#851: CRMC Keynote Speaker David Avrin on customer loyalty and being easy to do business with

Today, we’re going to talk about the powerful, and perhaps counterintuitive, idea that the greatest predictor of customer loyalty isn’t satisfaction or delight, but simply how easy you are to do business with. We’ll explore why reducing customer effort is a critical competitive advantage and how enterprise brands can identify and eliminate the points of friction that drive customers away. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome, David Avrin, CX Keynote Speaker and Author at Ridiculously Easy International, and keynote speaker at CRMC, taking place June 1-3 in Frisco Texas.


From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
