Customer Experience Tips from Guy Kawasaki


What we think, what we plan, and what we believe are all important. But ultimately, customer experience comes down to what we do.

Believing in customer service is good. But delivering exceptional customer experiences is best.

As customer service professionals we have to remember that an exceptional customer experience is creating memorable customer service moments that customers love.

Ultimately, exceptional service happens when the needs of our customers become more important than the needs of individual performing the service. It’s that moment where what the customer wants is the focus, not the metric involved in the act of service.
