Recovering from a Bad Customer Experience

In this episode of The Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, we explored the art of customer recovery with Jon Picoult, a renowned customer experience expert and author of "From Impressed to Obsessed: 12 Principles for Turning Customers and Employees into Lifelong Fans."

Key Takeaway:

In the world of customer experience, mishaps are inevitable.
