The Basic Premise
FEELINGS ON A SCALE OF…NOT
In love Love Like a lot Eh Don’t like Hate
Feelings on a Scale of…Not
• Customer intersects but…– That’s only part of the life of a
customer – and…

Keep in mind, that because people have “personal value chains,” there are things
your business cannot control….
But there are things you can…
DESIGNING & MANAGING THE EXPERIENCE
• The objective:– The customers’ experiences should be good enough to ideally create “a company like me.” – This should result in something that provides mutually beneficial value to both customer and
company
• The ideal results come in four parts:– The ordinary is kept ordinary– Customers’ expectations are met and occasionally exceeded.– A flexible approach, processes/best practices, and ongoing cultural/organizational support are
institutionalized.– The customer feels good about their involvement with you – no matter what form it takes.
Designing and Managing
• Behavioral– “My high-level definition is that influence is the ability to change someone’s
thought or actions. You either change someone’s sentiment or opinion or feelings about something, or you change their actions. A purchase, the referral of a friend, staying loyal – all of these are behavior changes.” – Michael Wu, Chief Scientist, Lithium Technologies
Designing and Managing
• A combination of some or all:
– Products
– Services
– Tools
– Consumable Experiences
Designing and Managing
When the ordinary fails, the impact is greater on the experience then when the extraordinary and luxurious fails, because there is no expectation of possible failure of the ordinary.
Designing and Managing
MAPPING THE EXPERIENCE
How to start: First steps
– Make sure that the perception of and the vision for the customer experience are consistent across the company
– Be certain that you have a CRM strategy for the entire value chain before you execute on the plan
– Remember you will be involving your customers directly
Mapping the Experience
The customer map
– The interaction
• Granular process
• Multi-channel
– Expectations against the interaction
• As important as the interaction itself
– Weight of each interaction will vary from customer to customer
• Will vary with individual customer potentially day-to-day
Mapping the Experience
“We need to do this because the industry is highly competitive… All of the competitors are willing to cut prices and they are improving services daily. We need them to be exceptional.” – Sandra De Zoysa, CCO, Dialog Axiata
Mapping the Experience
Mapping the Customer Experience
– Survey the customer’s response to each point of interaction – in depth interviews
– Make sure that senior management conducts at least some of the interviews
• Notorious for not ever speaking with customers in their present positions
– Compensation to the customers who participate
– Choose customers from representative segments
Mapping the Experience
Never presume for the customer
– You don’t know what emotional weight they give the interaction
– You don’t know what caused that reaction to the interaction
– You don’t know why the customer remembers what they remember
While doing the interview, ask them general questions designed to trigger their memories, but do not guide them
– Its what they remember, not what you want them to remember
Mapping the Experience
Visual (or verbal) cues provide information but, you still have to interpret & judge.
Mapping the Experience
What does this picture tell you?
I’m asleep
I’m frustrated
I’m dead

Greeting & Registration– Were you greeted when you first came
in? If yes, can you describe how you were greeted?

– Did any employees ask you if you needed help?
– How do you feel about not being greeted?
– Did you register? If yes, can you describe what happened?
– Did the greeter give you a registration form to fill out or did she fill out the form for you?
– What did you think of the length of the time it took to register?
– Were you given catalogs to look through?
– Was there a consultant called over immediately or were you given a realistic time of how long you would have to wait?
– How long did you have to wait for a consultant to come over and help you?
Mapping the Experience
Consultation & Product Selection– What did you think of the consultant
you worked with? How would you describe the personality/mood of your consultant?
– Did your consultant listen well and show you gowns that were similar to what you requested?
– Was your consultant knowledgeable about the product/store policies?
– Did your consultant spend adequate time helping you?
- Can you describe your experience shopping for the gown? Did you pick out the dresses you wanted to try on or did your consultant pick for you?
- Did your consultant show you different styles, colors of wedding gowns? Did your consultant help you pick out coordinating accessories to go with your gown?
- How did you feel while trying on your gown?
- Did you visit the store more than once before deciding to buy your gown? If yes, how many times?
Mapping the Experience
Other high level examples of questions for mapping
– Can you describe your experience shopping for your bridesmaid dresses?
– How did your checkout go?

CASE STUDIES: MANAGING THE EXPERIENCE
• Colombian Telco
• Targeting residential service for CTOs
Justin Timberlake
“He seems to not take himself too seriously and that moxie can take you a long way. It’s one thing to passively watch someone on YouTube. Its another to spend $10 on an album. Personality points help get that wallet opened.”
Keith Caulfield, Billboard assoc. director of charts/retail
• He carefully manages the “Timberlake Experience”– While releasing The 20/20 Experience
• He did few interviews• Alignment with trusted brands
– Went only on key shows – e.g. Jimmy Fallon, SNL, SXSW, Grammies
– Target-only edition• Controls the consumable
experiences

CHOICE, CIRCUMSTANCE, CONTEXT
• The customer experience is often decided in the first few minutes of the interaction– That means the choices made
by the company in the initial stages are critical to the results by time interaction ends.
Choice, Circumstance, Context
• Expectations driven by the general hotel experience– Easy check-in– Recognition of elite status– Courtesy regardless of status– Willingness to explain decisions– Consideration of marital status– Clean rooms– Respect for individual customer’s
“space”– Efficient room service– Easy checkout
51
Choice, Circumstance, Context
• The hotel experience – choice– No points at check-in unlike any other hotel – Lack of courtesy – refusal to explain why this
happened.– Lack of consideration of marital status – double
beds w/o any foreknowledge– Lack of respect for individual customer’s day –
two attempts to sell timeshare w/in hour– Inefficient room service– Not easy checkout – no one at a NY hotel in the
early morning.
• The hotel experience –circumstance– Non-working room keys– Broken lamp– Jammed shower handle– Large “unlabeled” lobby –signs difficult to find
• The hotel experience –context– Multi-tiered internet pricing– No offer of any concern for late customer service– Dark room – but there was a broken lamp and
poor experience

The 360° view of the customer is no longer the holy grail. It’s a pre-requisite.
