What does the employee experience have to do with the customer experience? Everything. In this episode, Annette Franz reveals how focusing on the employee experience is one of the most effective ways to improve the customer experience. The founder and CEO of CX Journey Inc. has spent the last 30 years helping organizations build customer-centric cultures based around people. She explains how to ensure employees have the resources they need to best serve customers, as well as why CX measurements like NPS are not the most reliable way to gauge success.

In today's episode, hosts Devin and David are back for the second installment of this series on sales, marketing, and how both can work better together. Last week focused on marketing, this week is about sales!While sales and marketing may feel like they are from different planets, both have to work together to ensure the best experience for the customer. The main goal for the company is how to orient itself around the customer, and to help the customer make the right buying choice for them. So the question is, how do you make a customer-centric sales process that works hand-in-hand with marketing? Devin and David answer this question in three main steps that will help both sales and marketing win. First, you must make sure you understand the context of the customer. By the time the customer comes to a salesperson, they have already researched and formed opinions about the company. Even so, it is the job of the salesperson to still ask questions, find out what problem the customer is facing and what they've done to try to solve it so far. After that, you can better serve the customer by helping them understand what your company offers and the outcomes your offerings can produce to help the customer make progress. The next stop on the customer journey is helping them identify the trade-offs they will face and discussing the service from the customer's perspective. The customer has too many options and each organization is competing for their time and attention. The point in sales is not to just get numbers, but to understand what the customer needs and give them your opinion on what steps they should take. The salesperson needs to build trust with the customer and help the customer make the right choice for them. You can win trust as a company by helping the customer make the right buying decision, and discussing the ramifications and benefits for the options they have. The last step is having sales and marketing work closely together to receive feedback and adjust accordingly. Just like the customer is researching your company, the sales and marketing team also need to receive intel on the customer to make sure they are the right fit for the company. In order to learn about the customer, you need to have conversations with them and ask questions. Then, you can share those assertions with the sales team, but also be willing to tighten and reframe those assertions about the customer. Both teams need to be able to receive feedback, reset, and try again. If it doesn't work out with a customer, both teams need to find out why and work hand-in-hand together to improve. In every company, leaders need to give sales and marketing the ability to have conversations and make adjustments. The key to winning on both sides, is to continuously improve and to keep the focus on helping the customer make progress on their job to be done.  Links:Learn more about theExperience Leaderpodcast.Learn more about hostsDevin Smith andDavid Antoline.Learn more about episode sponsorActive Digital.

She also dives into client onboarding and the generation that, surprisingly, wants to visit their local bank branch.-------------------Key Takeaways:It's critical that marketing teams are aligned with business and sales team to create a connected customer experienceThere is always an opportunity to learn from your customer based on behaviors and demographics to segment the customer journey.Pay attention to the qualitative data, it might producing surprising insights-------------------“With banking, you've got so much data. We have more data on our customers and clients than any other industry because we have the behavioral data from how you spend your money, how you're saving your money, where are you buying your homes, those types of things. And being able to rely stitch together a profile to know the client better and to be able to better serve them is going to be critical. So, the CDP with bringing together the zero, first, second, third party data and creating those profiles to then feed through into your CRM systems and into the marketing engine, really, I think puts you ahead of the game. Data is what everybody wants and really what makes the world go round today, especially from a marketer's standpoint. If you use the data right, you're really looking at how do you help the customer move forward and what are their life goals and how do you better lead them or encourage them to what's next." - Erin Pryor-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:44) - Erin's role at First Horizon Bank and her background*(06:04) - Comparisons between Erin's journalism and banking experiences*(08:37) - Top trends Erin is seeing in banking today *(12:24) - How data is impacting the customer journey experience at First Horizon*(18:06) - How Erin defines marketing vs. customer experience*(24:45) - How segmentation impacts the client journey *(30:22) - An example of another company doing it right with the customer journey (hint: it's Away)*(33:21) - Ending advice: surround yourself with a smart team of people-------------------Links:Connect with Erin on LinkedInConnect with Kailey on LinkedInVisit First Horizon's websiteLearn more about Caspian Studios

The Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a survey of 500 CMOs and found that 86% of participants believed that they would own customer experience. Six years later, has it happened? Not quite. It hasn't exactly been a full takeover of customer experience by marketing leaders. What has emerged is the concept of marketing-led customer experience. It's something Rhoan Morgan believes is and should happen in organizations. Morgan is the co-founder and CEO of DemandLab, an agency she launched in 2009. She's also a CMSWire contributor, and she caught up with CX Decoded to discuss marketing and CX leadership.

