Today’s agenda:

Introducing Max Farbsy, CEO of Customer Service
It's not personal, John
Cringe corporate speak: synergy
Hot topic: the overlap between employee and customer experience
What can we learn from customer experience? How does it relate to employee experience and satisfaction?
Why Max is our customer service expert
Sticking to the script vs. finding your voice in customer service as well as in the workplace
Authenticity and empathy is key in connecting with the customer
It's OK to say "IDK"
The key to building and maintaining strong teams is to treat your employees like you would your customers (yes, it really is that simple)
