Author: Ellis Bennett / 03.23.2025
Customer experience (Customer Experience, CX) has ceased to be an exclusively marketing task. Today it is a strategic direction that affects customer retention, the reputation and operating indicators of the company. Consulting in the field of CX allows you to build a holistic model of interaction with clients at all stages of the life cycle.
CX consulting is aimed at the formation, implementation and optimization of processes that provide a high level of customer satisfaction, improving the quality of service and creating stable competitive advantages. This requires an integrated approach - from the audit to the transformation of culture.
The work begins with the diagnosis of the current state of client experience. Consultants conduct Customer Journey Mapping, collect feedback, analyze contact points, highlight problem areas and scripts where the company loses the client or does not realize the potential of interaction.
Based on the analytics, the target model of the client path is formed: the structure of communications, service standards, reactions protocols and personalization principles. This is a model in which CX tools are built into sales, service, logistics and support processes.
CX-consulting includes the introduction of metrics that reflect the real perception of the service: NPS, CSAT, CES, feedback in digital channels. Consultants help to establish a regular measurement system and interpretation of the results.
Particular attention is paid to the key points in the interaction: from the first appeal to work. The work of contact centers, digital interfaces, mobile applications and service points is analyzed. The goal is to make each contact consistent, convenient and value for the client.
Client experience directly depends on internal culture. Consultants form CX-oriented training programs, involvement, KPI for staff and standards of behavioral models. CX becomes part of the internal control system.
Consulting covers the introduction of digital solutions-from omnikanal platforms to chat bots, automated processing systems and personalized recommendation systems. The integration of technology enhances the possibilities of CX-strategy.
Consultants help to segment the client base, identify the needs of various groups, adapt sentences and communications. Personalized CX allows you to increase loyalty and increase the life cycle of the client.
Operational and structured work with complaints is the key to customer retention. Consulting includes the construction of a feedback processing system, automation of incidents routing and the development of trust restoration procedures.
After the introduction of the CX target model, performance is carried out. Consultants analyze the dynamics of indicators, correct processes, identify growth points and offer steps for further development.
Management of client experience is not a one -time initiative, but an element of strategic management. CX consulting allows you to build long -term relationships with customers, reduce the level of failures, strengthen the brand and provide growth in competitive markets.
