Delighting Customers Through Effective Communication

Shep Hyken interviews Justine Tavares, Director of Customer Success at TextExpander, a productivity tool that automates repetitive tasks and improves communication efficiency. She talks about improving customer relationships through customer-centric, up-to-date, and consistent messaging.

Top Takeaways: 

• Up-to-date and consistent messaging ensures customer delight. Whenever an update is implemented within your organization, ensure it is communicated from the frontline to the back office so that everyone can access the same information. 

• You don't always make decisions that are going to make the customers happy, but always keep them in mind when making them. 

• Proactively communicate changes that could impact customer experience. Provide transparent and open communication with your customers. When there's a change that a customer may not be excited about or happy about, it is received better. 

• Over-communication is better than no communication. Having information gives customers a sense of control and confidence even when they are facing problems or delays. 

• When you want to create loyalty and an amazing experience, the word you want to hear the customer use is "always" in front of something good. For example, "They always take care of me even when there's a problem." 

• Plus, Justine shares how TextExpander uses "white glove onboarding" to meet customers where they are.

Quotes:

"The customer should be at the core of everything that we do. We think about the customer first in every decision we make and every product we release."
