The Trends, Do's, and Don’ts of Customer Service and Experience (CX) for 2024 In this week's special episode, Shep Hyken, customer service and experience expert and host of Amazing Business Radio shares his predictions for 2024 in customer service and experience, plus 10 things to start doing and 10 things to stop doing, with practical tips and actionable insights. Top Takeaways:   Customers are smarter than ever before. They are judging your business based on the best experiences they've had from any industry, and it doesn't matter if it's B2B or B2C. This means they no longer compare you to your direct competitors but to their best experiences with their favorite companies. Employee experience is as important as customer experience. How employees feel in your company directly affects the experience they provide your customers. Companies that align themselves with social causes are more appealing to customers—especially the younger demographics, Gen Z and Millennials. Forty-three percent of customers believe a company that supports a social cause contributes to their customer experience. Customers today are less patient and expect quick responses and fast service. Shep refers to this as "Amazonation," which has set a high standard for companies in any industry, worldwide. Companies must focus on increasing their speed in all aspects of their business, from delivery times to response times to emails and calls. Plus, Shep shares ten tactics that you must start doing, and ten things you must stop doing if you want to create a customer experience that gets customers to say, “I’ll be back.” And finally, Shep introduces The Super Amazing Show! Each week in 2024, Shep and Brittany Hodak, his friend and fellow customer experience expert, create short videos that include tips and strategies for becoming a more customer-centric company.
