Customer Experiences that Delight
Learning Objective
- Identify how other companies foster a culture of customer satisfaction and loyalty.
- Map out a customer journey to identify needs and pain points.
- Propose strategies that increase customer success and satisfaction.
Why this Activity?
A company succeeds as customers choose to invest in its services and products. Therefore, many business challenges stem from unsatisfied customers or an inability to gain new customers.
This activity will help you learn strategies that successful companies have implemented to help their customers succeed. These strategies can then inform your client project and your approach to the simulation.
Criteria for Completion
These are the steps that you should complete to earn this toolbox activity:
- Learn: Identify three companies that rate high for customer satisfaction and loyalty. As you analyze each company’s approach, answer these questions:
- What are customers saying about the company?
- What do the companies do to help delight their customers?
- What do they do to demonstrate their commitment to customer success?
- What systems, processes, and tools have they implemented to help the customer succeed?
- Synthesize: Create a one-page job aid (a list of best practices, a diagram, a memo, etc.) in which you highlight best practices that you identified from your research that you could utilize within your own work.
- Personal Application: Identify an experience, product, or service which did not lead to customer success or encourage greater loyalty. This could be when you experienced poor customer service when the quality was less than satisfactory, or other negative interactions.
- Map the Journey: Gather data (talk to people, observe the service, take surveys, etc.) related to how people experience the service or product. Using the data, create a map of the typical journey of a customer who experiences that product or service. These resources are a good starting point for gathering data and mapping a customer journey:
