Switching gears on the vodcast. This week we talk to a ‘Customer Experience Transformist’. I caught up with Bruce Temkin back in early August in NYC for an interview. Bruce is a thought leader in CX and a pioneer in researching the role customer experience plays in creating leading brands.

Here is a rundown of the topics we discuss:

- Who is Bruce Temkin and what is a CX Transformist?

- Why is customer experience so vital?

- The correlation between CX scores and stock price.

- What are the Six Laws of Customer Experience and which is the most important?

- What are the important things you need to remember on how to motivate employees?

- Why a systematic approach to CX is critical?

Lagniappe defined: A marketing lagniappe, i.e. purple goldfish, is any time a business goes above and beyond to provide a ‘little something extra’. It’s that unexpected surprise that’s thrown in for good measure.

Where is the lagniappe in your marketing? What’s Your Purple Goldfish?
