5 Ways to Create a Great Customer Experience

As consumers we all have had good and bad customer experiences. How can we, as sellers of goods or services, create a “Wow” experience for our customers? The Wharton School and The Verdi Group set out to discover what makes a Wow experience.

While many factors contribute to the overall customer experience, 5 key elements played a large role:

• Engagement: being polite, genuinely caring and interested in helping, acknowledging and listening.
• Executional excellence: patiently explaining and advising, helping to find products and solutions, having product knowledge and providing unexpected product/service quality.
• Brand Experience: exciting store design and atmosphere, consistently great product/service quality, making customers feel they’re special and that they always get a deal.
• Expediting: being sensitive to customers’ time.
• Problem Recovery: helping resolve and compensate for problems, upgrading quality and ensuring complete satisfaction
