    In the world of business strategy, the phrase "eating your own lunch" may sound a bit peculiar, but it holds a vital lesson. It suggests that organisations should thoroughly understand their own products and services from the client's perspective, much like tasting your own meal to gauge its flavour. At nlightencx., we are keenly devoted to this principle. Our mission is to stay relevant and continuously seek improvements in the ever-evolving landscape of business. In 2022, we published our Business Book – EAT YOUR OWN LUNCH, which encapsulated our strategies and insights at the time. However, as we all know, much can change in just two years. Businesses evolve, challenges morph, and new opportunities emerge. That's why we felt the necessity to embark on version 2.0—a refreshed and updated edition of our book. It was with immense pride that we recently celebrated the launch of this new edition at Exclusive Books, located at the wonderful V&A Waterfront. The event was a resounding success, highlighted by opening remarks from the esteemed Dr Shirley Zinn. Her insightful review not only added gravity to the occasion but also set the stage for conversation and reflection on our journey thus far. To us, “eating our own lunch” isn't just a strategy; it's a commitment. It’s about engaging with our own products and services the way our clients do, ensuring that we deliver quality and relevance at every turn. As we delve into version 2.0 of our Business Book, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, let's explore how businesses can adapt, innovate, and thrive in a constantly changing world. After all, success lies not only in crafting a delectable lunch but in ensuring it stays appetising day after day. https://lnkd.in/dXp78q8D #EatYourOwnLunch  #BusinessStrategy  #ProductImprovement  #Innovation  #StayRelevant

    VALUE vs COST In the world of business, partnerships can sometimes feel like a game of cards – if you’re not sure of your hand, you might just be holding a cost instead of a trump card. Let’s change that narrative! When evaluating outsourced services, flip the script with a simple question: Will retaining.... x... bring value to our clients and turn the investment into growth for my business? If you’re pondering, then someone’s bluffing on value! Our long-standing client, Adcorp Group, aced this notion with their powerful testament about us, and we quote: “The constant question must be: Does nlightencx help with the retention and acquisition of new and existing clients? The answer is YES!” Choose partnerships that reaffirm this ‘YES’ mantra, turning every decision into a golden opportunity for you, your business and your customers or clients to win. Remember, in today's competitive game, value isn't just king; it’s the whole royal flush! #GameChanger #ValueWithPurpose #WinningPartnerships

    The Billion-Dollar Question: Why Your Business Depends On It Robin Sharma is a thought leader whose wisdom has inspired countless individuals and businesses worldwide. His remarkable ability to distil profound insights into actionable guidance is why I turn to his work for inspiration. In his empowering book, The Wealth Money Can't Buy, there's a chapter that particularly resonates with me and encapsulates our absolute purpose at nlightencx! In Chapter 112 "Ask the Billion Dollar Business Question," Sharma articulates a simple yet transformative idea: “It’s very rare for a business person to have the guts to ask for feedback and constructive input from the very individuals consuming their products and services, even though this information is the pure gold that will make them and their shop better, more successful and more enduring.” In a business world often reluctant to seek the unvarnished truth, those willing to embrace candid feedback distinguish themselves. As a customer experience specialist, I've observed the transformative power of asking—and genuinely listening. Companies focused on understanding their customers unlock insights that money simply can't buy, turning potential weaknesses into strengths. Open dialogue not only elevates products and services but also reinforces the very pillars of long-lasting brands. So, when was the last time you asked your customers what they truly think? Committing to this conversation could reshape your business in unimaginable ways. Remember, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus wisely said, “The only constant in life is change.” Let your customers drive that change. #CustomerFeedback #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #CXStrategy #RobinSharma

    Planting the Seeds for Great Customer Experience Two decades in the CX consulting field, we have seen many companies try to quickly transform themselves into being "CX-centric" (a phrase that, honestly, we loathe). Leaders often think of it as a quick solution to make their brand more attractive. They envision CX as a magic solution that will automatically ensure customer happiness and loyalty. The Truth About CX: It Takes Time What some leaders miss is that delivering excellent customer experience requires patience and consistent effort. It's the daily actions and strategies that align with everyone in the company—right from entry-level staff to top executives—toward making customers happy. To truly plant the right CX seeds, you'll need: Realising that building a robust CX framework is not an overnight task. It's the result of cumulative, consistent efforts. Making sure every department keeps customer needs as a key focus, helping spread a CX-oriented mindset throughout the organisation. Cultivating a work culture that values customer empathy. As Peter Drucker famously said, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Customer Experience is a Commitment. Not a Checklist To mid and senior-level leaders out there: recognising that customer satisfaction is crucial is vital for business survival. It’s like maintaining a personal relationship—it’s ongoing, rather than a one-off job. Statistics from Deloitte show that customer-focused companies are 60% more profitable than those that are not. Ignoring CX could be risky; instead, focus on building long-term relationships and genuine value. Sow Now; Benefit Later Today’s customers/clients are informed and have high expectations. Meeting those expectations isn’t just enough anymore; the goal is to truly delight them. This kind of shift doesn’t happen by chance, but by deliberately focusing on the seeds you plant today. As you work on your company’s CX approach, think about the culture you're building. What actions can you take now, so years down the line your company will be known for its outstanding customer satisfaction? The journey to stellar CX isn’t about the immediate harvest—it’s about the seeds you plant along the way. Start sowing those seeds today, and with time, watch your brand become a leader in customer satisfaction.    #CustomerExperience #CX #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #CustomerSatisfaction #CompanyCulture #CXStrategy

    If you’re not paying attention to "the details" that will set your business apart from your competitors, you can bet your bottom dollar (or ZAR, Euro, etc) that your customers are.

    To truly create a great customer experience, "the devil" is always in the details! Why? Because the success of your customer experience hinges on the subtleties. It's those subtle nuances that transform an encounter from mundane to memorable – the way your team greets clients with genuine warmth, the intuitive layout of your digital platform, the seamless transition from one service touchpoint to another. These aren't just details. They're powerful signals of care and attention, and your customers definitely notice them. As they say, in a world where customer experience reigns supreme, it's the little things that become the big things. Neglect them, and you risk delivering an experience that's just as forgettable as an average meal. Want to truly wow your customers? Dive into your service details with the precision of a watchmaker. Understand every interaction like it's a pivotal moment in your brand story. The businesses mastering this are the ones winning hearts—and generating buzz.

    Is it just me, or are we all caught in this wave? Recently, there's been a disturbing trend that’s impacting many of us in the workplace—near-constant unsolicited calls pitching products or services we never showed interest in. Several of my colleagues are receiving multiple calls daily, turning our phones into sources of frustration rather than convenience. Even with #Truecaller on our side, these calls are now cleverly coming from landline numbers, making it a gamble to decide whether to pick up. It’s time to shed some light on this issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
