PROCESS

How customer experience services come to life

Certain projects may not require each of the stages below. The necessity of each stage is always discussed at the “first touches” – calls and e-mails.
1. First touch

The goal is to understand what business goal you are trying to achieve and what methods will help do this with the best value, on time, and within budget. At this stage, we offer complimentary service design consultancy to bring a fresh perspective to your challenges.

Sometimes, the outcome is completely unexpected – you might uncover something entirely new. Whether it leads to our CX services or not, we help you see the way forward.

Time to deliver:On-demand
2. Research

At this stage, we conduct CX research to gather essential data and insights about customer experience, behavior, expectations, decision triggers, and other factors that help us achieve our goals.

As a customer experience agency specializing in banking and financial products, we interpret collected data through the lens of industry standards, market insights, and the language of finance. This allows us to reveal underlying opportunities and design solutions that match your business with customers’ needs.

3. Design

Based on the research results, we work side by side with your company representatives to shape solutions and prototype future changes.

Since we specialize in financial services design, we make sure they fit the industry’s realities, regulations, and customer expectations.

Then, we test solutions viability and technical feasibility to make sure they deliver real value.

Time to deliver:On-demand
4. Validation

Before making final decisions, we rely on quantitative and qualitative testing to check if the solution meets customer expectations and project goals.

As part of our customer experience services, we run structured research and real-world tests to see what works, what doesn’t, and what needs adjustment.

Time to deliver:On-demand
5. Deployment

Best CX design companies don’t just walk away when the project is done – neither do we. Our team supports you through the deployment process and internal change management, staying involved to track progress and assess ROI based on key KPIs. Our goal is to make sure the work we’ve done delivers real impact long after implementation.

    FAQ

    Frequent questions about CX services

    How does your agency assess customer experience?

    Our agency assesses customer experience through a systematic evaluation of core CX metrics such as NPS, Customer Satisfaction Index, and Customer Effort Score.

    We go beyond numbers by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Customer interviews, behavioral analysis, and user journey mapping help uncover the “why” behind the scores. We also benchmark against industry leaders to provide context and identify areas for improvement.

    By analyzing feedback trends, pain points, and decision triggers, we deliver actionable insights that help businesses enhance customer satisfaction, reduce churn, and refine their product or service offerings.

    Why is CX strategy is important?

    A great customer experience sets the standard for an entire industry. When one company raises the bar, customers start expecting the same level of ease and satisfaction everywhere else. That’s where CX strategy design comes in – it helps businesses define how customers should interact with their brand and create a structured plan to make that happen.

    At our CX design agency, we don’t just focus on the front-end experience. We analyze what happens behind the scenes so your customer expeience strategy works in practice – higher NPS, lower churn, and stronger customer loyalty.

    What industries are applicable for service design?

    The Service Design methodology applies to any industry, covering B2C, B2B, and G2C services & products. While it’s relevant everywhere, we focus on banking, fintech, credit unions, lending, and asset management solutions. Our deep understanding of these sectors allows us to design services that go beyond surface-level fixes.

    What’s the difference between product design and CX design?

    Think of product design as creating a great tool and CX design as making sure people actually use it the right way.

    Product design focuses on the usability, functionality, and aesthetics of a specific product – whether it’s a banking app, a checkout system, or a loyalty program.

    CX design, on the other hand, looks at the entire journey around that product. What’s our competitive advantage and USPs?

    Both are important because a great product can still fail if the experience around it is frustrating. That’s why, alongside customer experience design services, we also offer product design services to help businesses get both right.

    What is the pricing for your customer experience services?

    We don’t offer vague numbers or pre-set packages. As a CX company, we believe pricing should be based on real project needs. After discussing your business goals and existing experience, we estimate the work and provide a clear budget breakdown.

    Small projects start at $5,000, with pricing scaling based on complexity. Want an estimate? Talk to us 🙂

    How to design a service blueprint?

    A service blueprint is a step-by-step map of how a service works – customer journey, frontstage and backstage analysis etc. It helps to reveal where things thrive or break down.

    At our service design agency, we build blueprints using:

    Ethnographic & contextual research – Observing how customers and employees interact in real-world settings
    CX strategy workshops – Defining the ideal experience and aligning teams
    Service blueprinting – Mapping every customer touchpoint and internal process
    Iterative prototyping & testing – Checking what works before committing to changes

    For industries like banking and financial services design, this process helps simplify complex customer journeys – like loan applications, credit approvals, or customer support escalation – so that businesses don’t just serve customers, but do it in a hassle-free way.

    How to design a service?

    It starts with the right questions:

    How do we increase profitability?
    How do we get a market advantage that’s difficult to copy?
    How do we make brand ambassadors out of customers?

    We rely on research, strategy, prototyping, and validation to design services that meet both customer needs and business goals. We map out the full experience, test it, and work with your team to make it a reality.

    How to design a customer service training program?

    A great customer experience isn’t just about processes – it’s about people. We build customer service training programs that:

    1. Use real customer data to focus on common pain points
    2. Train employees in handling different types of interactions – from onboarding to complaints
    3. Simulate real customer situations using role-playing and real-world scenarios
    4. Make customer service measurable by linking training to key business outcomes

    For financial services design, this could mean helping bank employees handle complex lending questions with confidence. It also involves ensuring compliance without making customer interactions feel rigid or frustrating. Another key area is improving how support teams communicate with high-value clients, making their experience more personalized.
