Finding the ROI of Customer Experience

Volume 6 | Issue 3 | Table of Contents

This issue of Customer Strategist is about “finding the ROI of customer experience.” Many customer experience professionals consider this topic extremely important, but answers highly elusive. The above examples represent much of the problem. How can you prove ROI on something your company doesn’t commit to?

In many cases, customer experience initiatives that are approved are small and siloed. Decisions are made based on how easily, quickly, or cheaply a program can be implemented, not whether it’s the right decision for customers or the business over the long term. Of course it will be difficult to prove overall business ROI in such a situation.

The articles featured in this issue break from that mold, and look at the entirety of customer experience projects from an enterprise-level view. A number of enlightened companies are transforming their business and operations to align with customers. New tools, processes, and operations can make a number of ROI connections related to financials, customer satisfaction, or operational efficiency. Leaders just need make the decision to try them.
