On this episode of The Customer Service Revolution, join us as we dive into the essence of the "Employee Experience Revolution" and how happiness and attitude play a pivotal role in enhancing the customer journey.

We've even included a chapter that unpacks crafting customer experience interview questions that can reveal the nature of a candidate's service attitude.
