This disconnect often occurs when companies don’t follow through on the promises they make to their clients. How can you deliver a seamless customer experience at every stage of the journey?

Customer experience driver Damian Kernahan says it’s not enough to simply make a promise to a customer. You have to identify and exceed customer expectations to optimize and improve their journey.
