Read transcript

Video: The Australia Post logo sits at the top of a red screen. A brunette woman sits under the text, "eCommerce Jargon Busters: CX." She waggles her head, then rolls her eyes upwards.

Audio: Woman: CX is when you're texting at night and you think to yourself, "Do you want to see ex?" or, "Don't you want to see ex?"

Video: The woman reads from a card that has an Australia Post logo on the back. Later, the text she's reading is typed onto a red background.

Audio: Woman: The customer experience, or CX, is all the interactions a customer has with your business, from your website to your store. Every interaction is an opportunity to create a positive experience for the customer.

Video: The woman gestures with her hand and nods.

Audio: Woman: Customer experience is super important, especially for a business like mine.

Video: Before a red background a microphone hovers over a stool. An Australia Post card lies on the stool. Text reads, “eCommerce Jargon Busters. [Jah-gawn bust-uhz] noun + plural noun.”

The Australia Post logo appears just above the stool.
