In this episode, host Eric Dickmann interviews Stacy Sherman about Customer Experience (CX) design. Stacy’s journey with CX began in 2013 when, after a reorganization at Verizon, her Digital Marketing role expanded to increase customer satisfaction and brand advocacy. She helped introduce customer and employee feedback in website design, product development, market messaging, and related decisions to enable the brand to exceed customer expectations. 

As she gained expertise in CX best practices, Stacy fell in love with what she now calls the “Heart and Science of CX,” which is the ability to combine business expertise with a calling to provide authentic experiences for customers and employees. She is dedicated to humanizing business so that the customer relationship is viewed as a partnership and that people stay brand loyal based on real trust and connection.
