It's an interesting analogy and observation. I think what David (the company) failed to do in this example is to understand the real needs Margaret (the customer) had and the drivers behind them. In addition a collection of seemingly unimportant faults in the customer journey may have occurred without being addressed and accumulated into a rejection.

Is a branded experience more important than customer-centricity?
26th Mar 2018

I feel it's a very well articulated description of CX teams' functions, thank you. In many organisations CX teams face redundancies and budget cuts now because they are not strong enough in articulating their purpose and more importantly easy to distract from it to deliver 'quick wins'.

Do businesses understand what customer experience teams do?

Shaun, thank you for the article. I did not realise the scale of CX ignorance, although certainly caught glimpses of it from my own experience. Still surprises me how many companies think they want to focus on customer experience, invest into CX professionals, consultancies and tools and do nothing with the results. If the goal is to put quick fixes in place (usually branded as 'wins') it could surely be done a lot cheaper.
