The \u201cMatrix,\u201d for the intents and purposes of this blog, is customer experiences. It\u2019s the way they feel after buying a new bodywash that takes them away during their shower to the land of ultra-moisturizers and gardens. They scroll their phone and see images of fantastic models in clothing they can then imagine themselves wearing at an upcoming party.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>CX leaders and owners understand the experience is at once real and a created moment a company manifests in alignment with their customers\u2019 needs and wants. That aspect of customer experience is scientific, when broken down. A customer\u2019s experience is their perception of an interaction with a company\u2014be it physical, mental, or subliminal. Emotions are the root of human behavior, and customer perception is the root of a customer\u2019s decision-making process. The companies that can create the best emotional connections to a product\/service are the ones that also create the best experiences for their customers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>To continue with the CX Matrix idea, you took the red pill to create better experiences that customers have within the Matrix blue pill. Sam Walton said, \u201cThe goal of a company is to have customer service that isn\u2019t the best, but legendary,\u201d and he wasn\u2019t wrong. Legendary service creates legendary experiences for customers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>Legendary? Sounds like you made the right choice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2>Experiences that are awe-inspiring<\/h2>\n<p>We are all for exemplary experiences, and so we thought we\u2019d share some exceptional experiences provided by companies that can inspire your own CX initiatives:<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>VIP Treatment meets Express<\/strong> \u2013 Starbucks is a giant coffee chain that most recognize even if they aren\u2019t an enjoyer of caffeinated beverages. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starbucks.com\/rewards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starbucks Rewards<\/a> combines special treatment with express line speed so that customers can have full-service ordering from home or on the go before shortlisting at shops for faster pickup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community to build experiences<\/strong> \u2013 Apple speaks for itself in the phone and computer market, but the community is even greater. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/welcome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">community<\/a> is a vibrant one with posts, discussions, help, and subcommunities who can share, interact, and be part of the Apple design process, all at the same time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expansive personalization<\/strong> \u2013 Sony is a mega-giant, spanning various products, services, and industries that all exist under one umbrella. It may be assumed that this would overwhelm customers, but instead Sony invites them to expand their customer loyalty through additional products and services by using targeted personalization. It\u2019s a way of narrowing the focus on what customers want while mastering upsell and cross-sell through their customer-driven analytics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you see a trend in these top experience providers, you\u2019re on the way to better experiences for your customers, too. One thing they all have in common is the drive for customer engagement. They focus on bringing their customers into decision-making processes and changes in a very real way. Customers feel part of these brands instead of just passive consumers of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>What is your CX Matrix going to look like for your customers?<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Now is the best time to get\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/online-survey-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feedback<\/a><\/strong>\u202ffrom your consumers about what matters most to them and use that info to decide which initiatives to start with.
