    Your organization’s customer experience (CX), refers to the quality of the experience your customers have every time they interact with you.

    This includes what you’d traditionally think of as customer service, such as in-person interactions. But it also includes less direct interactions your customers have with you, such as their digital experiences and even how they encounter your marketing.

    One good way to determine the entirety of your organization’s customer experience is to create an overview of your customer journeys. A customer journey is your average customer’s end-to-end experience with your company. It starts with how they first hear about you and spans all the way to when they’ve become a potential repeat customer.

    What is customer experience management?

    Every time your customer sees or interacts with your brand, it affects their perception of your company. Customer experience management is about managing this perception.

    Customer experience management (CXM) is the deliberate, strategic optimization of your customer experience across all the touchpoints of your customer journey. This might include:

    • Identifying and remediating problems customers are having in their journey with your brand

    • Finding new and valuable services you could provide to customers during the journey 

    • Revising your messaging to answer your customer’s questions and speak to their pain points more effectively

    • Optimizing your web presence to serve your customer’s needs better

    • Increasing your interactions with your customers on social media to proactively answer their questions

    • Changing elements of your branding to better appeal to your customers and evoke more positive emotions

    Why should you focus on customer experience management?

    Investing in CXM is well worth the effort. Improving your CX over time will help you understand your customers better and align every aspect of their experience with your brand with their needs and interests. The more you optimize experiences to demonstrate that you understand the needs of your customers, the more loyal you’ll make those customers.
