How much are you investing in customer experience initiatives next year? Where does your current CxP program fall short?
I recently teamed up with Infor’s CMO, Chip Coyle to further explore this topic. We led a webinar called “5 Tips for A Tailored Customer Journey.” The session was hosted by the American Marketing Association.
You may find the feedback and the state of customer experience as surprising as I did when you watch the webinar replay.
490 marketers and business owners registered for this webinar, and 34% were from outside of North America. (Full disclosure: Infor is a client). During the webinar, we asked participants how they would rate their current customer experience initiatives and journey maps, on a 1-5 scale (5 = “excellent”). Only 13% of the attendees rated themselves “good to excellent” in that area.
We clearly have room for improvement in our profession.
If you consider yourself part of the 13% crowd, congratulations. If, however, you are looking for ways to dramatically improve customer loyalty and spend in 2017, be sure to download these free learning resources:

The webinar is worth watching. It’s replete with examples of companies who are thriving by incorporating customer journey mapping into their marketing mix. They include:
- Netflix
- Lord Abbett
- Turkcell (grew revenues 200% within 5 years)
- Wolters Kluwer Health
I will be sharing these insights into my upcoming keynotes at Google, CLIC ’16, and private client engagements.
