Lots of businesses are so focused on their internal structures and processes, they tend to forget what their customers really want. They just don’t listen and operate inside-out, instead of outside-in.
In many cases the same is true for their employees.
Taking a deep view at your customers’ and employees’ experiences and trying to understand their journeys with the business can however do wonders in understanding the key moments of truth, the existing pain points and those needs of customers and employees currently not met.
In a next step, gaps can then be identified and strategies & tactics be developed, that can help close those gaps.
Moreover, in most industries, looking at customer’s and employee’s experiences is just two sides of the same coin, where an improvement in the employee journey often leads to more satisfied customers, buying more of your products and services more often – increasing loyalty, improving profits and eventually turning your brand into a ‘love brand’.
As a result you will be able to establish an ’emotional monopoly’ with your customers that drives sustainable and profitable growth – creating a dividend on customer experience and employee experience investments with an outstanding ROI.
The same is true the other way around, where happier customers have a positive impact on staff motivation, engagement and performance.
