To kick off the holiday season, Cyara is spreading some CX cheer, along with warm season’s greetings. And in the spirit of sharing, we’ve rounded up insights and perspective from both brands and customer experience (CX) experts. As we pulled together this roundup, we realized that, while the holidays come but once a year, delivering great CX is a year-round endeavor!
1. Jingle all the way to merry customers.
“A large part of understanding what satisfies customers is understanding what dissatisfies. Journey maps can be instrumental in identifying very specific pain points that you need to eliminate.” —Beverly McIntosh, President, McIntosh & Associates
2. Make your CX list, and check it twice.
Delivering a great CX is all about the details. It’s not enough to have a great design, you need to check it with automated monitoring from the customer perspective to make sure you deliver on your promise.
3. The weather may be frightful, but your omnichannel CX can be delightful.
Customers expect to have the context of their interactions with brands carry with them as they move from one channel to another. More and more brands are designing journeys to meet this need. To assure you deliver omnichannel journeys that work, be sure to test them as designed.
4. Like the Three Kings, follow yonder star to better collaboration.
Key to your CX success is close collaboration between the business and IT. This ensures that requirements are clear from the outset, and ultimately fulfilled.
5. Cyara, with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my CX tonight.
“Monitoring our CX across multiple environments has given us insights and context to what the customer was experiencing. Not only has it given us the ability to raise our satisfaction scores, and helped us reduce outages, but perhaps even more importantly, it’s brought awareness to our IT infrastructure team about how each part contributes to the whole.”—Richie Gass, IT Telephony & Call Center Technologies, Blue Shield of California
6. Deck your halls with CX quality and agility!
To succeed in the face of market dynamics, look to adopt an Agile/DevOps approach to accelerate your CX innovation while simultaneously improving quality.

“As companies adopt Agile/DevOps to meet fast paced business needs, one of the key underlying processes transformed is automated CX testing.” (Frost & Sullivan)
8. Kids may be writing to Santa, but your customers are not sending you feedback.
CX leaders need ways to assure their CX without relying on customer feedback, because 96% of customers don’t voice their complaints. Turn to your real-time operational CX data to complement those NPS and CSAT scores. Watch this webinar to learn how to build a strong CX metrics program.
9. What if CX doesn’t come from a store. What if CX, perhaps, means a little bit more!
“Mapping a journey is old-fashioned. The best journeys are not what we think they are. Let customers shape their own journey. But, make sure at any time you have the possibility to interact with them.” Merijn te Booij, CMO, Genesys
10. Yes, Virginia, top brands do win on CX.
In today’s experience economy, companies who deliver a stellar CX are reaping rewards. In fact, according to research from Temkin Group, 87% of consumers who’ve had a very good experience are likely to purchase more from that brand, vs. only 18% of those who’ve had a very poor experience.
