Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In a bold move to cut costs, Frontier Airlines announced that it would no longer offer human-to-human customer support. As a customer service expert , I was surprised at this move. I have waited to see the fallout, if any, and thought the company might backpedal and reinstate traditional phone support. After almost two months, it hasn’t returned to conventional customer support. The dust has settled a bit, and people (passengers and employees) are adjusting to the decision. The decision to go digital is different from the decision Northwest Airlines (which eventually merged with Delta) made in 1999 to introduce online check-in to its passengers. The idea behind that technology, and eventually the technology driving online reservations, was to give the customer a better and more convenient experience while at the same time increasing efficiency. The big difference in that decision versus Frontier’s was that there has always … [Read more...] about Frontier Airlines Drops Human-To-Human Customer Service

Five Tips For Elevating Your Customer Journey
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Ashley Deland is a business consultant, owner of Maison De Land (formerly Deland Marketing) and a Business Elite top 40 Under 40 winner. When I’m hired as a business consultant, besides scanning the obvious business blueprint for necessities of success like marketing, branding, scalable systems and a uniformed digital ecosystem, I look at the customer journey and the multiple touch points within it. The customer journey is a pivotal piece to any business—but it's a piece that businesses often overlook. Having a well-designed customer journey is a core element of success that creates retention and referrals. When a brand focuses on providing an exceptional customer experience, they have the potential to see higher revenue rates and increased brand exposure. Why? In my experience, people are usually willing to pay more for better customer service and an elevated overall customer experience. Beyond profits, … [Read more...] about Five Tips For Elevating Your Customer Journey
Becoming A Customer Company: The New Blueprint For CX-Driven Business Transformation
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Companies around the world are making customer experience (CX) the top priority according to Harvard Business Review Analytical Services (HBRAS). But to do so takes more than lip service. To deliver an experience that customers value, you have to 1) know them, 2) organize around their unique expectations throughout their journey, and 3) serve them personally and in real-time. But companies aren’t there yet, not even close. In fact, HBRAS found that only 16% of CX-driven companies have a single (360-degree) view of customers. Even so, they lack the organizational structure to make use of those insights. It’s one thing to say you’re “customer-centered,” it’s entirely different when your company is literally organized around the customer. As customer expectations and behaviors evolve along with times, trends, tastes, and technologies, CX becomes intrinsic to business success. When you consider how the customer experiences your … [Read more...] about Becoming A Customer Company: The New Blueprint For CX-Driven Business Transformation

Putting Patients Before Insurance And Providing The Highest Level Of Healthcare
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Dr. Rahi Sarbaziha practices Integrative Aesthetics in Beverly Hills and NYC. There is the idealist view of what a doctor should be, and then there is the reality. I've noticed that in traditional practice, some physicians are focused so heavily on what insurance companies want and need that they sometimes forget to put the patient first. In America, people have access to different types of health systems, but it can be broken down to insurance-based and cash-based visits. I think providers throughout the healthcare system can learn from businesses when it comes to establishing best practices. And recently, leaders in the public and private sectors have started exploring a collaboration to create an integrated model that merges business acumen with social awareness. Many times patients visit doctors who are underpaid, overworked and feel pressures from insurance companies and administrative staff to … [Read more...] about Putting Patients Before Insurance And Providing The Highest Level Of Healthcare
