Customer experience is what drives satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy based on the quality of interactions throughout the customer lifecycle.

There is a massive gap between the experiences companies offer and the experiences a new generation of consumers demand. When polled, 80% of CEOs believe they are delivering a superior experience, but only 8% of customers agree.

This is the customer experience gap, and it has significant financial implications.

A recent study showed that “Customer Experience Leaders” grow 2x faster and maintain operations that are 15% leaner than the average company.
