Bridging the CX Gap within Your Organization
Written By:
Your wheels begin to turn… with the new position comes more responsibility and with more responsibility comes more pay. You’ve been driving around a car that’s 17 years old and probably on its last legs. That’s it! With that extra money in your pocket, you see it fit to buy a new vehicle.
[ Company A ]
The first call comes from Company A. The representative for this company tells you that they’re running a promotion and you should act fast on buying. They quickly move on to explain where you can find the closest dealer. Then, they hang up.
This call was relatively fast. While the representative gave you some of the necessary information, the call lacked a personal touch. These types of calls, in particular, feel as though it could’ve been completed by an automated caller.
The Importance of Human Connection with Customers
[ Company B ]
- Which car do you currently have?
- What do you like and don’t like about the model?
- And how soon you’re looking to buy the new car?
The company employee also inquires about where you plan on taking the car in the years to come. After a brief conversation about your favorite road trip destinations, you exchange contact information with the employee. Once the right information is gathered, the rep then tells you where you can find your local dealer.
Building & Maintaining a Strong Relationship
Listening:
Customers often throw curveballs. In other words, their expectations vary, along with their intentions. Therefore, the CX must be as flexible as possible to meet the needs of each customer.
Showing Emotion:
Showing emotions while talking to a customer can be accomplished in relatively simple actions. So, whether it’s the caller’s positive energy or displaying an interest in the customer’s needs, showing emotions is imperative. It plays a large part in dictating the end result of the conversation. This is why staying engaged in lively, thoughtful conversations will certainly help create a strong CX.
