WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.212 Christine, welcome. Thank you. 2 00:00:02.212 --> 00:00:03.480 When it comes to great customer experience, 3 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:06.360 how do you gain a competitive advantage? 4 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.880 So there's a number of different ways that you can do it. 5 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.620 We like to distill it down 6 00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:12.600 to several principles that can actually serve 7 00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:15.510 as a diagnostic to determine where you are on the scale 8 00:00:15.510 --> 00:00:19.410 of delivering great CX, or customer experience. 9 00:00:19.410 --> 00:00:20.550 I think one of those is really 10 00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:23.340 just meeting immediate customer needs 11 00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:24.660 or human needs, right? 12 00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:27.240 Everybody has those things they have to do. 13 00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:28.560 Check in at the doctor's office 14 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:32.880 open a bank account, order a taxi, or an Uber, 15 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.310 and you want those to happen in a very seamless way. 16 00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:37.740 So meeting immediate needs is number one. 17 00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:41.130 That's kind of baseline table stakes, you know? 18 00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:43.650 Then it's around really differentiating yourself 19 00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:45.810 amongst all the other brands out there competing 20 00:00:45.810 --> 00:00:48.600 for customers and people's attention. 21 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.540 So I think it's really about what makes you distinctive 22 00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:53.430 in thinking about how to drive that 23 00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:56.673 across all of the multi-channels that you have. 24 00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.940 I think it's about emotionally connecting. 25 00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:01.770 Again, we talked about human-centered design, 26 00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:03.470 we've talked about design thinking 27 00:01:04.312 --> 00:01:06.900 and that really enables you to dig deep 28 00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:09.210 into what truly matters to your end user, 29 00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:11.280 your customer, whomever it is you're trying 30 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.390 to connect with and make sure 31 00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:15.033 that you get that from an emotional standpoint. 32 00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:20.730 It is also around sustainability and social impact. 33 00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.410 That's not always a driving force, 34 00:01:22.410 --> 00:01:24.900 but in today's day and age 35 00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:28.128 and climate and what really matters to customers, 36 00:01:28.128 --> 00:01:29.820 that's a really great addition as well. 37 00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:32.130 And if you can do a lot of these things, 38 00:01:32.130 --> 00:01:34.530 then driving CX can help you with growth. 39 00:01:34.530 --> 00:01:37.170 It helps you build trust with your customers. 40 00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:40.980 It helps you build sustainable and differentiated value. 41 00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:43.620 So it truly can help move the needle 42 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.120 in a multitude of ways. 43 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.830 Honing in on one of those that you said 44 00:01:46.830 --> 00:01:49.140 the sustainability and social impact, 45 00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:50.850 how do you integrate 46 00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:54.870 that into a customer experience? 47 00:01:54.870 --> 00:01:57.683 So one of the best ways to do that 48 00:01:57.683 --> 00:02:00.390 is to make sustainable choices incredibly seamless 49 00:02:00.390 --> 00:02:01.713 and intuitive and easy. 50 00:02:03.203 --> 00:02:05.253 So if you can just swap out a sustainable 51 00:02:06.651 --> 00:02:09.060 or climate friendly decision for one that is not, 52 00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:12.420 and make that part of the customer journey 53 00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:14.250 in a way where they just don't even realize 54 00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:16.440 it's happening, it's that easy of a choice, 55 00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:19.140 but also recognizing them for making that choice 56 00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:21.150 and rewarding them for making that choice. 57 00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:24.450 So it's kind of giving them the opportunity 58 00:02:24.450 --> 00:02:26.820 in a seamless way, and also encouraging their behavior 59 00:02:26.820 --> 00:02:28.148 and rewarding them for making 60 00:02:28.148 --> 00:02:30.570 making such a meaningful impact. 61 00:02:30.570 --> 00:02:33.900 And finally, what should companies be keeping top 62 00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.310 of mind when it comes 63 00:02:35.310 --> 00:02:37.860 to delivering great customer experience? 64 00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:40.020 I think a really critical element 65 00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:42.390 is that it's not a one size fits all. 66 00:02:42.390 --> 00:02:44.403 Every customer, every person, 67 00:02:45.469 --> 00:02:47.880 every end user using your product, your service, your space, 68 00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:51.153 your experience is very different. 69 00:02:52.065 --> 00:02:53.340 So we now are so empowered 70 00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:56.640 with data and this incredible amount 71 00:02:56.640 --> 00:02:58.830 of information that we have at our fingertips. 72 00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:00.070 So marrying that kind 73 00:03:01.306 --> 00:03:02.850 of data with qualitative insights and really 74 00:03:02.850 --> 00:03:05.880 determining how to meet different people where they are 75 00:03:05.880 --> 00:03:07.080 on their individual journey 76 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.720 and truly making it personal so they feel 77 00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:12.540 that they matter and it's a meaningful connection 78 00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:14.520 with the brand at every touch point. 79 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.140 I think that's something that's really critical 80 00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:18.720 to keep top of mind for these companies. 81 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:19.950 Christine, thank you so much. 82 00:03:19.950 --> 00:03:20.783 Thank you.