It's not every day you see a CEO dancing on TikTok. But being vulnerable and transparent is one of the reasons Ali Bonar has seen incredible growth and success with her company, Oat Haus. Consumers are moving more towards sharing real experiences and less about hiding behind the perfect filter. Customers crave connection and want to build relationships with transparent leaders—even if that means showing off their dance moves.  Ali started sharing her journey online long before she ever considered being an entrepreneur. As she recovered from an eating disorder, she shared the ups and downs of her physical and mental health and began to grow a following.  Ali's journey led her to create granola butter, and Oat Haus was born. But in her new role as a founder and CEO, it was only natural for Ali to continue sharing a behind-the-scenes view of the business. As Oat Haus grows, Ali shares authentic updates along the way, including everything from dancing in her living room to an inside look at creating new products.  Ali strongly believes that sharing helps customers feel like part of the journey. It's refreshing to see a business that isn't hiding behind a façade or trying to come across like it has everything together. Ali's goal is to take customers along for the ride and make them feel so involved that no matter when they see her content, they feel like they've been there from day one.  But sharing online doesn't come easily to everyone. Ali recommends starting where you're comfortable, even if that means photos without video to start. A good starting point is simply filming what you do throughout the day. Take people through your life as a business leader and show what life is like behind the curtains. As your comfort level grows, Ali recommends planning content for the entire week to hit different topics, including informational videos about your company, stories about what it's like to be a leader and fun content. A variety of content builds strong connections and resonates with a variety of customers.  Even planning and great content don't lead to overnight social media success. It takes time to grow a following, and a lot of how a post or video performs is based on the Instagram or TikTok algorithms. Even then, it's hard to see the ROI of social and a direct connection between storytelling and sales. But it's all about building the brand, showcasing the human side to the business and establishing your company and yourself as a leader who cares about people and wants to share.  The moments you're the most scared of sharing are often the most worthwhile things to share that resonate with your people. In the end, Ali says not to overthink it. Just be yourself and feel comfortable bringing your whole self to work and your community. You'll naturally develop strong customer relationships as you share your authentic self and brand. ________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future. For regular updates on customer experience, sign up for her weekly newsletter here.

Breakthrough thinking: Why do we believe things that are not true?   There was a car brand several decades ago in the UK called ŠKODA. It was a terrible car, much like Yugo was in the US. However, they have changed their image and today, my son wants to buy one. I told him the jokes we all used to have about ŠKODA and their low-quality construction (What do a ŠKODA and a baby have in common? They never go anywhere without a rattle.)    My son doesn't care. His perception is that they are a great car company. Mine hasn't changed.    Now, I know my son better than anyone, except maybe his wife and mother. I know he is sensible and good with his money. He's no Wally. If he decides to do something, he bloody well knows why (he gets that from me). Nevertheless, his opinion that the company is better now has done nothing to change my mind.    In this episode we are exploring why we believe things that are not true, even when faced with facts. Psychologically, there are a lot of reasons we do this. We also talk about how you can overcome a bad reputation and change customers perceptions of you with your customer strategy. Spoiler alert: It doesn't happen fast.    Key Ideas to Improve your Customer Experience   There are a few reasons why we won't change our minds even when the facts tell us we should. Some are psychological; some are social. However, they are all at work in this critical customer strategy concept.    Here are a few key moments in the discussion:   04:31  Colin shares how the different spread of information about the war in Ukraine in the West vs. Russia can ensure that the Russian people don't change their minds or stop supporting it.  09:19  Ryan answers Colin's questions about why people don't change their minds even when they are presented with information that they are wrong about something with several influences.  12:32  We discuss how the self-image can get in the way of changing one's mind, also; we push away negativity from our self-image.     16:12  We talk about the length of time it takes to change minds and what it takes during that time to ensure it happens. 19:11 Ryan tells a story about how social agendas can also get in the way of changing one's minds, and it will probably not surprise you to know that politics is a culprit.  26:54  Colin reviews what he thinks the key learning is for organizations and how we would combat these inclinations with customer strategy.         Please tell us how we are doing!

