As Randi Busse tells us in this podcast, customer service has evolved into a business strategy that helps companies differentiate themselves from their competition, sustain profitability and thrive in any type of economy, especially during recessionary times. Just what we need to hear in these times of rapid change. I invite you to listen in, learn a lot and let me hear from you!

Customer experience—often the only competitive advantage a business has

Her intention was to help small and mid-sized companies take better care of their customers by offering customer experience training to their employees. Her programs help employees become more engaged and committed, thus inspiring them to think and act like owners of their company.
