Edge Over The Competition
In the past, trust was seen as a “soft” corporate issue. Businesses are beginning to understand how trust is connected to the value of the company, its competitiveness, and revenue.
Trust is anything but soft. Consumers are looking to affirm their values when interacting with companies.
When the product and service quality live up to your brand promise, companies create meaningful Customer Experience (CX), improving their repetitional value and trust.
A recent Accenture study of 25,000 global consumers found that of the customers that switched companies, 46% did so because of a lack of trust in the former company.
To find the total cost of "Trust" you must factor in the customers' ability to speak up, organize and boycott.
Strategic Business Partnerships can assist in making sure that the company they are working with builds and maintains trust value.
In any good partnership, there is a give and take.
Being able to meet consumers where they are is the key for all businesses.
54% of customers say companies need to transform how they engage with them.
Having an SBP can be a solution to possessing the information needed to meet consumers expectations.

CX key Dif 2
In a 2019 study across 20 industries with 10,000 participants, consumers described loyalty and experience with companies.
Consumers that have a good experience with a company will likely make additional purchases from that company (up to 80%). Consumers that have a poor experience will be less likely to repurchase from that company (up to 59%).
​
A modest improvement to CX in a typical company can yield an additional $775,000 over three years.
91% of consumers will purchase again if the CX reaches them on an emotional level.
There are three ingredients of an excellent Customer Experience.
-
Success
-
Effort
-
Emotion
All three elements impact customer loyalty, but an improvement in emotion drives the most significant increases.
It is evident that CX influences how consumers recommend a company, repurchase goods from a company, trust a company, forgive a company, and try new offerings from a company.
Reaching your consumers on an emotional level can be the secret ingredient for sustainability during uncertain times.
CX equals profit 2
Organizations worldwide fail to implement essential, digital customer experiences (CX), according to studies dating back to 2017.
Only 1 in 10 organizations believe that their digital strategies are at optimal levels, leaving 90% of businesses with disjointed CX solutions across all platforms.
A strong SBP can point out weaknesses and put a company on the right track with a cohesive CX.
2-Digital delema 2
Only 36% of companies have appointed a board-level executive to be responsible for customer experiences.
These experiences lead to a gap between consumers and executives and ultimately cause harm to businesses.
The digital dilemma is deepening.
Disconnects in the digital functionality will not meet consumer requirements, rather, they will frustrate the customer and disempower employees leading to high turnover.
Organizations have been challenged to keep pace with consumer behavior. Our world has formed a digital skin, changing business, service, technology, and commercial models.
The choices organizations make with strategic CX and digital will define their future.
