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."

In This Episode We Discuss:
a) How you may be doing too much customer service
b) How being inspired by a high profile keynote speaker talking about over-the-top customer service might be the worst thing to happen to your Customer Experience initiative
c)  How public policy can have unintended consequences, negatively impacting your ability to deliver great CX to all of your customers, and what you can do about it.
d) How understanding the distinction between “service” and “hospitality” can mean the difference between getting customer experience right, and driving your customers to the competition.
e)  Lots lots more….
