It's a natural reaction to suggestions to improve customer experience - 'How much will it cost if I do?'


When a more telling question would be, 'How much will it cost me if I don't ?'


You work it out

86% of customers will pay more for a better customer experience

89% of consumers began doing business with a competitor following a
poor customer experience.

79% of consumers who shared complaints about poor customer
experience online had their complaints ignored.

"There are many who subscribe to the convention that service is a business cost, but our data demonstrates that superior service is an investment that can help drive business growth. Investing in quality talent, and ensuring they have the skills, training and tools that enable them to empathize and actively listen to customers are central to providing consistently excellent service experiences.” Jim Bush, executive VP, American Express
