  • Humanizing the Customer Experience: Recipes for Customer Success (Part 2) w/ Shep Hyken
    How many times have you tried to interact with a chatbot on a website, only to find yourself talking in circles? You ask a question, it gives you an answer you don’t want, so you ask it a different question, and it gives you the same answer you didn't want.  
    Either the chatbot is terrible, or you’re asking the question the wrong way.  
    So do we toss AI in the garbage? Not by a long shot. 
    On this 2nd part of our 2 part episode with customer service expert Shep Hyken, we conclude our conversation with Shep, and talk all about:   
    Why we should be putting AI in the hands of the agent 
    Why a simple change at the airline counter would revolutionize the entire industry, but nobody will do it.  
    Why the customer isn’t always right 
    How to deal with trolls as a customer service rep

  • Humanizing the Customer Experience: Recipes for Customer Success (Part 1) w/ Shep Hyken
    What is customer experience? Is it a specific team within your company? Is it the contact center employees fielding calls from angry and disappointed customers? The truth is, a lot of us don't’ really realize what customer experience is until we’ve had an outstanding experience. One that absolutely blew our socks off.  
    It’s the reason that people make YouTube videos of themselves unboxing iPhones and iPads. Because Apple understands that every part of the product is tied to the customer experience.  
     
    In part 1 of this 2 part episode, we sit down with author, keynote speaker and customer service expert Shep Hyken to talk all about:   
    Best practices around customer service and customer experience 
    Why he thinks that customer experience isn’t a department, but a philosophy 
    The “Apple Experience,” and how even something as simple as packaging can enhance customer experience 
    Why happier employees mean a more successful company
