Ten years ago, it wouldn’t have been uncommon to see people switch off merely at the sound of ‘customer experience’ in conversation. Once considered an ephemeral buzzword that would fade away, these same organizations now boast of their CX-first culture that puts customer experience at the forefront of everything they do.

How did you meet Steven Sambliss? He reached out to me on LinkedIn about two years ago. He was researching a virtual training concept and looking for funding. The original concept was a year or two early, then the pandemic hit. Now he’s proven the great potential of the 1Habit concept, and he’s really running with it. It’s both an editorial slant and a publishing production system.
