What is Client Experience (CX)?

  • It ensures great post-sale service from “Onboarding through to Renewal” from “start to finish” for a Coevolve client
  • It seeks to add or measure value at each key stage of the client journey with Coevolve
  • Effectively, CX is the “conduit” between Coevolve’s internal functions and the Client’s overall experience of our Services
  • In essence: it is great change management in the broadest sense
  • It is crucial for the Client and for Coevolve to continue to grow
  • The CX function works closely with the Sales and Finance team and manages all Client administration to allow Coevolve Sales resources to focus more on New Logo Sales and therefore generating new revenue.
