The EX CX Cycle

February 04, 2022 15:23 - 5 minutes - 5.14 MB

Good morning! Today we are going to have a brief talk on the EX/CX Cycle. What's that? I often use the equation ex=cx² or employee experience=customer experience squared.  The cycle is this: the employees take care of the customers, the customers take care of the business, the business takes care of the employees, and it repeats in a never ending circle of life. How is this done? Through a company culture that encourages transparency, respect, and collaboration.  https://linktr.ee/caffcx ...

It's Not Enough to Resolve Complaints

February 02, 2022 15:49 - 5 minutes - 5.07 MB

https://linktr.ee/caffcx Customer complaints. When a customer complains. How do you handle them? Do you throw hush money at them ("Hey we'll refund this money if you remove this bad review") to make them go away? Or do you use them as opportunities to make your business better?  In my opinion, it's not enough to resolve a complaint. You have to restore the customer's confidence in the company. And then make sure that kind of complaint NEVER happens again. What do you think? --- Support...
