The 8 Laws of Customer-Focused Leadership​

New Rules for building a business around today's customer

In a rapidly changing world filled with uncertainties, one thing remains crystal clear: customers are increasingly fickle and no longer care about loyalty to any particular company. In addition, many well-intentioned companies are falling short of customer expectations, despite every organization’s potential for excellence. The truth is customer experience is not what it used to be. New technologies, values, generational expectations, economic instability, – and the rapid pace of change all must be considered as you forge ahead. How do you put the customer first in the face of all these emerging trends?

Using cutting-edge research and interviewing top leaders across industries, customer experience futurist Blake Morgan has pulled together eight new laws that the best companies follow in terms of building and maintaining a focus on the customer. Customer experience is a decision leaders must make every day, and this book shows you how:

Learn the laws, see how the best companies apply them, and build them into your organization to become a transformational customer experience leader!

10 Guiding Principles for Winning Tomorrow's Business

Tomorrow’s customers will insist on experiences that make their lives significantly easier and better. Companies will win their business not by just proclaiming that customer experience is a priority but by embedding a customer focus into every aspect of their operations. They’ll  understand how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and analytics are changing the game and craft a strategy to integrate them into their products and processes. The Customer of the Future explains how today’s customers are already demanding frictionless, personalized, on-demand experiences from their products and services, and companies that don’t adapt to these new expectations won’t last. This book prepares your organization for these increas­ing demands.

More Is More

How the Best Companies Work Harder and Go Farther to Create Knock-Your-Socks-Off Customer Experiences

The phrase “less is more” may be true about many things, but it’s not true when it comes to customer experience. Companies that want to stay relevant must apply more energy, focus, and resources to creating knock-your-socks-off customer experiences than they ever did before. The companies that embrace a “more is more” philosophy work harder and go further to ensure that their customers have a positive experience. Companies that understand the importance of a relationship―even one individual relationship―are willing to go to any length to ensure that they continue to nurture that relationship. They do this through customer-focused strategies and leadership, via operations, policies, and procedures that consider how the customer will fare in every scenario. More Is More provides practical advice for building or improving customer experience that you can apply immediately at your own organization
