“Moving beyond customer experience, if customers find it easy to do business with you and experience consistent high-quality experiences every time through every touchpoint, then you are moving from customer experience to customer excellence,” wrote Macciola at CMSWire.com. “While companies understand the importance of customer experience, many don’t know where or how to make improvements.
