Quotes:

“The way we show how member obsessed we are is by using a combination of quantitative and qualitative data to figure out where the opportunities are to improve our customers’ overall experience.”

“Get your customers excited to become your customers. Give them incentives to tell you what they love about their experience, what needs to be improved, and what they want to see in the future.”

“There are two things that are really important to customer experience. First is listening, because that’s where you learn what’s working. The second one is thanking your customers, never letting them forget how much you appreciate them.”

“As long as you are transparent with your customers and respond in very human ways, customers will feel good about you even when they are experiencing delays and other issues.”
