To provide great CX reliably and efficiently, companies must master the six competencies of customer experience management (CXM): research, prioritization, design, enablement, measurement, and culture. Unfortunately, common misconceptions can cause even the most experienced CX professionals to stumble along the path to CXM maturity. In our new report, Avoid These 14 CX Misconceptions, my colleagues and I detail the most common misunderstandings and explain how CX professionals can get back on track.

In this month’s conversation with Johannesburg-based author Mark Eardley, we discuss why differentiation seriously matters and how customer centricity (what Forrester calls customer obsession) plays a key role in getting your firm to stand out from the crowd. It’s about differentiating based on your customer experience — making CX one of the key things that distinguishes you as an organization.

We’ve seen it many times. You understand the need to listen to customers. You want to apply their feedback to your organization. You launch your CX programme. Results start coming in.

Embed Core Values into the Customer Experience
Core Values are the fundamental beliefs of a person or organization.
Core Values serve as the guiding light for how everyone in your company interacts, communicates and works with each other, external customers, and the community. The core values are the solid foundational building blocks on which your culture is built. They are your company’s principles, beliefs, or philosophy of values.

The world comes at us at 150+ miles an hour, every day. Each new moment thrusts upon us decision points, which shape our next steps. As we barrel through this speedway of change called life, there are key pillars of support that drive our achievement. Sometimes the best way to ‘speed up’ and reach our goals is to ‘slow down’ and re-focus on how we get there together, as a CX immersed team.

A successful customer experience strategy is a result of the company’s culture. In other words, and I’ve said it many times before, what’s happening on the inside of the company is going to felt on the outside of the company by the customer.
