[Statistics]
30 Chatbot Statistics That Will Define Customer Experience in 2021 and Beyond [Link]

Okay, so I’m pretty sure no statistic is going to “define CX in 2021”, but this is a useful list of relevant statistics and sources from Shubham Rajpara at Acquire.

[Net Promoter]
Zero is a Special Net Promoter® Number [Link]

I’ve been saying for a while now that when someone gives you a zero in a Net Promoter Score® survey they are not just providing feedback, they are sending you a message.

If you choose to respond to that message you can turn people around dramatically. 

Anyone giving you a 0 and providing comments is unhappy but they are still very much engaged. 

If you close the loop properly you’ll turn their story from “Company X is so bad” to “You can believe how good Company X is.”

So, I ran the numbers to get a handle on just how important the 0 scorers were and found some very interesting results.

Most Tenuous Link To CX for a Buzzword

Goes too… drum roll please… 

NFTs: A New Asset Class Sheds Light on the Customer Experience

I’m not even going to link to this content as it’s a nonsensical post just grabbing at buzzwords.

A month ago I hadn’t even heard of a Non Fungible Token (NFT), now they’re revolutionising business as we know it.  

Runner up award: 

How Bitcoin Revolutionized Online Casinos

This piece of nano-metre (0.0000000393701 inch) thin content was posted on CX Magazine’s website. Again, no links.

Seems like CX Tribe’s goal of filtering out the junk has legs for a while yet. 😀
