Description

Some business leaders may believe that Customer Centricity is simply Customer Service, some even refer to customer service as customer experience. And, what about Customer Success Managers, are they being customer centric?  In this course, Customer Centricity will be explained, describing how it should permeate an entire business, across all operations and functions, not just problem solving a current customer relationship (the very definition of customer service or customer success). You'll better understand how customer centricity will lead to better and more informed decisions.

You will also understand how putting the customer at the center of a business can drive better customer engagement leading to higher NPS scores, higher star ratings, better written reviews and a better employee experience.

And, you will understand it's definition and how to lead others to a unified definition of how customer centricity can benefit your organization. We will cover some additional topics related to tools to assist in planning activities, using data for success and the overall customer experience.
