Marteq's insight:

Customer Experience, or anything that it has been called over the past 100 years, has been generally ignored. Why? Because margins just don't support spending in this area. A Porsche dealer will offer you a manicure and pedicure, while a Hyundai dealer offers day old coffee.

B-to-B CMOs: It's Time to Own the Customer Experience - AdAge

B-to-B CMOs: It's Time to Own the Customer Experience - AdAge | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Today's b-to-b CMOs must go beyond just customer acquisition to unite all customer interactions into a common consistent experience. Why now? Because b-to-b customers are increasingly wearing their b-to-c hats to the office, expecting to find Amazon-like experiences that will make or break how they view your brand. In fact, customer experience (CX) is playing an increasingly powerful role at each phase of the customer lifecycle, blurring the lines between the brand and CX.


"So what's a savvy b-to-b CMO to do? While in a recent Forrester survey only 43% of CMOs told us that they owned customer experience in their organization, it's time for b-to-b CMOs to step up and accept responsibility for defining the customer experience across the enterprise. To keep customer engagement high throughout the entire relationship with the firm, CMOs must implement strategies that extend the brand promise across all touchpoints with a consistent and exceptional customer experience. Success will require CMOs to use customer experience methodology and tools -- as well as customer understanding -- to merge brand, marketing, and companywide functional interactions into a unified customer experience strategy."


MarTech requires constant optimization to continually squeeze ever improving performance.

Marteq's insight:

Don't think you can get away with this without technology. But own and optimize the MarTech stack first before tackling CX.

Enterprise CMOs Say They Spread Their Budgets Evenly Across the Customer Journey - Marketing Charts

Enterprise CMOs Say They Spread Their Budgets Evenly Across the Customer Journey - Marketing Charts | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
CMOs are no longer investing the majority of their budgets to customer acquisition, instead spreading their spending more evenly across the customer journey, says The CMO Club in a recent study [pdf] conducted in collaboration with IBM. The survey of 100 CMOs with annual marketing budgets of at least $1 million found 57% predicting an increase in overall budgets over the next 2-3 years, with spending growth expected across all stages of the customer journey.

Forrester Research : Marketing : B2B Execs Aspire To 'Amazon-Like' Customer Experience; Majority Lack Systems To Support It

"Fifty percent of B2B companies currently selling online expect that half or more of their total customer base will be buying online from them within three years. Further to that, B2B companies are already seeing average annual online sales growth of 19%, according to a new Forrester/Internet Retailer survey of 100-plus B2B eCommerce professionals.


But with the shift to online selling comes a slew of complications to the B2B ecosystem, where B2B buyers increasingly bring their B2C expectations to the workplace. And to make things more difficult, B2B companies must not only find a way to meet these expectations but must do so while competing with Amazon and Google, which are each stealing share and controlling B2B lead generation.


According to the study, while 48% of B2B eCommerce execs say they deliver a "better" customer experience than their direct B2B competitors, just 17% indicate that their company's customer experience is "better" than Amazon's."

How To Make The Case For Customer Experience - For B2B Pros - Forrester

How To Make The Case For Customer Experience - For B2B Pros - Forrester | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
CX professionals managed to overcome these challenges by creating the preconditions for success. Following their lead, you should:

Rethink metrics and analytics to link CX to financials. CX pros need to look beyond the usual metrics like revenue or NPS to find the metrics that help link CX to business success.. For example food packaging company Tetra Pak found that a custom partnership index was a better predictor of sales and volume growth than other metrics they tested.


Use customer understanding tools to segment clients by role and influence. Working with internal stakeholders that cross the customer life cycle, CX pros can use qualitative research or journey mapping to understand the different roles within client accounts and the role they play in overall account health. For example, Walker Information conducts qualitative research with its client’s customers to identify the decision-makers and user.


Expand data collection to obtain broader and deeper client insights. CX pros can overcome the experience data gap by creating incentives and processes that improve data quality. Schindler attacked this problem head-on by establishing KPIs to make sure contact data for the customers receiving their feedback surveys is up to date."

B2B Marketers Most Exciting Future Opportunity? Customer Experience

B2B Marketers Most Exciting Future Opportunity? Customer Experience | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

"Content marketing may be B2B marketers’ greatest current opportunity, but its appeal looks set to recede in the years to come in favor of other exciting opportunities, according to a new report [download page] from Econsultancy and Adobe. Instead, it will be customer experience (CX) emerging as the single most exciting opportunity for most B2B – and B2C – marketers.


Looking back at 2014, B2B marketers were most likely to say that content marketing (25%) turned out to be their biggest opportunity, ahead of others including the customer experience (17%), social (13%) and mobile (9%). Those results ended up being quite in-line with expectations at the beginning of last year, when B2B marketers predicted that content marketing (24%) and customer experience (15%) would be their most exciting opportunities.

CX is closing the gap, though, forecast by 21% share of B2B respondents this year to be their single most exciting opportunity. That’s only slightly behind content marketing (23%). Fast-forward 5 years, and CX becomes the most important opportunity, which the analysts theorize could be the result of content marketing becoming “business as usual.”"
