A Note From Shep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The state of customer service and customer experience is changing<\/strong><\/em>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers no longer compare their experience to your competitors. They compare their experience with every other company they’ve dealt with, regardless of the industry. Delivering great customer service has never been more important as the expectation has never been higher. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a customer experience expert with over 30 years in the field, I can confidently say that the world of customer service and customer experience has changed drastically since I first started. When I began my career, customer service was seen as a necessary, but often overlooked, aspect of a business. Fast forward to today, and the importance of providing an exceptional customer experience is now widely recognized as the key difference between good and great organizations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with over 1200 different organizations, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small and medium-sized businesses, to help improve their customer service experience. This work has given me the insights and expertise to write 8 books on the subjects of customer service and customer experience. While the methods might change over time, the overall goal remains the same, that the customer comes back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am excited to see how the importance of customer experience is only continuing to grow and evolve in the larger business world. At the end of the day, delivering an amazing experience for your customers (and employees)<\/em> should be THE top priority for any organization looking to grow in the years to come.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
