This post continues the conversation started in the earlier post which disclosed the UK’s Top 10 Customer Experience brands and provided an analysis of the Top 100 brands by industry.
Nunwood’s Six Pillars of Customer Experience
The folks at Nunwood claim “we have used advanced text analytic techniques to derive and then statistically validate the six most important factors that customers talk about when it comes to great experiences”. What are these factors?
Personalisation: using individualised attention to drive emotional engagement
Time & Effort: valuing the customers time – minimising the effort and creating frictionless processes
Expectations: managing, meeting and exceeding customer expectations
Integrity: being trustworthy and engendering trust
Resolution: turning a poor customer experience into a great one
Empathy: achieving an understanding of the customer’s circumstances to drive deep rapport
What can we learn about these six pillars of Customer Experience by looking at the Top 10 brands?
In their report Nunwood list the top brands by each of the Customer Experience pillars. So:
- Amazon sits at the very top for the Personalisation and Time & Effort pillars;
- Virgin Atlantic is the leader in the Expectations pillar;
- John Lewis leads when it comes to the Integrity pillar; and
- QVC leads in both the Resolution and Empathy pillars.
What is not easy to do, from the report, is to see at one glance what each of the Top 10 brands does in terms of these six pillars. So I have taken some time to piece that together for you and here it is:
Coming Next
In the next and last post, I will share with you details of the “brands that have cracked the code” and are making major leaps forward – according to Nunwood. And in particular I will single out one brand that shows up for as being truly innovative in its business model, in customer engagement, in being social and making online community work, in putting its customers truly at the centre of its way of doing business. I also happen to be a customer of this brand.
