What is the difference between Customer Service and Customer Experience?
The difference between customer service and customer experience (CX) is that while customer service is one piece of the puzzle — focused on human interaction and directly supporting customers— customer experience is the sum of the entire customer journey with your business. The sum total of your customer's EXPERIENCES, how they FEEL about conducting business with you.
More than 50% of a Customer’s Experience (CX) is subconscious or how a customer FEELS about their Experience. CX is your customer's perception of how your company treats them. These perceptions affect customer behaviours, build memories and feelings that drive loyalty. If your customers have a positive experience and like you they are going to conduct business with you, become loyal brand advocates and recommend you to others.
Customer Experience is the sum of all touch points & interactions throughout a customer’s relationship with your brand, including pre-sales. Each micro experience impacts the outcome of that customer’s relationship. (Harvard Business Review)
