In the early days of my career, I thought the customer was always right. The idea that one should fire a customer sometimes would have sounded like madness to me.

Although most companies will claim that “your call is important” to them, bad planning and lack of resources create a situation where long waiting times become the norm. A norm turning most customers to look elsewhere to meet their needs. Don’t be the norm. It doesn’t always feel like my call is important Most of us have heard the phrase “your call is important to us” many times.

This is how anyone delivers a better experience, regardless of whether it’s during the sales process or any other interaction the customer has with people in a company.

We recently polled the Customer Success industry asking about the top challenges they are facing. The number one answer? Scale. Over the years, we’ve found that most companies are very oriented around a high-touch customer engagement model.

One of my sisters is a flight attendant. Yesterday we talked about her enforcing mask requirements on her flights. With the CDC’s recommendation, I knew that vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks outdoors or indoors, but we still should cover up on planes, trains, and busses, which would put her in a challenging position. We happened to be having the mask conversation as my sister was walking down the jetway for a flight from Dallas to Des Moines.
