The Power of Empathy and Patience in Customer Experience Management

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Operation Agency Freedom! Today we're diving into an amazing chat with Erin Rohner, the powerhouse behind customer experience here at DUDE!

Ever wondered how to really listen to your customers and make your service fantastic? Erin’s got you covered. She'll share the key to staying ahead of the game by understanding your client's needs and making the right changes.

I'll be giving you some cool ideas too, like using those not-so-great Yelp and Google reviews of competitors to position your business better 😉

We get to hear Erin’s leadership lessons from her journey in the trenches, including why it’s crucial to trust your team and let go a bit, and how to manage employees as your business grows. Her insights on building confidence by pushing yourself are pure gold.

Plus, we also get real about the tough decisions in leadership, like letting go of your first hire and setting realistic expectations for your team. It is all about balancing facts over feelings in leadership.  We'll also be diving a bit into Erin’s background—did you know she’s juggling an MBA program?  Erin’s story of handling customer support during the crazy times definitely showcases her dedication. She even trains other agencies now on nailing customer experience!

Grab your headphones and get ready for a fun, insightful ride with Erin and I. Don’t forget to subscribe and connect with us on social media. You won’t want to miss this one, friends!
