On this episode, we discuss the importance of reducing customer effort — and the steps brands can take to design and deliver seamless customer experiences.
Today, customers demand speed and efficiency. It is up to brands to rise to that challenge. Research from HubSpot indicates that 9 out of 10 customers consider an immediate response from customer service to be “essential” or “very important”, with 6 out of 10 defining “immediate” as a response in under 10 minutes.
Through real-world examples and actionable insights, our expert guests share how to identify potential areas of improvement and refine CX processes to exceed expectations, eliminate friction and build lasting loyalty.
Listen for the compelling perspectives of David Avrin, customer experience speaker, consultant and author of Ridiculously Easy to Do Business With, and Jim Mitchell, vice president of customer experience and digital innovation at TELUS International.

On this episode, we discuss a longstanding focus for customer experience (CX) leaders — loyalty — and the role of CX delivery in creating customer advocates and word of mouth.
According to Nielsen, 88% of consumers trust recommendations from friends and family over all other forms of advertising. Despite the evidence that word of mouth, facilitated through exceptional customer experiences, remains a pivotal factor in shaping business outcomes, many businesses do not have a defined word of mouth strategy.
Our expert guests share their perspectives on how to transform satisfied customers into loyal advocates. Along the way, they discuss brand ‘superfans’ and how to introduce unexpected moments along the customer journey — called ‘talk triggers’ — to prompt proactive word of mouth.
Listen for the compelling insights of Jay Baer, author of Talk Triggers: The Complete Guide to Creating Customers with Word-of-Mouth; Brittany Hodak, author of Creating Superfans: How To Turn Your Customers Into Lifelong Advocates; and Rajiv Dhand, regional vice president for Asia Pacific and Africa at TELUS International.
