Workshop on Advanced Customer Experience (CX) and Brand Activation

For a great customer experience, every interaction at every customer touch point must be exceptional. Customer Experience (CX) means creating and effectively managing your customers’ emotions. In fact, every single interaction that occurs between an organization and its customers fosters an emotion of some kind. Whether that emotion is deep frustration or sheer delight is largely up to you and how thoughtfully you design, plan, and execute the customer experience. This course provides you with all you need to know about creating a customer centric culture and coming up with a workable customer experience framework for your organization. Narrowing down on the topic, you will be able to measure your customer service effectiveness, come up with CX strategies, measure your CX initiatives, and create areas for improvement in your CX programs.
