Beyond business strategies, you'll hear inspiring life lessons and personal triumphs, transforming organizations by capturing customer hearts and wallets. This approach results in a win-win-win: delighted customers, empowered employees, and a thriving business.
Most companies view their customer service team as a cost to reduce. Lisa Oswald at TravelZoo says that is precisely the wrong instinct. When you see the people who communicate with customers all day as an expense, you stop understanding why customers are dissatisfied, continue doing what frustrates them, and lose their business without ever realizing the real reason. By the time it appears in your data, the customer is already gon...

Most companies are rushing to deploy AI faster than their competitors. Alvin Stokes of Princess Cruises says that is exactly the wrong instinct. Speed without emotional intelligence does not create better guest experiences. It creates tools your frontline team will not use, prototypes your customers will not trust, and revenue you will not recover. Alvin has spent two years inside one of the most guest-focused industri...
Most leaders think they are delivering a great customer experience. Pierre Charchaflian of IBM says they are delivering yesterday's version. The new standard is not fixing problems when customers report them. It is knowing about the problem before the customer does, and solving it before they have to ask. That shift, from reactive to anticipatory, is what separates the brands that customers stay loyal to from those they leave witho...
Your contact center agents are not the only people responsible for your customer experience. Every person in your company who touches a product, a process, or a decision is shaping how your customer feels about your brand, whether they realize it or not. Chris Morrissey, General Manager of Customer Experience at Zoom, calls this horizontal CX, and it starts with one question every leader should be asking every employee...
Most loyalty programs are designed around rewards: points and discounts that give customers a reason to return. That design produces a specific problem. When the incentive expires or another brand matches it, the customer accepts the offer and does not return.
The companies that retain customers year over year treat loyalty as a relationship, not a transaction. Most companies have not made that shift yet.

Most business leaders track traditional metrics such as NPS, Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), and average response time. They are, however, overlooking the single factor that reliably predicts customer return, referrals, increased spending, and the willingness to forgive a mistake: emotion. This episode focuses on proving the cost of this emotion gap and detailing the actions leaders must take now to achieve lasting succe...
Many leaders discover that an employee was on the verge of burnout only after the customer already felt it. By the time a resignation letter arrives or a negative review goes public, it has already cost you the revenue and the brand reputation you spent years building. The question is whether you can read the warning signs before that moment happens.
This show is about Stacy Sherman's reflection on h...
Imagine if you could detect the early signs of burnout while there is still time to help a frontline employee, protect the customer experience, and avoid preventable attrition. This is not theoretical. Leaders can now monitor operational signals across the systems employees use every day, respond in real time, reduce compounding stress, and support employee wellbeing in ways that improve customer experience.

Did you know that AI is now reading your customer reviews, your public responses, and the sentiment around your brand to help buyers decide whether to trust your business? That means you need to pay attention to what customers are saying publicly and how your company responds, because those signals are shaping reputation, buying decisions, and future revenue before a prospect ever contacts you.
In this sol...
Why do customers trust a 4.5 star rating more than a perfect 5? What is AI actually using to decide which businesses to recommend, and is your company showing up in those answers?
Both questions come down to your reviews and what your business does when there is negative feedback. Most leaders ask how to delete bad customer reviews. They cannot. What they can do is respond within 24 hours, fix the root cau...

Here is what most leaders get wrong: they assume that scientists, data-driven professionals, and analytical thinkers make decisions based purely on logic. The research says otherwise. Even in the most technical industri...

Stacy Sherman shares her expert perspective on executive escalations through a Doing CX Right® lens. In this episode of Doing CX Ri...
Many leaders still believe high customer satisfaction scores mean the experience is working. That belief creates a costly blind spot: customers say they're satisfied and then quietly leave, taking revenue, renewals, and referrals with them.
In this solo episode of Doing CX Right®, Stacy Sherman explores why Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) became the standard, from the University of Michigan's American Custome...
As companies adopt AI to increase efficiency, they often implement technology before fully understanding their business processes. That blind spot creates tension between IT and customer-facing teams, weakens service quality, and limits profitable growth.
