Customer experience is a term that defines all customer's interactions with a brand. Those interactions can range from the first ex. when the customer saw the brand Facebook ad, all the way to unboxing and customer support experience. Google's researches revealed stunning results that an average customer touchpoint range is between 50 - 300 prior to purchase.
To achieve quality customer experience is very challenging. Even a small number of mistakes can cause your customer to walk away and go to your competitors, according to Acquia (Closing the CX gap: Customer experience trends report 2019)

At first, you will have trouble finding the right CX agency, and it will take time. But there are some questions that you can think about that will help you choose the right agency.
It is good to first go through an agency's case studies and previous work. In that way, you will determine the agency's major projects and how professional they are in their work.
Examine the past experiences of the agency
It is good to first go through an agency's case studies and previous work. In that way, you will be able to determine the agency's major projects and how professional they are in their work.
How many projects did the agency complete?
Make sure that the experiences are live projects and not merely concepts.
Are their previous works following the same pattern or every project is different?
It is good to choose a company that takes a unique approach to every project.
What is their work quality?
Quality of work is highly essential. Examine what challenges the agency has faced and how they have solved it. Look at the growth rate after implementing changes.
We will soon release an in-depth guide on how to spot an excellent customer experience consultancy work, so please subscribe to our newsletter on the blog list page.
Does the agency case study include essential details?
From the case study, you should understand:
Did they describe the actual process and end goals in case studies?
If they can describe a process correctly, that means they have full knowledge of their previous work and take their job seriously. It shows that they connected with their project from the start. The customer experience consultancy team needs to know all about the process of their project with facts and stats.
It is always good to ask the agency to provide concrete examples of what they did correctly to reach the end goal. The end goal, for example, can be conversion, engagement, or retention rate improvement.
What is the consultancy's best work and why?
How they react to criticisms and feedback is also essential.
Communication is a clear way to see if the company you are working with will perform well or not. The agency should present determination and enthusiasm to work with you.
Enthusiasm can also be viewed via intro emails or by interviewing the agency and question their thoughts about the project.
Ask them about how frequently would you communicate; frequent communication is mandatory and crucial to project success. After the project start, you should always know what task is the agency working on in the previous day, today, and tomorrow.
It is a good sign if a company wants to have a detailed understanding of your projects. Comprehensive questions and research indicate interest, and the company wants to have a full understanding of the project's goals before they start.
For a project's success, a team's project managing skills determine how well they can manage it.
Finding out how the consultancy will deliver results can be challenging, but there are a few tricks. See how they communicate often and did they send the proposal on time. The proposal is the first indicator of their management skills and motivation.
If you know someone who has already worked for the company, then you can gather some evidence and ask around how they worked. You can ask from a shared connection or a recent client. Ask them if they would like to work with that company again.
The agency should present its team and the project manager should be responsible for deliverables, communication, and end quality. The CX agency team can be distributed (remote) or located in one office. Each case has its advantages.
Before hiring, you should talk to an agency's lead project manager and not just to a salesperson during the customer experience agency lookup.
If an agency specializes in your niche, then it should deliver better conversion metrics than the general customer experience consultancy. You should always look at whether the agency has a dedicated presentation page or blog post on your project's subject. Content on their website will indicate their strategic direction and motivation.
Inclusiveness, the quality of covering, or dealing with a required range of subjects or areas is also essential.
If an agency did business with large corporations, it does not mean that said agency performs on a quality level. We saw so many examples when the agency did minor work and added a corporation as their clients. Also, similar cases include creating a broader solution for a corporate client but did not deliver high-quality customer experience service.
Do not be impressed with their clients; look at their previous work, web page, and blog content.
Quality assurance management plays a crucial role in CX service by ensuring that finished released products that the consumer is using meet the defined specifications. The agency should plan, direct, and coordinate quality assurance programs so your final project will reach the end customer expectations.
Price is always one of the most critical factors in deciding whom to hire. An old saying goes, "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things." Three factors should come into consideration:
1. hourly price
Either you would like a fixed price estimate, or if you are hiring a consultancy on a part-time/full-time basis, the assessment should include how many hours will be required for a finished project.
2. how many hours will the consultancy invest in your project
For example, a fixed price estimate without guaranteed hours invested can mean that the consultancy will not spend many hours into the most crucial part of the project - perfecting details.
3. how fast are the agency experts solving problems
Of course, hourly price does not mean a lot. For example, an experienced team can finish the design task within 200 hours with excellent results at a costly rate of $100 US. The final cost would equal to $20,000.
A medium-level team can maybe allocate 400 hours while charging around $60 US per hour and deliver low/medium quality results. The final cost would equal to $24,000.
Workshop
In the CX field, a remote or physical initial workshop is a great way to start the project because it offers the consultancy team the possibility to understand your challenges better. We found that even a five-day workshop (2 hours per day) helps immensely, speeds up the onboarding, and improves the quality of finished service.

Choosing a strategic partner is never easy. We compiled a list of key points that you as a client should consider for UX and CX design in our article How to choose the right CX UX agency.
Every CX consultancy price is different from the other. Various clients have various requirements who want a unique solution every time. Companies charge accordingly; either they have a fixed rate or hourly charge. Hourly rate is usually between 40 - 200 USD, depending on the agency.
The usual cost range of the medium-sized project is around 10,000-30,000 USD for a quality solution. There might be some additional deliverables which could come at extra cost.
There are a few necessary steps for the majority of the CX projects.
The possible steps are:
