Top Takeaways:

  • Customers want to be empathized with and understood by the brands they interact and do business with.
  • Customer centricity means taking intentional steps to listen to what your customer needs and having everyone, at all levels in the organization, committed to delivering on them.
  • Typically, the customers who answer surveys are either very angry or very happy with your organization. However, this leaves out customers who are in the middle or think their experience is only satisfactory. When companies don’t learn from this segment of their customers, they often lose them once a competitor that does it better comes along.
  • The value of listening to customers is that it teaches organizations the points of friction in their processes and identifies their competitive differentiators. It shows them the problem spots they need to pay attention and what drives negative sentiment. And it helps brands determine their value propositions using the words of their customers.
  • When you hear good feedback and read positive testimonials, put that data into your process so that all your customers can have the same amazing experience.
  • Frontline workers are a great resource when it comes to what customers are saying about your company and their experience. Train them to listen for customer insights, take notes, and share with everyone in the organization.
  • Listen to your employees, too, not just your customers. Leaders must be listening for employee engagement and burnout. Turn positive and negative conversational data into actionable strategies that support your employees.
  • Plus, Amy shares what The Eddy Effect™ is and what it means to customer experience. Tune in!
