Pat Perdue's Customer Experience Podcast

Getting customer experience right – like really right so you don’t even know your experience has been entirely pre-thought out, planned, and rehearsed until it’s just right, is really difficult to do (If it was easy, more companies would be doing it).

This show looks at the companies, and individuals within those companies, who are getting customer experience right.  Not only do we celebrate the wins, but we go deep, get tactical, and uncover customer experience insights that you can apply to your company.  So give us a listen.  And if you like what you hear, subscribe. 

"What I love most about this show, and any interview I get to do on any of my shows, is the chance to let my guests feel free enough to brag for themselves. To say, 'Yeah, we actually rock the s*%$t out of that!'. That's when I know I'm delivering value - for them, and for my listeners."

October 24, 2016 Pat@patperdue.com Uncategorized 1804

Arleen King is Senior Vice President of Customer Experience at TELUS, and is the real deal when it comes to creating a customer centric culture.
Arleen supports more than 6,000 team members in Canada, and 2,800 team members internationally. Her teams go on to provide exceptional customer experience to TELUS’ 13.9 million customer connections – and along with their other brands Koodo, and Public Mobile, that adds up to making life better for 8.3 million wireless subscribers, and over 900,000 TELUS TV customers.
If you’re outside of Canada you might not be familiar with TELUS. You know how folks anywhere love to hate their phone company? TELUS customers totally don’t get that. Year after year, Telus ranks as Canada’s most loved telecommunications company, and once you meet Arleen, you’ll know why.
Thanks as always for listening to my conversation with the incredible, and incredibly nice, Arleen King.
