Recommendations are essential, and so is customer loyalty. Today's guest of Crack the Customer Code, Fred Reichheld, knows that well. He is the creator of the Net Promoter System of management, founder of Bain & Company's Loyalty practice, and author of five books, including a New York Times bestseller – The Ultimate Question 2.0. He is a frequent speaker at major business forums, and his work on customer loyalty has been covered in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Financial Times, The Economist, and Businessweek. 

When Fred developed his Net Promoter System, he had no idea that it would end up being used by the majority of companies today. But times have changed, and so has CX, which is why he has had to make changes and updates to that system. He has a lot of intriguing things to say about the things he's been working on lately, so tune in to learn all about them.

"Is customer experience training a one time process or is it ongoing?"
Sounds like this one will have a pretty simple answer, right? As with all things in business, ongoing training is always beneficial. For customer experience (CX) training, this sometimes isn't as straightforward as other types of on-the-job training. We talk about CX and our goals, but we don't take the time to connect those with other departments, which can leave our CX programs feeling disjointed. 
In this week's episode, Jeannie dives into this seemingly easy question in more detail. She talks about how having a pervasive view of customer experience in your company culture creates the best environment for CX to thrive. Listen for actionable tips and suggestions that you can implement within your company to improve your customer experience (and employee experience), from training onward.
