Hey CX Nation,

In this week's CXWeekly Update we walk through some ideas, goals & CTAs to begin overhauling your Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs).

QBRs are one of the easiest ways to make sure that your customer success team is getting regular time with their main POCs or account owners to walk through exactly how your product or service is providing value & hitting the mark set by your sales team at the beginning of the customer journey.

There are many ways you can design QBRs or key account reviews for your customers but the most important thing to remember is this is your chance to "wow" your customers every 90 days & prove to them why you're a strategic partner to their business.

You can walk through industry updates, product or service usage, account success goals, expectation setting, product updates or new features + changes or updates about your business or team or more importantly your customer's team. 

Use this CXWeekly update as a starting point for building out or overhauling your QBR efforts with your team today.

Don't worry we have a ton of amazing guest interviews coming down the pipeline over the next couple of weeks.

Part of our goal for the new year at CXC is to create more customer focused business leader content, including more short episodes like these ones that are digestible, actionable & most importantly entertaining & valuable for all of you.

If you enjoy The CXChronicles Podcast, stop by your favorite podcast player and leave us a review today.

You know what would be even better?

Hey CX Nation,

In this week's CXWeekly Update we walk through some ideas, goals & CTAs to begin building your company's Voice of Customer Dashboards & Reporting.

VOC or voice of customer has become an extremely popular topic with customer focused business leaders across the globe. There's so much software out there today that companies use and it becomes really difficult to cut through the noise and aggregate the good, bad and ugly from your customer feedback.

VOC reporting helps to centralize and socialize the key trends, topics, likes, dislikes, opportunities for your company to take action on & continue to evolve or iterate on your product or service offerings.

Use this CXWeekly update as a starting point for building out your VOC reporting efforts with your team today.

Don't worry we have a ton of amazing guest interviews coming down the pipeline over the next couple of weeks.
