Every executive serious about growing their business also must be serious about understanding what is really happening when it comes to the perception and behavior of customers. Customer Experience, or CX, continues to permeate discussions among leadership teams, service teams, product and marketing teams, and board members as it becomes increasingly clear that winning today is as much about how customers feel about a brand’s offering as the offering itself.
An entire industry has grown up around the measurement of customer satisfaction (CSAT). It arrived on the scene a few decades ago, even before the internet drove customers online, where interactions could be scored based on what customers and prospects did that would lead to a sale -- or no sale.

It's time for a reality check. Chatbots are killing customer service.
Obliterating it, maybe.
If you're a customer, you probably already know that. The computer programs that conduct clumsy conversations with you when you have a customer question are maddening. But if you work for a company, maybe you won't believe chatbots are killing customer service until you see the evidence.

Understanding the various touchpoints (e.g., in person, digital) you have with your customers is key to delivering a memorable customer experience.
Once you’ve mapped out your touchpoints, it’s often helpful to group them into channels. That’s the focus of this blog post.
The most common channels
There are five channels that we see often at PeopleMetrics: websites, mobile app, contact center, in location, and field services (in the home):
Websites: refers to customers visiting websites to gather information about a company. Can include both mobile and regular versions of the website.
Native Mobile App: refers to customers who download a company’s iOS or Andriod app, and feedback is gathered about their experience with it.
Contact Center: an important touchpoint where customers call for more information or assistance. Online chat is another part of modern contact centers.
In Location: refers to an actual in-person customer experience, such as a retail store, restaurant, or hotel.
Field Services: customers interact with a company in their home.

There’s a company X that collects customer feedback. Company X prefers the Net Promoter Score® (check outthis guide on Net Promoter Score to find how you can use it for your company), yet it could be any other metric. They ask the very familiar NPS question: “How likely is it that you would recommend brand » to a friend or colleague? (on a scale from 0 to 10)” after each customer purchase or interaction. But guess what? The company X doesn’t ask why the customers are giving the score. A number, a score is all what they track.
