A Partner for Success:

Confirmit has continued building on its reputation as a trusted partner to businesses committed to using customer experience initiatives to drive wider business success. It has aligned its global consulting team under the leadership of the recently promoted Chris Brown, VP, Global CX Consulting, adding new CX consultants in the UK, US and Australia. The team is dedicated to using their vast experience to work as a close partner with clients, proving clear guidance and best practices to avoid common pitfalls in the CX journey.

“Many B2B organisations overuse customer loyalty surveys, often relying on a small number of data points or a few of their most vocal customers’ opinions to create a strategy,” said Lisa Nakano, Service Director, Customer Engagement Strategies, SiriusDecisions. “Although these relationship surveys are valuable for understanding the loyalty of a customer base, they should not be the only component of a customer insights programme. It is vital that businesses integrate and map business data from multiple sources, using surveys to fill in the gaps where only the Voice of the Customer can provide the insight required to make smart, customer-focused decisions.”

Events, Awards and Recognition

Confirmit hosted a range of successful events around the world this year, including a global roadshow in NYC, London and Sydney focused on using insight to drive business success. Hundreds of people attended the events titled “Evolution or Revolution: The Road to Rock Stardom” to hear from industry leaders, analysts, and Confirmit experts. The roadshow was part of Confirmit’s commitment to be a partner and enabler of insight-driven success.

Confirmit continues to be recognised as an industry leader through the following achievements, and sets the tone and standard for success through recognition of its customers and executives:
