About Eric Sims

Meet Eric Sims, affectionately known as "The CX Cowboy." With a quarter century of trailblazing through the wild frontiers of CX design and execution, Eric's not just your average rodeo rider. He's the one you call when you need to wrangle unruly customer experiences into tip-top shape, ensuring every customer's journey is smoother than a sunset.

From the bustling streets of start-up towns to those sprawling corporate ranches, Eric's lassoed wisdom from a myriad of industries like Technology/SaaS, Retail/e-commerce, financial institutions, legal firms, the service industry, and more. There ain't a CX challenge he hasn't faced, nor a business industry frontier he hasn't roamed.

At the heart of Eric’s approach are the three T’s: Talent, Techniques, and Technology. Like a true cowboy relying on his trusty steed, a well-worn hat, and the guiding stars, Eric knows that the right mix of skilled folks, proven strategies, and cutting-edge tools are what make the difference between a thriving business and a ghost town.
