Even though it’s early, my discussions these first few months of the year tell me that “employee experience” is becoming one of the buzzwords of 2019. The CEOs and CTOs I’ve spoken with at companies of all types and sizes are talking about the need to provide a world-class workplace experience for their employees (and what that actually means). But why should executives focus on providing a strong employee experience? Why should you use precious time and resources on improving how your employees work each day?

Breathing New Life into the Customer Lifecycle
A lifecycle is a marketing framework illustrating the series of changes that occurs as you move a customer through the marketing and sales funnel. The lifecycle used to be fairly to the point, with a focus on need generation, consideration, engagement, evaluation, purchase, delivery and usage. But because of social media and customer behavior things have changed and there's a need to re-evaluate the customer lifecycle. Additionally the stages of the lifecycle are not as linear as they once were, now they are more fluid. The customer could jump stages in your lifecycle in a non-linear fashion. The customer is empowered and as a result the customer lifecycle looks much different.

How to Improve the Customer Experience Using Internet of Things
According with Tom Raftery, It’s hard to overstate the value of delivering an excellent customer experience. For many customers, a huge majority of the buying experience is based on how they feel they are being treated. Some would even pay more for a better customer experience. Considering the proven value of loyal customers and the high cost of acquiring new ones, it only makes sense to keep them happy. The Internet of Things (IoT) can help.
