How did you do? Depending on your responses, here are some things to think about.

  • If you scored an 8-10, you’re using your systems to improve your customers’ experience as they work with you.
  • If you scored a 5-7, there may be some system features you can use to improve your company’s competitive positioning and your customers’ experience.
  • If you scored less than 5, it’s time to look at new capabilities you can bring to your company to help your staff be more reachable, professional and customer-focused.
