Organizations struggle to connect customer behavior and journeys to business-critical KPIs, such as revenue, churn, cost to serve and more. Only 21% of respondents are very or extremely satisfied with their ability to quantify the impact of CX on business metrics. As a result, only 23% of under-performing CX teams had an increase in CX budget in 2020, compared to 50% of high performers. Those who struggle to quantify ROI are much less satisfied with their performance and the outcomes of their CX investments.

The survey found that data silos are still the primary barrier for effectively measuring and improving customer experiences. Cross-channel customer data is unified and fully accessible to drive CX initiatives in only 14% of enterprises. In addition, high-performing CX teams are 9.7 times more likely than under performers to connect behavioral data across three or more channels.
