In this episode, Richard Owen sits down with Don Peppers, a global authority on marketing and business competition, to discuss the intricacies of customer behavior, customer-centric companies, and the evolving landscape of customer experience (CX). Don, renowned in the world of CRM for co-authoring the landmark book "The One to One Future," shares his invaluable insights on the challenges and opportunities facing CX professionals today. Here are some of the main points they discussed:
- The challenge of communicating the importance of customer behavior to business leaders lies in the measurement of future customer value and the shift from short-term thinking to long-term value creation. In that context, Don and Richard discuss the financial concept of customer lifetime value and how CX and sales leaders should align with their CFO on how to measure it. , the shift from tangible to intangible assets, and the need for businesses to align with customer expectations.
- The impact of both the shift from tangible to intangible assets (“moving from atoms to bits”), and of technology on product customization and customer satisfaction is driving businesses to focus on individual customer interactions, leading to a shift in marketing and sales processes.
- The need for businesses to align with customer expectations and create lifetime customers is driving a shift in the way products are marketed and sold, emphasizing the importance of customer delight and long-term value creation. Customer expectations about things like speed of delivery are constantly rising, so some things that used to cause customer delight have become business basics.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
