Both software and <a href=\"https:\/\/vendorland.com\/top\/ecommerce-development\/companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e-commerce companies<\/a> must work to build loyalty and trust even before prospects become customers. Otherwise, you risk customers churning out for something \u201ceasier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sentiment-analysis.png\" alt=\"Pie chart for customer experience and customer sentiment\" class=\"wp-image-13353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sentiment-analysis.png 700w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sentiment-analysis-300x241.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Accomplishing this requires special attention from the first brand impression all the way through purchase and usage. A customer experience specialist does just that. They assume responsibility for reading the market and connecting with customers through a positive experience with your online brand, start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer Support vs. Customer Experience Manager Responsibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/state-of-cx-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CX survey<\/a> ran across 100+ digital companies, the multiple departments within a company would have customer experience-related activities at hand. And support is in the lead, meaning most companies still rely on them to move the needle for CX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, a surge of <a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/voice-of-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">VoC (voice of customers)<\/a> teams can be seen on the horizon. Especially in B2C companies, the strategy and ownership of customer experience clearly have a different value than support and operations. Hence 56% of the companies have established independent CX teams to tackle that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2024\" height=\"1146\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-31-at-09.43.00.png\" alt=\"CX managers vs. Customer Support - who is taking the lead\" class=\"wp-image-11986\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What exactly are the CX manager\u2019s responsibilities?
