A Monthly Update from the Customer Engagement Leadership Council
|
Dear Council Member,
Are you raising the bar in best-in-class customer service? The Council’s Customer Service Excellence Recognition Program is a wonderful way for your organization to be recognized by industry experts for excellent work. We are excited to report that nominations for this inaugural program have been submitted and the judging is about to begin!
By recognizing companies who are breaking new ground in customer service excellence, we aim to create a forum for celebrating and sharing best practices in the world of customer experience. Winners in five categories including Omni-Channel Customer Experience, Mobile Customer Care, Web Customer Experience, Social Media Customer Engagement and Customer Engagement Analytics will be honored at the annual Frost & Sullivan Customer Contact Executive MindXchange in October 2016.

Blog of the Month |

In his recent blog, Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst Brendan Read states that “Providing an excellent Customer Experience is a worthy objective, but it may not necessarily be aligned with corporate goals.” Why? “Suppliers that offer lesser quality products and services at lower prices calculate their strategy will generate higher repeat sales and profits. In this paradigm, customers will endure minimal customer service, if they perceive overriding benefits from their purchases.”
