Customer experience management.

user-img

Customer experience management (or CXM) is the practice of managing the experience of every customer across all touchpoints and departments. Better CXM helps businesses with their better brand image, helps them retain more customers, and even convert them to brand advocates.

Gartner defines customer experience management as "the practice of designing and reacting to customer interactions to meet or exceed their expectations, leading to greater customer satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy."

What is a customer experience management platform?

A customer experience management platform is a solution that enables you to manage and improve your customers' overall experience by providing a 360-degree view of their interactions with your business, such as support calls, sales emails, and social media interactions.

The platform also enables a seamless flow of customer information from one department to another, allowing improved marketing campaigns, lead qualification, support quality, and customer retention. An ideal CXM platform should help your business unify all your customer data so you have access to a centralized place for all your valuable customer information.

How is a CRM system different from a CXM platform?

A CRM, or Customer Relationship Management System is focussed on your sales teams. A CXM, or Customer Experience Management Platform is an extension of your CRM system, focussing on your sales, marketing, and customer support teams.

CRM System

A CRM, or Customer Relationship Management system, is an application that's focused on your sales teams. It started off as a database to maintain prospect and contact information, and over the years, the capabilities of CRM have evolved to acquiring prospects for your business, nurturing them through automation, and improving your customer relationships. 

CXM Platform

A customer experience platform is an extension of your CRM system, scaled to your entire organization. A CXM platform can map your customers' entire journey with your business across sales, marketing, support, social media, and operations. You can use it to bring together all your departments by promoting a seamless flow of collaborative data across multiple channels of communication. This provides an end-to-end view of your customers and enables customer-facing employees to respond to their needs rapidly, through a seamless transition of relevant customer information from one channel to another.

Why should you choose Customer Experience Management (CXM) software?

Do you know what your customer's most recent purchase has been? Do you know the number of times your prospect has visited your website? Do you know what your customers are talking about on social media?

Becoming a customer-first organization starts with alinging and making good use of customer information. Traditionally, customer information is scattered and diluted across separate applications for sales, marketing, customer support, and operations. This siloed approach can negatively affect your end customer's experience. A customer experience management platform unifies all your customer-facing teams, empowers them with quality customer data and tools for top-notch customer support and retention.

Customer experience (CX) is one of the top 3 areas of marketing investment.

52%
