Transition – “so what’s going on here?”
MATT
We know buyers drive upward of 66% of their journey today. They do their own research. True for B2B and B2C, across all industries.
81% of consumers do online research before making a purchase (GE Capital research)
74% of business buyers told Forrester they prefer to conduct their research and purchase online (Forrester)
Your customer is leading the way. It’s not B2B or B2C, it’s B2Human…
MATT
Meanwhile, just being there in the path to purchase with a single message from a silo’ed channel isn’t enough anymore either. The cross-over between consumer and business customer expectations is pervasive. Customers expect personalized, behavior-driven experiences – regardless of your industry.
They expect these experiences well past the point of purchase, too. If growing revenue is what you’re after, you have to think about retention and cross-selling or or upselling. eMarketer has published research stating that it’s 5 to 10 times more expensive to bring in new customers than to retain them. We have to grow customers and delight them as well.
MATT
And there are so many more touchpoints to consider as we put our strategy to do this together.
In fact:
Nielson found that 59% of U.S. smartphone owners have used their devices to research an item before purchasing it… 65% of tablet owners say the same
There will be 200 billion connected devices by 2020 (Intel)
2020, it’s estimated that 90% of cars will be connected to the internet (Intel)
Google CEO Eric Schmidt has said, “by the end of the decade, everyone on earth will be connected”
MATT
There’s huge upside when we do this well… customers act on recommendations. They create virtuous cycles for us.
84% of people will trust and act on a positive customer referral. (Nielson)
And of course, the reverse is true. When we’re not hitting the CX mark by creating meaningful experience across touchpoints, your customers are also talking.
MATT
“In today’s world, marketing can never leave the side of the customer”… marketing taking more and more of a leadership role in the entire customer experience
86% of marketers say they will own the end-to-end customer experience by 2020. (Economist)
I’m going to turn it over to Laura to tell us more about what marketers can do to embrace this new, experience-driven reality and ensure those investments are measurably growing your bottom line.

We refer to our constant connection to the digital world as being always addressable. We’ve conducted a survey in North America for the last several years, that looks at this phenomenon. A positive response in this survey means that you connect to the internet with 3 or more devices, you connect to the internet several times a day, and you use a phone or tablet device when you are away from home or the office. In 2011, just over half of Americans self-reported as being always addressable. Last year, that number rose to nearly two-thirds.

A marketer’s primary purpose today revolves around: What media should I buy?
While a digital marketer must answer: How can I solve customer problems?
Nobody owns the customer, but somebody always owns the moment
Nobody owns the customer, but somebody always owns the moment
These moments aren’t unique to mobile. Have you ever had a discussion in your organization about “who owns the customer?”. Well, the truth is, nobody owns the customers, but somebody always owns the moment. That moment could be pre-sale, viewing an ad, using a product, or requesting service.
Laura:
We believe there are four areas of investment firms need to increase or focus more on to make customer obsession real and actionable. That investment is based on these four key strategic imperatives:
Turn big data into business insights to continuously improve your efforts.
Transform the customer experience with a systematic, measurable approach.
Embrace the mobile mind shift to serve customers in their moments of need.
Accelerate your digital business future to deliver greater agility and customer value.
Business leaders see CX improvement as a path to revenue growth.

Both of these examples are frictionless blends of marketing and customer experience
They are anticipatory – they deliver one to moment experiences by anticipating customer needs and emotional states
And they are immersive – they aren’t online or offline marketing programs. Rather they demonstrate their brand promise with utilities that integrate into customer life experiences
(Please put in more about what goes into these measures... with CX, what do people typically measure and what questions are driving those measurements. Doesn't need to be this detailed... liked this from the research)
Talk about continuous improvement as well.

What does context mean for how we think about the buyer’s journey?
How do I start to adapt my “funnel” approach to think about the lifecycle?
How do I work with my IT counterparts to drive better CX? (anecdote?)
If I work in a conservative industry, how do I evangelize the need to shift thinking to CX? What have you seen work?
