The Direction Finder for Customer Experience Provides Insights on the Top Technologies for Customer Experience.

Understanding your customers current situations, and what drives them toward loyalty or defection, is the first step in delivering a superior customer experience, how you respond — and the customer experience (CX) you provide — determines whether you win in the age of the customer. It requires a mutual dialogue and a partnership that assumes if organizations advocate for customers, those customers will reciprocate with trust, purchases, and an enduring loyalty.
