My favorite quote from Eric? “If you’re not using CX as your growth engine, what are you doing???”

Some of the key lessons for this episode of The Delighted Customers Podcast (link in comments below):

  1. ‘CX and Profit’: Good customer experience merges business benefits with customer satisfaction.
  2. ‘Interaction ROI’: Show return on investment in CX by linking experience improvements to CX Suite imperatives such as enhancing acquisition, retention, customer lifetime value, and lowering service costs.
  3. ‘Digital Impact’: Enhance digital CX to increase conversion rates and decrease abandonment, demonstrating clear benefits. 4.
  4. ‘Relationship Building’: Build strong relationships by learning about colleagues’ business areas and contributing to shared goals.

And lots more gems.
