How Starbucks, Amazon and Zappos Set the Standard for Customer Experience
Speaker after speaker talked about how utility customers are becoming much more demanding. Companies like Starbucks, Amazon and Zappos are setting the standard for customer experience and satisfaction. In turn, utilities are changing their service delivery models, communication channels, and overall design of the customer experience (CX). Of course, making these changes requires each utility to carefully understand their customers needs and opinions via best practice marketing research. It is this type of commitment that inspires FGI Research & Analytics in our work with utility companies across the nation.
As part of their quest to serve customers better, more and more utilities are adopting agile insights and advanced analytics. In fact, it was our distinct pleasure to celebrate the success of one of our utility clients in a recent blog post. New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) was recognized as leading the way in the use of online panel research as a best practice. Congratulations NJNG!
