Description
An overwhelming percentage of organizations indicate that customer experience is critical to their success. But according to their own customers, two-thirds of these organizations deliver experiences ranging from “okay” to “very poor.” That’s because organizations typically lack the strategy, discipline, and processes needed to make significant improvements to the way they satisfy customers.
In this webinar we’ll review how to measure customer experience, benchmark a company's or agency’s ability to deliver great customer experience, estimate the ROI of customer experience improvements, and get senior management to actively participate in the customer experience transformation.
What You'll Learn
- What customer experience is
- How customer experience goes beyond customer service
- Why customer experience is essential for government agencies
- About the Customer Experience Ecosystem
- Your role in enhancing customer experience
