain consistent, high-quality service wherever you operate?
This deck shares the 6 Laws to Customer Experience: 1) Every interaction creates a personal reaction.
2) People are instinctively self-centered.
3) Customer familiarity breeds alignment.
4) Unengaged employees don't create engaged customers.
5) Employees do what is measured, incented, and celebrated.
6) You can't fake it.
3. We’re overthinking things.
Because the truth is, we only need two things to create a successful
online business.
1. A product that genuinely helps people solve a problem.
2. A streamlined purchase journey. One that makes it easy to buy
and that begins where the customer is most active and engaged.

Tips to Success for this Law:
• Don’t wait for organizational alignment (Be Proactive, be a leader/driver)

Bottomline: An External focus is an Antidote to Internal Politics
16. Law 4: Unengaged Employees don’t create Engaged Customers
Tips to Success for this Law:
• Don’t under-spend on training (Learn to grow and improve)
• Make it easy to do the right thing (look into enablers from Technology to Policies)
• Communicate (Internally), Communicate (Externally), Communicate (Holistically)
• Measure Employee engagement (Culture survey, NPS)
Bottomline: Customer Experience depends on Employee Experience
17. Law 5: Employees Do What Is Measured, Incented and Celebrated
Tips to Success for this Law:
• Don’t just “expect” / thing people to do the right thing (Enable, Motivate, Track/Measure)
• Clearly define good behavior (iSTEP and more . . . ie. Resourceful, Customer-centric, etc.)
• Watch out for mixed messages (alignment to OGSM, Values, Vision and Mission)
Bottomline: Don’t blame the employees, Fix the Environment
18. Law 6: You Can’t Fake It
Here are some Implications of this Law
• Don’t hide behind a 4th priority (Customer Experience to be in Top 3)
• Sometimes its better not to start (Customer-centricity takes a lot of work)
• Advertise to reinforce the truth, not just to create positioning (Expectations & Perceptions)
Bottomline: If You’re Not Committed to Customer Experience,
You can only fool yourself
