Here are some of the main points they discussed:

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.
