Keynote
'Empowered customers need your attention'
Customers approach organisations with unique expectations and motivations that shape their perception. And these expectations are constantly changing, based on previous experiences inside the industry and other industries, digitally and in person. Customers’ ultimate satisfaction or irritation of an organisation and its services stem from their overall impression of end-to-end journeys.
Creating a customer-centric organisation isn’t easy. But only customer-obsessed companies will thrive in the age of the customer. To achieve that obsession, companies need to understand customers’ evolving attitudes and behaviours, and their overall impression and view of the service delivery.
In this keynote Reineke shares the outcome of extensive research about modern customers' evolving expectations. She highlights how to identify core motivations that predict how customers will perceive certain experiences, and how to improve experiences to satisfy these commonly called 'empowered customers’.
