What is Customer Service vs. Customer Experience? Customer service is typically post-sale reactive assistance to customers who have a question or complaint.
Customer experience includes customer service as well as pre-sale assistance by marketing and sales and others, customer success, and many aspects of the customer journey that are not direct interactions with the seller.
Ideally, customers would need customer service only when there is a change in the customer’s life situation, such as location, name, weather effects, etc. To achieve this, the seller must be fully aligned to customers’ expectations.
