It consists of touch points that set the tone for overall customer satisfaction, trust and loyalty -- including interactions with local branch operations, transactions with the phone/help center and advertising and social media outlets. Satisfaction at each of these touch points should be measured and managed to influences customer loyalty. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you don’t proactively design your customer experience, one will be provided for you. How easy is it to buy your product or service? Is your customer’s experience littered with overly complicated phone trees, slow response times, or unknowledgeable staff? Have you mapped out your customer’s experience and do you thoroughly understand all of the points of contact with your typical customer?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have been in the data gathering business in the past, but the future lies with data insights. You cannot gather more data only to deliver tepid insights. Your value and your place at the highest levels of the company is weakened by this result. However, your value is highest when you deliver insights to the right people and help them act upon them. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both Forrester Research and Gartner have predicted continued annual growth of between 15-20% for the customer experience and voice of customer industries. At Allegiance, we certainly see this growth happening. But what kind of changes will occur as more corporate boards, c-suites and leadership teams add savvy VOC pros? How will business change as a result of the insight that comes from these experienced people adding their voice to the mix, and sharing the data they produce?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The brand promise is the expectation that you set about your brand with your customers. Each of your touchpoints reinforces and fulfills the brand’s promise. Creating a customer interaction map forces you to think about the customer lifecycle and to consider or visualize the experience at each touchpoint – and ultimately, it identifies where the brand promise is broken.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s important to put all of VOC scores and feedback into the broader context – how well do you do stack up against your competitors? I’m talking about benchmarking, which means making comparisons to help you understand the perception of your business relative to the competition in the minds of your customers.
