Ep84: Service Excellence

“Great customer experience is a combination of everything that your customer sees, hears smell, taste, touches, and then the biggie is how they emotionally connect with you, your people, your product and your services.”

“In order for us to experience anything, the only way we can do that is via our six senses, I could stand next to you at the edge of the ocean and explain to you for an hour what it's like to swim in the ocean.  Ultimately, the only way you know what it's gonna be like to swim in the ocean is to dive in and involve all your senses”
