- 116. You can’t be everywhere at once •Target a channel pair •Focus on incremental progress •Measure stuff •Celebrate (and communicate) quick wins •Get allies to spread the work
- 117. Finally… (and this one is hard)
- 119. Let go of control • It’s okay when other people start talking about the customer experience • It’s okay when other people try to improve the customer experience • It’s okay if you aren’t involved in EVERYTHING • It’s okay if you aren’t the only one making a difference. Isn’t it all about the customer?
- 120. EVERYONE should care about customer experience
Editor's Notes
- I currently work at REI, managing experience work.
- But most importantly (at least to this conversation), I spent 10 years in the restaurant and bar business and waited on a LOT of customers.
- But I had just arrived
- I later learned that the Parker Hotel has a ‘no sign’ policy.
- They made us take off our conference badges anytime we left the conference ‘sequestering’ area. They yelled at us if we walked around the property with our badges on.

- So, why should you care about this?
- They hear about you from print advertising
- From all sorts of physical messaging
- Door picture
- Regardless of how I was interacting with the Parker – whether it was making a reservation online, calling them to check something about my reservation or physically at the hotel. I was the same person, the same customer interacting with them.
- I want to look into changing my seat while I check in for my flight, and don’t want to pull out and boot up my computer. Heck, I have an iPhone, I shouldn’t have to. I get my flight number via an email confirmation of my itinerary. And the email links me to a app to check in. Sweet.
- But the mobile app will only let me check flight status. Arrgh.
- Damn. I have to pull out my already packed computer
- Find the US Airways site (because I always forget the URL and end up at some advertising site instead)
- And the flight number that I just confirmed IS NOT RECOGNIZED.
- WAAAAAH. I can’t check in online. I can’t change my seat.

- BUT. When I get to the airport the next morning, no one is at the US Airways desk. Not only that, there isn’t even a self service kiosk!!! I had to hang out in the check in area for over an hour before I could check in for my flight. And by then I couldn’t change my seat.
- And one more reason you should care about customer experience beyond the website….
- Okay, so how to start thinking about holistic customer experience.

- Being consistent is important, but you also want to maximize the capabilities of each channel.
- This touch screen reader in a conference hotel was super handy for finding the room I was supposed to be in without having to ask for anyone or log into a computer.
- I think a lot of iPhone apps are kind of stupid and don’t maximize the strengths of the phone. But I really like this feature in Target’s app – it can tell you which aisle a product is in at your local store. Wow. I pull this up when I’m in a Target to save time and easily find the product I want to buy.
- There are a lot of tools to help you design for a holistic customer experience.
- And a lot of related disciplines.
- Ritz carlton
- Checking out the wayfinding
- And other signs. Hmmm – this one is hard to see because of all of the product stacked in front of it. That’s not a great experience.
