Something that we stress on this show is that customer experience matters. Scott is so focused on outcomes and driving real impact because when you’re dealing with people’s health, you can’t afford to get it wrong. For Scott, a good customer experience isn’t just an NPS score or a customer satisfaction number, it’s a healthy patient.

3 Takeaways:

• It's important to remember that the customer is an actual person and not just a piece of data.
• Great CX leaders really care about their customers, and that relationship begins early in their careers.
• When you embrace your customer, you represent their interests, and you aren’t content to simply stick a bandaid or a happy face on their pain points.

Key Quotes:

• “The voice of the customer is really important. How you pull the voice of the customer from your frontline people that are talking to members every single day - those insights - all the way through your product and your technology, that then starts to really shape your overall experience.”
• “We follow a very disciplined operational excellence plan. We have quality assurance coaches that listen to the calls and we look for common themes out of those calls."
• "Embrace the customer, embrace your teammates. If you take care of your people, they will take care of your customers."
