A happy customer is more likely to become a loyal customer. Customers no longer cling to the idea of brands, rather, they’re more inclined to deal with businesses that made their experience and sales journey better. In fact, 86% of buyers will pay more for a great customer experience.

Other statistics mentioned that 73% of consumers say that a good experience is key in influencing their brand loyalties. That is why 84% of companies work hard to improve their customer experience and reported an increase in their revenue.

What is Customer Experience?

Customer experience consists of focusing on your relationship between your business and your customers. This includes every single interaction, no matter how brief and even if it doesn’t result in a closed deal or purchase. Customer experience also involves how a customer interacts with a business, at all touchpoints of the customer journey.

So, what is the power of CX in sales and why you should be paying attention now?

An amazing customer experience is vital to the continuous growth of any business. A positive customer experience encourages loyalty, helps you retain more customers, and boosts brand advocacy.

As of the present, customers have the power, not the company nor the sellers.

Customers have an excessive list of options to choose from at their fingertips. Plus, they have access to information necessary to educate themselves and make purchases on their own. This is why it’s so significant to provide an outstanding experience and make them want to remain doing business with you.

Customer experience can do so much more than bringing in customers and retaining them. Here’s why you should start paying attention to the power of CX in sales.

Customer experience brings customer satisfaction

Customer experience is crucial to surpassing your customers’ expectations. Brands and businesses have to be precise, reliable, and deliver the service they guaranteed. The opportunity depends on your capability to deliver what you promised or even surprise your customer with a bit more care and support.

The main goal of customer satisfaction is to create a consistent customer experience across all touchpoints to exceed your and your customers’ standards. By keeping an eye on the entire customer journey, you’re making sure that the promise of a positive experience is kept and that you’re offering a superior service.

Customer experience can turn new shoppers into loyal customers

Creating an experience really impresses purchasers and ensures that they will keep doing business with you in the future. A superior experience becomes a valued and unique asset for any type of business.

Acquiring a new customer costs 7 times more than maintaining an existing one. Investing in your existing customers will pay off, and it’s only a matter of time until you see positive results.

What if your customer is unhappy?

Ideally, every business would rather have exclusively positive feedback, but unfortunately, that’s a pretty unrealistic goal. Customer service is an important part of developing brand loyalty, and the way you respond to unhappy consumers will determine what they say about you afterward.

Customer experience brings customer advocates

Word of mouth is one of the most powerful tools a company can wish for today. The truth is, 84% of consumers do not trust adverts anymore. People are now seeking third-party validation when making an online purchase.

And that’s why customer advocacy is so important.

By focusing on creating amazing customer experiences and embodying the desire for your business to go above and beyond, you’re creating an advocate out of every consumer.

How CRM systems can help you empower your Customer Experience

CRM Systems allow you to Keep in Touch

A great customer experience is impossible without ongoing and meaningful communication. This is where a CRM system can be a great tool to help, as it is constantly used as a customer loyalty tool.

So, how can CRM tools make sure that your customers stay satisfied and loyal to your business?

The answer is simple: keeping in touch!

A CRM system contains a wide range of customer information and previous customer interaction activities. Whilst it is good that your existing customer and prospect can reach you out through social media, phone call, or email; it is still better to have a tool that can merge all your communication histories in one place.

You can use the customer data within the system to keep your existing customers up-to-date with company news, offers, sales campaigns, or other marketing initiatives. CRM platforms can also segment your customers and address your audience with a personalized message, instead of sending them a generic email blast.

Example of Saphyte’s Lead Management Feature

If you want to be clued-in on what’s hot and what’s not, you’d better jump on to the social listening trend hear what your customers have to say. Send them a survey through email marketing campaigns.

Use your surveys to ask them what they think of your offers, services, and ask their opinion on what you can do to make their business experience better. In this way, you can show your customer and prospect customer how much you care. The more you listen to your customers’ needs, the more you build meaningful and lasting customer engagement. This engagement in return can help you build loyalty and encourage brand referral.
