Takeaways:

• CX Myth: “surprising and delighting customers is a sustainable strategy”.
• Most customers will choose a consistent customer experience over being surprised and delighted.
• EX and CX are linked. A good employee experience sets the groundwork for a good customer experience, a happier employee results in a happier customer.
• Your values are what will drive your employees to do good work. Identify your values and build on them.
• 99% of customers don’t strongly love buying from most brands. There are millions of brands that customers are indifferent to or outright dislike.
• One of the most important skills you can have when developing a CX framework is empathy.
• While empathy tends to be an innate skill for most people, customer journey maps are a valuable tool to teach an increased sense of empathy in employees.
