Customer Experience Essentials

Workshop Overview

Customers are drawn to a social enterprise the first time because of its impact, but the desire to buy again depends on their experience at every touchpoint with the organization and its brand. In today’s highly competitive business environment, how a business delivers for its customers is just as important as—if not more important than—the products and services it provides. Understanding the customer experience is critical, without which it is difficult to generate recurring sales, grow revenues and provide the funds necessary to create and sustain impact.

Using a discussion rich format, the session will provide you with an in-depth introduction to customer experience and how to bring it to life as a key element of your business strategy. The workshop will cover:

• Key components and drivers of customer experience
• Why the customer experience is important,
• Measuring and capturing customer feedback,
• Building a customer-centric culture, and
• Best practices to create superior customer experience.
  

Please Note

The workshop has been created to specifically cater to the needs of social enterprise and social purpose business practitioners operating in the Ottawa area. Registrants may be contacted to establish details of their social enterprises/social purpose business or to establish their relationship with the sector.
