The primary focus of most companies' marketing or communications department typically is how their product/service capabilities are better than everyone else's. However, with every company saying the same thing, customers and prospects have a hard time deciding whose products or services really are the best. Moreover, this approach fails to leverage a company's most valuable competitive differentiator: excellence in customer service that helps improve customer acquisition, retention, growth and win-back.
Research shows that, while product and price are important in making the initial sale, the most decisive factor in customer loyalty is the quality of service and support customers receive over time on a consistent basis. And remember, it's customers—not product and services—that are the source of all revenue and profits.
In this webcast, the chief marketing officer for Rapid7 explains how the company's commitment to customer service excellence has become a competitive differentiator and just as important as its innovative solutions for IT security's most critical challenges.

Key takeaways include:
Educating, enabling and engaging everyone in the organization is critical to connect with the customer and build engaging experiences. From the top of the organization to those closest to customers, people are the secret sauce in driving transformational change. Without a clear, thoughtful strategy on how to address the unique employee needs, change efforts can stall.
In this session, two senior telecommunication customer experience leaders will share how they leverage senior leadership, resources, tools, human-centered design thinking, and co-creation and engagement activities to accelerate progress in driving a customer-centric culture.

Customer-centric companies know how important it is to reward and recognize their employees. They understand that the use of both formal and informal recognition programs as part of their organization's Customer Experience Management (CEM) strategy will positively influence employee behaviors and cultivate a culture that puts the customer at the center of its business and with measurable results.
When employees and their work are valued, their satisfaction and productivity rises, and they are motivated to maintain or improve the customer experience. The cost of a recognition system is quite small and the benefits are large when implemented effectively.
This webcast will focus on how to engage and recognize employees who consistently provide superior customer experiences. Our expert panelists will share insights on recognition programs that inspire and engage employees to exceed customers' expectations one experience at a time.
Key take-aways will include:
Businesses recognize the need to accelerate time to value when it comes to configuring, deploying or maintaining today's increasingly complex products and/or processes. As a result, companies turn to specialized professional services (PS) firms for assistance. Firms that provide PS (outsourcers) typically work on-site with their clients to accomplish specific outcomes. Some companies maintain their own PS team (insourcers) to assist internal departments with their projects, sometimes also using outsourcers when advisable.
This webcast will start by examining the role that PS plays in helping companies exceed their customers' expectations, including outsourcer/insourcer pros and cons. The discussion then will focus on how sophisticated PSA software technology can increase operational visibility and improve process efficiency in project- and services-driven organizations, regardless of the outsourcer/insourcer mix.
Webcast attendees will learn how leveraging PS and PSA assist in:

Few industries are influenced more by the whims of customer preference than hospitality and restaurants. While there are clear consumer choices in both industries, you can book a room or get a meal essentially anywhere whenever you want.
So it's no mystery why leaders in these fields work hard to instill a sense of satisfaction and loyalty in their branding that keeps customers coming back — and raving to others about their experiences. In today's webcast, executives from a top hotel and restaurant chain in the hotly competitive Boston Seaport District talk about their strategy for customer experience management (CEM), and how they implement their strategies to attract, retain, grow and win-back their most valuable customers.
No matter what business you're in, you can't reach and maintain a leading market position solely by what you do or how you do it.

Register for this webcast and get an inside look at how these two businesses have built and implemented a successful CEM culture.

But if your company's website isn't optimized for mobile users, they will find it virtually impossible to view your website easily, much less conduct any business with you. Need proof? Open a browser session on your smart phone and type in your company's web address. The text and graphics will be so small you'll need a magnifying glass...and a lot of time because the content will take much longer to fully download.

Customer journey mapping is the process of plotting the complete sum of experiences that customers go through in the course of doing business with a company. The customer journey map is a process guide as well as a timeline that covers all the touchpoints a customer has with a company, including:
There is no standard for building a customer journey map. It can be a finely detailed document or a high-level relationship chart, or anything in between. But one step missing from most customer journey maps is the pay-off on the approach itself: does the journey map improve the overall customer experience?
This webcast will focus on the operational journey map touchpoints, but extends to its measurable results on CEM strategy itself:
Don't miss this important webcast to gain greater insight into customer journey mapping, a concept that some experts say is the cornerstone to operationalizing your organization's CEM strategy.
