LOVE as a KPI: How to Enhance Emotional Engagement in Customer Communication
Businesses and brands that stand out from the crowd do more than just meet their customers' needs. They create meaningful, emotionally engaging experiences that foster a sense of connection, trust, and even love. That's where Utibe Bassey 's concept of 'LOVE as a KPI' comes into play. It encapsulates the idea of turning customers into passionate advocates who 'love' engaging with your brand, enabled by a Customer Communication Experience Management (CCXM) platform.
Emotional Engagement in Customer Communication?
The power of emotional engagement in customer communication lies in creating connections that resonate on an emotional level. When customers feel valued, understood, and cared for, they are more likely to develop a strong emotional bond with your brand - a bond that can be described as 'love.'?
When customers 'love' your brand, they become more than just customers. They become loyal advocates who recommend your business to others, make repeat purchases, and are more forgiving when things go wrong.?
The Role of a CCXM Solution in Driving LOVE as a KPI
A comprehensive CCXM solution plays a crucial role in fostering this 'love' for your brand. It manages, optimizes, and monitors every aspect of the customer communication journey, ensuring that every interaction builds a positive emotional bond.

1 年Alan Burger thank you for sharing and connecting the dots in a practical way. We've been able to see first-hand the positive impact this type of approach to customer engagement has on a organization's critical KPIs. Having InfoSlips as a CCXM platform has demonstrated how the ideal and the practical application come together to create meaningful bottom-line results. Question to the broader community: Although the #loveasaKPI is relatively new as a discussion topic, it would be interesting to hear from other leaders about how making either or both the customer or the employee the nexus of their operating model and the results that they were able to measure when that took place.
