While most Aussie companies say customer experience is constantly at the forefront of their strategy, research from Forrester suggests most companies are actually rubbish at it.
The findings come from the Forrester Customer Experience Index, the 2015 Australian report, by senior analyst Thomas McCann.
Only 17 per cent of the businesses surveyed by 9000 consumers appeared in the ‘good’ category with 31 per cent finding themselves in the ‘poor’ category.
