Editor's Notes
Customer experience maturity model relies on the human factor
When products are price-led, homogenised, how you make customers feel is where the differentiation lies
I expect – based on being good otherwise I would’t trust you
I experience – compared with others in different markets
I examine
Customers don’t say – I’m not going to use them again because their processes failed (so I cant get an appointment and when I do they forgot to tell me what docs I needed to bring). They’ll recall the inconvenience and frustration at taking a half day off work and getting someone to pick up the kids unnecessarily
Eg BA Avios exchange rate changes – still easy, still functional but they’ve made me feel less loyal
Eg Mortgage offer sent 2nd class post – it’s the most urgent biggest thing in my life, you put me through a four hour interview, the least you can do is put a first class stamp on it.
More likely to lose customers by creating the wrong emotions – when it doesn’t work – than winning customers by creating what we think are wow! – if the basics aren’t in place first
Airport – inconsistency of information or lack of. They want it to be “efficient”
We know it’s the emotional impact that drives behaviour next time, so
The original question was getting at… How can we …
Rather like NPS – get the experience right first…
