ABOUT
ABOUT CX JOURNEY INC.
CX Journey Inc. is a customer experience strategy consulting firm that specializes in laying the groundwork required to establish a CX roadmap and strategy that will drive your culture transformation efforts and ensure that the customer is at the center of all you do. We offer a variety of services, including coaching, consulting, workshops, speaking, and thought leadership/content.
We believe that customer experience is a journey, a never-ending journey. Once you’ve designed the best experience for customers today, their needs change, their expectations evolve, customers change, etc. You’ll need to think about the experience today and listen for – and anticipate – what lies ahead. You must always strive to deliver a great customer experience, not only at a single touchpoint but also – especially – along the entire journey.
We also believe that (1) culture is the foundation of your business, and culture transformation is the root of CX strategy success; (2) the employee experience cannot be an afterthought, rather, employees must come first; and (3) understanding along the journey is key to developing a strategy that allows employees, customers, and businesses to achieve their desired outcomes.
Our mission is to help companies put the “customer” in customer experience.
We are based in Orange County, CA, and serve clients around the globe.
