Title: Experience Economics: Going Beyond ROI to Measure the Value of Experience

Audience:
B2B, B2C, Experienced: 5-10 years of CX experience

Presenter:
Dove LeBaron, CCXP

Description:

How does CX get a seat at the table with more prominent initiatives that are linked to growth? Rationales for focusing on CX tend to be driven by a gut belief that it’s just “the right thing to do”. The problem with that approach is that whether experience is a priority or not simply becomes a battle of opinions. Experience Economics is the practice of attributing value to customer experience in a way that allows us to make decisions about opportunity and focus. By striking the right balance between customer value and business value, we can be clearer about what customer experience is actually worth while also building the operational muscle for continuous improvement and greater responsiveness to customer needs.

However, the nature of the relationships and transactions is still fundamentally different between the two – and understanding those differences can help you reach your business goals. Sonya will discuss 8 ways B2B is different from B2C – and how those differences affect your CX program.
