The podcast series to put the power of success in your hands, and help you expose the myths, master the methods, conquer the challenges, and enjoy the benefits of having happy, loyal, and supportive customers, by getting customer experience right!

Customer experience has become one of the most talked-about, but high-risk and reluctant areas of business investment.  Everyone seems to agree it’s important, but find it hard to justify why it’s important, why it should be improved, how much should be spent on it, and even, on what it should be spent!

011 How to Lose Customers - without really trying!

Aug 31, 2022

You can’t help noticing today that some organisations seem to have “stopped bothering about customers”.  Perhaps it’s an indication that some in our “throw-away society” now consider that an existing customer is no more than a passing encounter that can be simply cast aside, and easily replaced with a new one.

It’s how a business can out-perform its competition, and how a public service can build incredible public support.
