In my last post, we discussed the difference between interactions, engagement, and customer experience. Now, I’d like to dive deeper into customer experience and the role everyone in your organization plays in delivering that experience.

You are not promised lifetime employment, nor do you need to offer it to them. There is mutual agreement of cooperation on both sides created by the efforts of each. A business can and will dictate work rules and responsibilities.
