Are you following the latest CX trend to look for a Chief Experience Officer? Well, look no further; they are right under your nose! 🔍
Many businesses seek to differentiate themselves through CX and believe that investing in Customer and Client Experience (CX) with a Chief Experience Officer is the best way to go.
BUT - a successful CX strategy is not just driven by one person but is the responsibility of EVERY member of your team.
It is a big myth that the responsibility of superior CX belongs to a remit few, but in reality, it is a cross-functional team collaboration spanning your entire organisation.
From the CEO and COO to the Financial Director. From the front-facing staff to your Design Team. Even down to your custodial staff and interns.
EVERYONE in your organisation is responsible for creating and ensuring an excellent Customer and Client experience across the board.
So, how do you create a cross-functional team of CX superstars throughout your organisation? It starts with these three simple steps.
✅ Align all team members behind your company's CX values!
Getting everyone on the same page in understanding how you want your customers to feel in every interaction - from invoices to support - will ensure meaningful interactions that make your customers feel valued.
✅ Break down the silos!
Share, share, share, and share. Regularly keep your entire team updated on plans, strategies, and the importance of your business's customer experience. Get feedback from all team members, encourage suggestions, promote awareness, encourage job shadowing to understand the roles better, and equip your team to implement your customer journey strategy at every touchpoint.
✅Don't dream it, be it!
A memorable client and customer experience should be interwoven in your business's DNA and become what you are, not what you strive for. Enhancing CX is about implementing small changes at the core of your business's ethos and developing a culture of CX excellence that permeates your entire organisation.
By beginning to implement these changes, you will be well on the way to aligning all functional groups and systems to support each other in creating a living, breathing, consistent, and meaningful customer experience across the board!
