New Team Member Announcement, Create CX hires first CXO

Ben Segal joins Create CX as CXO. 

From being a CX leader of one brand to consultant for many, many brands, I am excited to share my recent promotion and publicly announce my joining Create CX as their new Chief Experience Officer (CXO). This new role allows me to have a broader impact, as I work across dozens of brands, helping them to elevate their customer experience. 

Since I started working with @leeor in January, it has been both challenging and rewarding. It’s been very energizing to be in a position where I can flex everything I’ve learned in order to help a broad spectrum of brands succeed.

There’s a lot I want to share about my experience so far, but for now, I will keep it short with one main takeaway. 

Time Management

Managing time effectively is crucial when working with multiple brands. In my previous role, my focus was on a single brand, single CX team, and managing up to a single group of leaders leading to a more concentrated approach. Realizing that value and productivity can be broken into 15 minute increments. Leeor opened me up to a new way of thinking, called the “laundry cycle”. When your clothes are in the drying cycle, you should be able to focus and finish a task. Then onto the next. So on and so on. 

Leeor’s favorite time management tip is to simply ‘keep the ball rolling’. By doing a little bit everyday, incrementally, you’ll be amazed where you end up. This opened my eyes to a new level of productivity but also (and maybe more important) unblocking trivial hurdles. Nothing seems too big or too small anymore, we have to keep the task moving.

At Create CX, we let the internal stakeholders truly focus on their day-to-day and we push the envelope forward for our brands while leveraging their existing internal processes.  We’re not here to reinvent the wheel, but to add value and find areas of opportunity.

Moving Forward

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be CXO at Create CX, under the guidance and direction of the Founder & CEO, Leeor Cohen. Together, we are committed to helping brands enhance their customer experiences and achieve remarkable results.

How Aircall Voice Drives to Meaningful Customer Experience

Teams who use traditional hard phone systems spend minutes every hour on call-related admin and manual work. You know the type. Not only is it a painful experience for customers, but it’s also a poor reflection on the brand at large and can cost you thousands if not millions of dollars in the long-term. 

Cutting out the admin and manual work allows customer service teams to focus on what they were hired to do: focus on providing better service and reaching more people.

The Most Flexible and Agile HelpDesk CRM for DTC or Marketplace Brands 

In today’s omnichannel, ever-changing media environment, the pressure is on for businesses to make meaningful customer connections. Fast service is one of the top three most valued customer service attributes, and poor customer service is your quickest path to alienating even your most loyal customers. Every interaction matters.

Ensuring your team is set up to deliver exceptional customer support while remaining efficient is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s an essential lever of successful business operations. Customer loyalty is earned, never guaranteed, and the standard for service is higher than ever. 

Technology like intelligent automation can enable customer service teams to work more efficiently and focus on the customers who need the most support. If your CRM partner is not allowing you to automate across all levels of support, it may be time to reconsider.
