In fact, it wouldn\u2019t be so farfetched to say that even if you sell top-quality products or services, one bad experience can put a customer off forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter your industry, size or scale, delivering excellent CX drives many factors in your favour\u2013\u2013customer loyalty, customer retention, or the highly-coveted word-of-mouth publicity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that is easier said than done. We know that providing consistent service to every customer, every time can be challenging. The staggering number of strategies, the variety of channels customers reach out on, and the over-saturated playing field sets a daunting scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But wait. There\u2019s no need to get overwhelmed. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Insights on Consistent CX from Naeem Arif<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our \u2018Expert Opinion\u2019 series, we have roped in <\/span><strong>CX expert Naeem Arif<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to simplify these concepts for you. An award-winning entrepreneur and management consultant, Naeem Arif is often known as the \u2018Customer First Enabler\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to find out what Naeem Arif\u2014with over two decades of experience in the field\u2014has to say about providing consistent top-of-the-line customer service.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 1: Why did you decide to enter the field of customer experience and be a business coach?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suppose you can say that I didn\u2019t decide to get into CX, it just happened naturally. My family owned a restaurant and then a retail business, so I grew up learning about the importance of giving good customer service. It was always more than just a transaction. A good customer experience now, for me, is something that customers don\u2019t just expect but demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 2: How has the customer service industry evolved over the years?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is very interesting to go to new businesses, see what they do and recognise what they are capable of. Traditionally, this was what a consultant or an analyst would do, but for a long time, there wasn\u2019t a lot of research in the field of CX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key turning point was when Fred Reichheld (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York Times <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bestselling author and a business strategist known for his research on loyalty marketing and business model)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">asked, \u201cWhat is the likelihood that you would recommend Company X to a friend or colleague?\u201d That\u2019s how we came to the concept of Net Promoter Score (NPS).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It started a new era of customer service, with its language and terminology becoming more common. And, as CX consultants, we can now easily explain these to our clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last few years, CX has really developed as a profession. There are a growing number of professional CX qualifications and associations around the world, most notably, the CXPA (Customer Experience Professionals Association) which is leading this space.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 3: Can you talk about the role of technology in improving customer experiences?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology is influencing all aspects of businesses. Even from a customer\u2019s perspective, it is setting new standards of expectations. Leading this charge are companies, like Amazon and Facebook, that have transformed the way we find, order and consume products and services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two things that have happened over the last decade. Firstly, it has become easier to start a business, which means that there are many more options for customers to pick from. Secondly, people value their time a lot more and don\u2019t want to wait around for things that can happen quicker with the right technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer expectations regarding the simplest of things have changed. Take for example, queuing up to pay for purchases, one-click buying or next-day delivery. Companies that are reluctant to adapt to the latest technology are in danger of going out of business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 4: How important is customer acquisition and retention? And how do they affect the business world?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of companies focus all their attention on customer acquisition. They are forever chasing new businesses and leads. While it is important to do so, they often forget to invest time in customer retention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you have a product that you sell only once, you will want to see customers return to you for repeat purchases. Repeat customers are inevitably more profitable\u2014you spend less time convincing them to buy from you\u2014and they become good referrals too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It often upsets me when a business invests a lot of time in acquiring new customers, and then does not pay enough attention to them, shifting their focus to getting new ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 5: Could you comment on the changing trends in how businesses prefer tackling CX?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an increase in the amount of knowledge and research in the field of CX recently. And with it comes an acceptance of the importance of consumer experience, businesses are not only taking it more seriously, but are also seeing a direct impact on their return on investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a company, you can set up a digital presence, launch a website, handle social media channels, and work on SEO. But so can other companies. What cannot be replicated is providing good customer experiences. A personalised customer experience can create precious memories which can lead to higher customer retention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 6: Please share a customer service experience that inspired and influenced you as a professional.<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many inspirational stories in the field of CX and more are being created every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always go back to the simple things I see and experience; like that birthday meal at a restaurant where the owner made you feel special. Or when you go back to a retail store you frequent and they remember your name and favourites. Or, say, when you check-in at a hotel you previously stayed at and they remember your preferences.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the types of simple customer experiences that create a lasting impression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 7: As a customer experience manager, how do you implement service-related policies and changes like schedules and new customer incident reporting procedures?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe that everyone in your organisation, from the doorman to the delivery men, needs to understand the role they play in providing customer delight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a chain, every link has a responsibility. If a single link fails, the chain will break. That\u2019s why everyone must understand that customer service and experience are not just limited to the sales or marketing teams. \u2018<a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/customer-service-go-from-good-to-amazing\/\">Creating repeat customers<\/a>\u2019 must be a part of the company culture, if not its DNA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to explain to your staff <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you are making changes and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> these changes will help them work better towards their goals. If you simply ask them to make changes without explaining the reason, they are more likely to resist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 8: Your book, <i>Customer First: How the best-loved brands convert and retain customers,<\/i> is quite a hit. What are some key insights you&#8217;d like readers to take from it?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book is based on my knowledge and experience of working in customer-facing roles for two decades. There are a number of things I talk about, but here are 3 things that I hope everyone understands after reading the book:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&gt; While SEO and big data are important, they won\u2019t replace a friendly welcome and personal attention. Excellent customer service is how SMEs will dominate the marketplace; customers will remember your service much longer than your price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&gt; Chase customer satisfaction\u2014not turnover, and you can create a loyal clientele who will further spread the word for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&gt; I am a big advocate of putting the customer first in everything I do. Repeat customers are way more profitable than new clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 9: Are you working on any new book? If yes, can you please elaborate on it?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Naeem:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the launch of my first book, I have managed and delivered a CX book series called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer Experience<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this series, the spotlight is on new experts from around the world. We have released two editions in the last year and both were No.1 bestsellers in different counties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ques 10: What tips would you give to business owners looking to improve their customer journey?<\/h3>\n<p><b><strong>Naeem: <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer journey includes the steps that your customers take as they engage with you. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can start off with awareness building, and culminate in buying your product. You need to understand this journey from your consumers\u2019 point of view and not yours because this isn\u2019t about what you are going through as a company. Experiencing your customer\u2019s journey can provide great insights into how easy or difficult it is for them to buy your product or services. Additionally, this journey should also promote repeat purchases.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>To sum up<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this interview, <a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/naeemarif\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Naeem Arif<\/a> has not only reiterated the importance of dishing out excellent customer service but has also given keen insights on how to achieve it.
