A customer experience (CX) is defined by interactions between a customer and an organization throughout their business relationship. Interaction can include awareness, comparison, purchase, service, and advocacy.

Customers will always have an experience - Good, Bad, or Indifferent.

If you focus on the Pain areas of the customers then resolving those challenges will automatically deliver the experience customers are expecting.

There are 4 main buckets where customers have pain or challenges:

1. Financial Pain Points: Your prospects are spending too much money on their current provider/solution/products and want to reduce their spend
2. Productivity Pain Points: Your prospects are wasting too much time using their current provider/solution/products or want to use their time more efficiently
3. Process Pain Points: Your prospects want to improve internal processes, such as assigning leads to sales reps or nurturing lower-priority leads
4. Support Pain Points: Your prospects aren’t receiving the support they need at critical stages of the customer journey or sales process

There are 3 E's of customer experience:

• Effectiveness: Customers get value from the experience
• Ease: Customers get value without difficulty.
• Emotion: Customers feel good about the experience.

Disruptive startups are choosing one activity to do for the customer much better instead of trying to substitute all the activities that are being done by the established company for themselves.
