    Creating a Customer Experience Culture

    Last night during the CXO Leaders Summit Gala Dinner, aboard the MV Epicure, Naomi Simson, Founding Director of RedBalloon. Entrepreneur; Blogger; LinkedIn Influencer; Author; Speaker spoke on Creating a Customer Experience Culture. How do our customers experience the brand? What are your employees saying about your business when they interact with the customer? The Summit attendees were greeted aboard the MV Epicure by Naomi, who provided a humbling presentation that emphasised the importance of people in a data-driven world.

    Naomi shared her RedBalloon journey…which is now one of Australia’s tech-start up success stories, claiming relief of not having to talk about her book, as she’d already provided a signed copy to the Summit attendees. She spoke on spending her savings of $25,000 for the RedBalloon webpage and expressed her anxiousness, waiting upon the customer. “I launched this website…and there were no customers. I would tie red balloons to my briefcase,” she said.

    Throughout the CXO Leaders Summit sessions…the most reoccurring topic, was analysing the customer via analytics. But Naomi gave a humanising reminder for today’s key marketers, saying, “You’re talking so much about data, but never ever forget, that they’re people,” adding a tip on customer experience; “It’s about being in their world,” and emphasising truly understanding your customers from your customers perspective.
