Zsolt Pozvai, Global СЕО of DEVELOR INTERNATIONAL, marked key conclusions made from the received results, which service providers must remember.

The results received in Ukraine and in Central and Eastern European countries appeared to be almost the same. Most business leaders emphasize the importance of CX for their business and, а 80% respondents even told about plans of their companies to become a CX leader in their areas! The biggest problems in implementation of these plans were named:

• corporate culture and employee engagement into companies strategy and client orientation ideology;
• different touch points, channels and departments are not aligned;
• back office is not responsible for ensuring CX;
• conflict of interests.

According to the results of the research the most internal ready business sector is petrol station network in Ukraine, which received 79% and telecommunication companies (89%) in Central and Eastern Europe. One of the key conclusions made during the International Customer Experience Research is the importance of highly developed system of collection and handling complains.
