My Take: Let's Take a CX Timeout
Gary Lemke, Chief Customer Advocate   (June 19, 2012)
 
Share







According to Gartner, there are at least 8,000 people with customer experience as a part of their job title. I bet there are thousands more who have responsibility for the customer experience without having the term on their business card.
 
It was only a few years ago that it would have been difficult to find even a few business cards with such words printed.
 
The dramatic increase speaks volumes to the growing importance of the role. It's a clear sign that organizations are investing heavily in CX. Of course, the investment is made with an expected return.
 
The game is far from over but it's time for a time out. How is the CX community of 8,000+ strong (and growing) doing? What results can your CX pros show so far? What's the score and how much more time is left in your CX game?
 
  What's your take?
