Managing the Customer Experience

HomeBlog › Managing the Customer Experience

Every time a homebuyer interacts with your company, they form an impression.  They visit your website to look for a home.  If they can easily find what they are looking for, and if the pictures they see are inspiring and professional, they will have a good experience.  If, when they call you, they are greeted in a professional way and given the attention they crave, their experience keeps getting better.  And each interaction either adds to or takes away from their total perception of you and your company.  That’s what defines the Customer Experience.

Great customer experiences don’t just happen; they result from painstaking attention to the entire homebuying (and home selling) process. Gartner defines Customer Experience Management as “the practice of designing and reacting to customer interactions to meet or exceed customer expectations and, thus, increase customer satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy.”

Customer experience management is about knowing your customers so completely that you can create and deliver personalized experiences that will keep them delighted and encourage them to refer you to others – and that’s the most valuable form of advertising there is.

This approach to customer relationships goes beyond marketing tools. It strives to meet or exceed customer expectations and puts customers at the center of business. Whether answering queries, interacting on social media or assisting during purchases, CXM helps turn every engagement — be it passive or active — into a positive one.

So many things can affect the customer experience, how do you know where to start? Here are three steps to successful customer experience management:

1. Create and maintain complete customer profiles.

2. Personalize all customer interactions.

3. Get the right information to the right place at the right time – every time.
