There is a story of an individual who had a death in the family. Upon cleaning
out their loved one's home they discovered many unopened boxes of Zappos
shoes. Not knowing what to do, the person called Zappos…

5.
Without a receipt or knowing how long the shoes had been sitting in the
closet, the customer service representative arranged to have the shoes picked
up at no charge and a refund was made. Seems kind enough, but the
individual who was dealing with a death in the family also received flowers
and a note of condolence from Zappos the following day.

“Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the
level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product
or service has met the customer expectation.”

7.
“Customer experience is how customers perceive their
interactions with a company along each step of a customer
journey, from discovery, to purchase and use, to getting service.”

Customer Service vs Customer Experience

9.
If a customer has to call customer service, then
something has gone wrong with their experience

10.
”Our version of a perfect customer experience is one in
which our customer doesn’t want to talk to us. Every time a
customer contacts us, we see it as a defect. I’ve been saying
for many, many years, people should talk to their friends, not
their merchants.” - Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com, founder

11.
”Zappos takes a completely different approach. You call them
and ask them for a pizza, and they’ll get out the Yellow Pages
for you.” - Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com, founder

12.
”People call customer service when they have a problem. So equating
customer service with customer experience is like saying that a safety net is
a trapeze act. Yes, the net is important to the act. But if the performer
needs to use the net then something has gone wrong with the show.”
Harley Manning and Kerry Bodine, Forrester Research

13.
”Customer experience is not just about rational experiences
(e.g. how quickly a phone is answered, what hours you’re
open, delivery time scales, etc.) - more than 50% of customer
experience is subconscious, or how a customer feels.”

to quit immediately. By offering people money to quit, Zappos ensures
that the people they hire are really excited about working there.
