Respect Your Customers with a United “You Know Me” Experience

In my new Daily Dose video series, I explore the topics that chief customer officers must grapple with on a daily basis. Join me as I discuss what I’ve learned over the course of my 35-year career, so that you can more effectively do the work that needs to be done.

Today’s video is an excerpt from my online course, inspired by my book, Would You Do That To Your Mother? Click here to learn more about the course and enroll. 

The following is a lightly edited transcript of the video.


Why is delivering a one company and united “you know me” experience across our organization, a sign of respect and appreciation that we must show our customers? And yet, some companies are still asking their customer to re-tell their story to each person or with every interaction.

PriceWaterhouseCoopers says that by 2020, the demand for that one-company, omni-channel experience will be amplified by the need for near-perfect execution for our customers.

The people and the companies—who know who we are, who record our behaviors and our purchases—are those who we gravitate to, are those who we want to give our business to.

With Netflix, Amazon, and even banks like First Direct, keeping our data organized to know us and deliver that relevant we know you experience. Every company needs to build up that same capacity for caring, by knowing and delivering those relevant and personalized experiences.
