Gone are the days where customers cared about one thing and one thing only: a quality product. There has been a shift in customer behavior, trending towards wanting a more complete experience. If the customer feels roadblocks in their journey, they will simply quit and go on to the next shop. The point of the modern customer experience isn’t about having all the bells and whistles, but wanting to experience smooth sailing without any hiccups or grating details. That’s why, as a business, you must think about customer effortless experience.
Definition and explanation of customer effortless experience.
While you may be familiar with the idea of customer experience and what it entails, customer effortless experience is a slightly different beast. Here, the focus is on ease, simplicity and fluidity. How easy is it to use your website? How quickly can a customer complete their journey? Did they encounter roadblocks or frustrations during the process? These are the questions that you should be asking yourself because that’s what the customer subconsciously thinks about. The best way towards understanding customer effortless experiences is to imagine the process of purchasing something and thinking about what can go wrong and how to avoid it. Imagine you’re looking to buy a piece of clothing or some shoes. You open the website of your go-to retailer and before you’ve even started looking for the item you want you’re bombarded with pop-ups about promotions, the help chat is opening in the lower right and a banner is appearing notifying you about the upcoming sale. After you’ve managed to close everything you try to find some shoes to go with your outfit but every pair you find is not available in your size, and the store doesn’t have the option to filter by size. At long last you’ve reached the end, you have the item and proceed to checkout finding that you have to enter your address and the rest of the shipping information all over again. All of these things are small problems but amount to a terrible shopping experience. At that point you might decide that the hassle isn’t worth it and you switch to your second favorite retailer. One that has a more narrow selection, but one that offers a smooth experience. That is the power of customer effortless experience.
How to work on customer effortless experience?
Recently one of our clients, a clothes retailer, experienced a boom in business after lockdown lifts due to an increase in social gatherings and formal events. Through optimization of their processes and listening to customer feedback we concluded that their main issue was the level of difficulty for the buyer to change their address. This dissatisfaction and frustration of the user with their customer experience culminated in a lot of bad reviews and feedback. Once the issue was identified and rectified, customer satisfaction increased to a point where the client no longer needed 40 FTE but reduced their operation to 20 FTE. We can also do something similar together. So how do we actually do this?
Find out where your customers are and meet them there.
lt pays off to consider where your customers are, because that’s where you should be. It always pays off to implement an omnichannel approach,this means being active on social media, using instant messaging apps, email, etc. This is immensely important because it allows the customer to contact you in a way they see most convenient which increases their satisfaction before the interaction has even started.
This also means implementing a CRM to stay on top of the interactions you have with your customers. The fact that you’re open to having interactions via different channels means that your customers will use those channels and sometimes that ease of use for them means a headache for you. Keeping track of who talked to a customer, when they did it, and what they talked about can be a nightmare. Luckily, we’re experts at CX with a long experience in omnichannel services, meaning we can help you keep your customers happy and carefree, without them having to repeat the same information several times over.
This omnichannel integration creates a win-win-win situation. The customer has a seamless experience contacting you that integrates with their lives and preferred channel of communication. You, as a business, get better reviews, returning customers, etc. And last, but not least, the agent experience is vastly improved. With an implemented omnichannel approach and CRM the agent has less clicks per interaction and has all the information they need. All of the data, from history of interactions to history of purchases, helps the agent resolve the query faster.

Leading Voices: how CIO Sandra Kujundzic’s teams tame AI volatility and drive real value.
AI is accelerating faster than enterprise operating models were designed to handle. In every organization, transformation is underway. Roadmaps are expanding, budgets are shifting, and expectations from boards and customers are rising. But acceleration without structure creates volatility - and customer experience is no exception to the rule. While technology introduces possibility, leadership determines whether that possibility becomes measurable value or a mere disruption.
