How SAP Customer Experience Helps Businesses Increase Customer Engagement and Drive Sales

What is Customer Experience?

Customer Experience (CX) is the overall impression a customer gains from interactions with a company throughout their customer journey: before, during, and after purchasing products or services. This includes all touchpoints such as the website, physical store, customer service, marketing, support, and after-sales care.
CX is a critical element of business strategy. A positive experience not only increases customer loyalty but also enhances satisfaction, which in turn drives repeat purchases and positive referrals.

Examples of B2C Business Interactions with Customers:

- An online store sends marketing messages no more than once a month, offering relevant promotions or discounts, avoiding notification overload and spam.
- Communication with an insurance agent is seamless, avoiding redundant explanations of previously discussed issues.
- A furniture installer adheres to contract deadlines and regularly updates customers on the order status.
- A mobile website is user-friendly, allowing customers to quickly find information and make purchases with one click.
- A restaurant remembers customer preferences and offers favorite dishes for their family.

Similarly, B2B cases involve interactions through interpersonal communication (Contact-to-Contact) or integrated systems. For the business, these interactions translate into metrics such as Visit Frequency, Conversion Rate, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Gross Retention Rate, Customer Lifetime Value, Qualified Leads, Email Click-to-Open Ratio, Average Search Position, Customer Satisfaction, Net Promoter Score, Shopping Cart Sessions, Average Selling Price, and Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate.

The Importance of Customer Experience in Modern Business

Today’s consumers have a vast choice of providers, making CX one of the key factors in a business’s success. Companies that place customers at the center of their strategy can retain existing clients and attract new ones.
This is where SAP Customer Experience (CX) comes in—a comprehensive solution that helps businesses create memorable customer interactions and optimize business processes, providing constant control of key indicators and timely adjustments.
