Here's how you can inspire your team to deliver exceptional customer service in a Customer Experience role.

How often have you seen leaders diving into chats, emails, and calls from customers? I've witnessed both extremes: leaders who share direct hotline emails with customers and those who never glance at the customer support desk. An exemplary leader actively engages in chats, calls, and emails. By doing so, leaders set the tone and culture, underscoring the importance of customer experience. Here are three key ways leaders can lead by example in customer experience: Be Accessible and Visible: Empower and Equip Teams Act on Feedback

Do everyday what you hope to see your team do too. I find it is best to keep reminding everyone about the primary objective of good client outcomes. When my actions then follow through with the message, and when successful outcomes follow, the team naturally wants to replicate and even enhance your approach.

As a Trainer you can be in a a great position to guide learners to explore new ideas and to feel comfortable in doing so especially around diversity and inclusion

Help your team understand the bigger picture. Explain how their work directly impacts customer satisfaction, loyalty, and ultimately, the company's success. Share positive customer testimonials highlighting the impact of their efforts on real people. This instills a sense of purpose and motivates them to go the extra mile.

Empathy is the number one thing that enables customer service teams to deliver a more bespoke experience. No human is the same. So if we let process, policy and red tape interfere with the way we serve customers in a ways that's personal to them, their experience will feel it. Having worked with organisations that are so siloed and have so much process defined because they think that's the way to bring consistency to what they do, I've seen how actually having empathy and serving customers differently funnily enough is actually a strong way to show up more consistently.

Cultivating empathy is key for exceptional customer service. When team members understand and share the feelings of customers, they can provide personalized, compassionate service. This leads to increased satisfaction and a positive work environment. Encourage active listening, open communication, and emotional intelligence to develop empathetic skills for strong customer relationships and business success.

La empatía es por lejos la piedra angular de la experiencia del cliente. Trabajar en aspectos emocionales, relacionales y educar a los colaboradores en temas relacionados al entendimiento y el acompa?amiento de los clientes, tanto en momentos difìciles como en los que no lo son, es trascendental para poder entender cómo nos perciben los clientes. Es importante también definir qué interacciones tiene cada rol de la compa?ía con los clientes, dado que muchas veces no tienen tan claro de què manera, cada labor que ejecutan repercuta en la experiencia de los clientes. Ser empático es un trabajo diario y debe practicarse y reforzarse hasta el hartazgo en todas las empresas. Nuestros clientes cambian, ?Estamos comprendiendo sus cambios?

One thing I have found helpful is that giving a listening ear to customer complaints is pivotal in creating a suvcesful and exellent customer service. it is this feedback from customers which helps succesfull businesses in making informed policies to improve customer service

Clear communication is key to great customer service. By conveying messages accurately and promptly, businesses can build trust and positive relationships. Avoiding jargon, actively listening, and being empathetic are critical for effective communication. Prioritizing clarity enhances the customer experience, turning interactions into opportunities for loyalty and growth.

Clear communication is the key to win customer faith. Team should be communicate clearly, loudly and respectfully. This will help customers to understand your policies easily. Practice makes you perfect towards your achievements and build confidence and abilities to grow new skills

In order to reward excellence you need to know how to measure it. The goals need to be quantitative and tied to business results. CX is still seen by many companies as support function where performance is measured via Customer Satisfaction score. While that is a somewhat helpful directional metric, you need to connect CX to retention, to user engagement and to user LTV. As soon as you are able to measure the incremental number of orders/number of users retained and profits driven this can be tied to performance of the team members making it a clear motivation and also at the same time drive most meaningful results to the business.

Rewarding excellence is important yes, however, tracking excellence is more important. Tracking the right thing is so key to get right. So many customer service teams are measured on transactional metrics that don't do anything for the customer. They focus on how quickly the business is solving problems or how many issues are being resolved for example. Quality is much more important. Rewarding good quality interactions with customers is where the focus should be. Encourage people to build meaningful connections with customers that turn a negative experience into a positive one, and repeat business in the future. Empower people to do this. Recognise when they do. Celebrate and share the success.

Sharing Personal Experiences: Relate stories from your career where specific strategies led to significant improvements in customer experience. Offering Innovative Ideas: Propose new concepts or methods for enhancing customer experience based on your insights and industry trends. Highlighting Trends: Discuss emerging trends and technologies that you believe will shape the future of customer experience. Example Contribution The Future of Customer Experience in the Digital Age: "With the rise of AI, customer service is no longer just reactive but increasingly proactive. At CareCloud, we've implemented AI chatbots that not only handle common queries but also analyze customer data to predict needs and offer personalized solutions.

A philosophy of continuous improvement tells the team it's ok to fail. Failure is only failure if you don't learn from it. Having previously worked with quite a few client's who have a driving desire to make everything perfect before something goes live, I've seen first hand what that does to culture, and more so, to the quality of the product or service. When there's a psychological safe space within the team and everyone has the mindset that we'll continuously evolve towards an elevated future, you get more motivated people with better ideas. This drives a much better experience for customers.

Investment in training is essential for team. It build confidence, skills and knowledge. Well trained team can handle any situation by using there training techniques,skills. This will help team to make better relationship with customers

Investing in regular and high-quality training for your team is crucial for professional development and organizational success. It improves productivity, boosts morale, and helps acquire new skills. Regular training keeps your team updated with industry trends and best practices, ensuring competitiveness. It also shows that growth and development are valued, increasing job satisfaction and employee retention. In summary, investing in training is a smart decision for a skilled, engaged, and effective workforce.

Según mi experiencia tener profesionales con las competencias técnicas y formacionales para gestionar Customer Experience en una empresa es de vital importancia. Muchas veces las organizaciones instalan a profesionales provenientes de otras áreas al desarrollo de planes de Estrategias VoC, y finalmente se ejecutan sin un cabal entendimiento del por qué suceden ciertas cosas. Es importante poder invertir en formación para ellos. Existen organizaciones dedicadas al mundo de la experiencia, universidades, entre otras instituciones que permiten ir generando una fuente de conocimiento colectivo que dirija a la organización hacia una cultura centrada en el cliente.

Meet Negative Nancy, Problematic Pete and Toxic Tony! I strongly believe in using "Antithesis Employee" or "Employee from Hell" personas in customer experience training. It can be an effective tool to highlight the importance of positive behaviors by contrasting them with negative ones. This persona serves as a cautionary example, providing a clear and exaggerated depiction of what not to do, thereby reinforcing the desired behaviors and attitudes. Feel free to get creative when naming them, like Negative Nancy, Problematic Pete, or Toxic Tony. Alternatively, let your team come up with a name. In the latest assignment, this persona was named 'Albert Gilbert'.

En las empresas suelen fluir las ideas de cómo trabajar en la experiencia de los clientes. Es innato que las personas tengan una respuesta automática de cara a un problema. Es un desafío bastante importante para las organizaciones tener informaciòn valiosa, que se presente en los momentos oportunos, que le lleguen a quienes debe llegarle y que estén en línea. Me he visto enfrentado a un sinfin de empresas que siguen trabajando con Excel y debes hacer un esfuerzo bastante importante para llegar a la persona que tiene una determinada información albergada en su computador de forma local.
