Developing a Customer Experience strategy

In Customer Experience Management (CXM), to help define your vision and goals, a good starting point is to audit where your business is now, to build a framework for understanding and managing the Customer Experience.

Take an initial CX Maturity Assessment to determine your benchmark "score" across 10 different criteria including Proposition, Journey, Measurement and Capability to deliver your vision. You can then focus on what to do more of and what to prioritize in your CX strategy plan. A CX assessment can be done online or as part of a more in-depth CX Workshop - taken by multiple stakeholders, like a Customer Experience audit.

Think about the focus areas of your Customer Experience management strategy - what are the pain points of your customers, your business strategy, company culture and competitive position? Take a look at some of the questions your CX plan can answer.

What metrics will you put in place to measure success and ROI of your CX strategy? How will they align with overall business goals and KPIs? Having the right Customer Experience technologies and tools in place to help you connect customer and business data in real time will help you gain insights and adapt your plan.

Cemantica's experienced team of CCXP qualified CX Consultants will help you define your Customer Experience strategy with interactive Workshops with concrete deliverables for the next steps.

Customer journey mapping and personas

A key part of optimizing Customer Experience is building a customer journey framework - understanding and proactively managing journeys across all customer touchpoints, channels and customer segments.

Mapping your current state journeys is a great way to focus on the detail of each customer interaction as it is now, in order to understand pain points, opportunities and solutions to fix them - to ensure a seamless and consistent journey for the customer.

Customer Experience teams will work with Service Design and Product Management teams to map customer journeys and optimize internal processes, products and services to help visualize your ability to deliver what customers need. Develop Personas that reflect those customer profiles and their wants and needs so you can attach one or more to each journey map for a common understanding of your audience and what they do.

The importance of data and analysis in measuring Customer Experience

Your journey maps should reflect true customer sentiment - which is why integrating real qualitative and quantitative data, such as Voice of Customer (VoC), helps you visualize, prioritize and act on customer pain points. In Cemantica, CX teams can easily connect data from feedback survey and VoC platforms (e.g. Sandsiv, Medallia, Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey) and support tickets in CRM (e.g. Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics), with over 70 out-of-the-box connectors.

Not only can you view customer sentiment and business KPIs directly in your journey maps in dedicated swimlanes for continuous improvement, but you also have analytics dashboards to help track and share key CX metrics across your CX program.

By bringing CX data and insights together you can move to more personalized interactions with your audience and support efficient communications with Customer Experience automation.
