Abstract
Abstract In this study, online sentiment (OS) was used to explore customer experience (CX) for the telecommunications industry. There is no agreed standard for CX measurement with many challenges in metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS). The study explored the CX of the UK’s four biggest consumer-facing telecommunications companies by isolating CX from brand perception sentiment, tracking sentiment along the customer journey and observing CX across platforms. The findings show that CX sentiment can be isolated from brand perception and that customer satisfaction levels change along the customer journey. In addition, CX sentiment also differs between service channels.

Services Marketing Quarterly is directed at academicians and practitioners who are involved in the development and application of services marketing concepts to the wide spectrum of industries that constitute the service sector of economies.

Areas of emphasis include: Service characteristics changes. Servicescape impacts. Service delivery impacts. Services impact on organizational image. Digital service environments and impacts. Evolution of services over time and by industry. Contributions are encouraged which include analysis of existing practice, methods and programs; application of new ideas and methods; and research on various aspects of services marketing.
