Stop Looking at Competitors. Start Listening to Your Customers.
Turn customer insight into competitive advantage
When you step into a new CX role, the pressure is real: show results fast, get internal buy-in, and prove that customer experience isn’t just a brand initiative – it’s a performance driver.
It’s tempting to obsess over your competitors. What they’re doing and what you need to copy or emulate?
But as Becki Arthur, Global Director of Guest Experience at Dorchester Collection, says:
“Stop looking at your competitors. Start looking at your customers.”
Dorchester Collection builds guest experiences around what customers actually value – not what others are doing. They use daily feedback from loyal guests and frontline teams to spot trends, uncover gaps, and improve what matters most.
“We learn from the people that use us all the time. What do they want? What do they need? Then we take them on that journey… and they feel more part of the brand.”
That mindset shift – from outside-in benchmarking to inside-out listening – builds trust, drives change, and leads to results you can prove.
