How NextCon17 Can Help You Boost Customer Experience

Why should you sacrifice your time and money to attend a business conference? Specifically, why should you attend one like NextCon17, which explores the customer experience?

How NextCon17 Can Help You Boost Customer Experience

Here’s how important customer experience (CX) is. A company’s financial gain could skyrocket from 25% to 95% if that company increases its customer retention rate by as little as 5%.

Another striking statistic is that when people experience poor customer service, 89% of them no longer patronize that business.

With these stats (plus the fact that improving customer service seems like common sense), you would think that CX would be a high priority for all organizations. But many brands struggle in this area and are losing large amounts of money as a result.

NextCon17

This is why attending NextCon17 would be extremely valuable for your business. NextCon’s host, Nextiva, is a cloud-based communications company that serves over 150,000 businesses in the United States.

Nextiva not only strives for excellent customer service in its own operations but also fosters that same quality in businesses throughout the country. These values are why Nextiva’s leaders have worked so hard to organize NextCon.

Nextiva saw enormous success last year with NextCon16, which featured names such as Guy Kawasaki and Steve Wozniak. NextCon17 showcases a strong lineup of speakers. These thought leaders possess business acumen as well as considerable knowledge in the customer experience sphere.