Episode 154 Every other Thursday, we give our listeners a glimpse into the inner workings of our business with our new “Inside Buildertrend” series on “The Building Code.” What are our teams working on? What features are coming up, and how will they benefit our users? What data and research are being collected behind the scenes? Tune in as we take a look inside Buildertrend.   How is Buildertrend impacting the future of payments in the construction industry? On today's episode of “Inside Buildertrend,” Trevor Pillen, payment operations specialist, is chatting with Zach and Charley about the significance of online payments.   Tune in to hear more about how our Financial Services team is working to change the way the construction industry gets paid. Learn more about why the future of getting paid is digital.   What are the key takeaways? How is Buildertrend changing the way the industry gets paid?: In the construction industry, checks have historically been the preferred method of payment. So, our goal as a tech company is to show business owners the value of using ACH and credit cards. There are many advantages to accepting these methods of payment – and one of them is timeliness. Time is money in construction, and getting paid via check takes a lot longer.   What are some key benefits of online payments?: One of the biggest benefits of online payments is time. The average turnaround time for a check is 20 to 25 days. Whereas with digital payments like ACH and credit card, it's closer to 10 to 12 days, if not less. Another benefit is the ability to streamline getting paid by accepting online payments quicker, which will help solve cash flow issues.   Why is accepting online payments better for business?: Today, many construction professionals are limiting the way homeowners pay for their projects. By widening the funnel, clients can pay the way they want, and contractors get a wider range of jobs to choose from. Offering flexible payment options is a good business practice, and there really are no downfalls.   Why is this cool for Buildertrend users? Buildertrend Payment Processing is integrated with the Customer Portal feature, which allows homeowners to make digital payments directly through the platform. Builders have the option to accept ACH and/or credit card payments within their Buildertrend account.   LINKS AND MORE   How to get started with Buildertrend Online Payments:   https://helpcenter.buildertrend.net/en/?q=payment+processing   Related content:   Check out the last “Inside Buildertrend” episode to hear about how our Customer Experience team is connecting the dots between the voice of the customer and Buildertrend's internal departments by answering questions like: What support do our customers need from us?

Investing in customer experience is just that—an investment. Being able to prove the return and value of that investment is crucial for all companies, especially startups and those looking to get new customers on board.  In the early days of CampusLogic, President and COO Chris Chumley used ROI as a tool to gain new customers and establish credibility. Prospective university clients agreed that the student experience was important, but many weren't willing to spend money on it. By demonstrating the ROI of CX and how it would eliminate pain points and create a better experience for customers, students, and employees, Chumley could connect with potential customers and grow his business.  Chumley says illustrating ROI starts by identifying the pain point. Where do customers face friction? What areas of the experience could be improved? Where is the frustration for customers and employees?  The pain point for CampusLogic's university customers was often paper-heavy financial aid systems.  Chumley says to work side by side with customers to put a number to that pain using the customer's metrics. The pain point could be impacting sales, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, or a host of other things. If the company can move that number, CX has value.  For potential CampusLogic customers, Chumley often tied ROI to reducing costs and increasing financial aid completion rates—two metrics that are crucial for universities.  Tying ROI to metrics that customers care about makes ROI more impactful. The personalized approach shows the value of CX for each unique customer and becomes more applicable and accessible.  Chumley says the key to a successful ROI model is to involve customers. Cooperatively building ROI helps customers catch the vision of how CX can solve their pain points. Instead of simply telling customers the ROI, Chumley uses each customer's numbers to build the solution with them and showcase the value. That means each ROI model is unique to the customer using metrics they already track and are familiar with.  Numbers don't lie. Building a strong ROI model for CX creates a compelling case for its value and can be crucial in getting new customers and creating customer-centric companies. ________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future. For regular updates on customer experience, sign up for her weekly newsletter here.

On today's episode, I'm chatting with co-founder of Vitruvi, Sara Panton. Vitruvi is a natural home-scents brand and is popularly known for their diffuser line of sleek products and clean, carefully-sourced essential oil blends. The company was founded by siblings Sara and Sean Panton as a way to create a safe home-scenting alternative to the traditional air-care products that carried harmful and toxic chemicals. The brand's journey from being a home business to now being sold on the shelves of top retailers such as Anthropologie and Nordstrom is incredibly inspiring so I'm excited to share Sara's words of wisdom for how Vitruvi has grown to what it is Today.
