Key Focus areas for customer experience

CX Feedback, Management, & Analytics

The way you obtain and share feedback is central to your ability to improve customer experience. Developing a better experience for your customers takes more than survey data — it requires actionable insights. With ExperienceConnect, you can measure, manage and improve your client experience through technology. We understand that B2B businesses require a different approach to customer service than B2C companies. As a result, we developed ExperienceConnect with businesses like yours in mind. Our surveys inspire meaningful engagement with your customers.

Employee Feedback

Discover how to improve staff engagement. Motivated, empowered staff work hard for your customers — making employee engagement a key service metric. ExperienceConnect has employee engagement capabilities that help you understand your staff environment. Like our customer experience solutions, our employee engagement services provide critical insights. This information will help you find ways to enhance your staff environment.

Market Research

Discover which aspects of your customers’ experience have the most impact, to grow your business. Gain deep insights into your industry to connect with your customers in new ways. After we work with you to establish your research goals, we’ll conduct online research, phone interviews, surveys and focus groups. Our analysts will then give you detailed data and recommendations to guide your engagement strategy.
