The Magic of the Customer Experience
APRIL 2021

There are so many elements that make up the customer experience. To some if is courtesy. To others it's speed.

To some it is knowing about your products and services

The obstacle many of us face is we think were awesome at customer service. We reinforce this with fake surveys which organizations spend a lot of money on. In the US virtually every company has to survey you with each transaction. Too often the survey does not reflect the concerns which you are most interested in. There is almost no chance a problem you need solved on the survey will be responded to. Too many organizations spend money in the wrong area.

When I released Feelings in January 1980, it was the world's first customer service training program. Feelings was based on six core principles which are just as relevant today. It has been upgraded over 20 times but the principles and values are still the same.

Why Financially Customer Service Matters - Chewy.com

I like to follow service leaders. All my research shows the value of a real service leader grows with lightning speed. in 2017 Chewy.com was sold to PetsMart, Inc for $3.3 billion. Chewy went public in 2019. It is now worth about $33 billion. Sales for the last quarter increased $2 billion. Sales are expected to reach $9 billion in 2021. Chewy.com added in the last year 5.7 million new customers and now has 19.2 million active customers.

They are open 24/7. Live people answer the phone in seconds. They have hundreds of employees that send out personalized birthday cards to the parents of their pets. A friend of mine said she uses Chewy.com because they love my pet as much as I do. I have them featured in my book Relentless. Very few firms understand the financial power of superior customer service and if they do most are not Relentless.

John Tschohl Service Strategy Seminars

Developing a Customer-Centric Culture takes Relentless focus and work. My goal during the remainder of the year is to help organizations learn how to drive a culture wrapped around awesome customer service. I am available for live seminars using Zoom or whatever medium you prefer. While I am willing to jump on a plane to go anywhere in the US or the world, large events are limited.

I have received my 2nd Moderna vaccine on March 29. If you have an annual or special event where I can help please let me know. With Zoom, participants can be at their home or office with NO travel expenses occurred. The seminar can be any length you want. Customer service over the last 12 months is the worst I have ever seen. When business is hurting your customer experience has to be awesome. Not just good.

I speak on service strategy. How do you create a service culture? Management must buy into the strategy and live it every day like Northeast Delta Dental in the March newsletter or Chewy.com. I am offering my US pricing for seminars and with the savings on travel, you can easily save 50% off my normal seminars live. Visit my speaking site www.JohnTschohl.com
