In this episode, we dive into the ever-evolving world of luxury retail with Christophe Caïs, CEO of CXG, a leading consulting firm specializing in customer experience.

Christophe emphasizes the critical role of emotional intention in crafting a signature experience. He explains that luxury, particularly in the context of selling luxury products, deeply engages emotions. While every purchase is influenced by emotion, a luxury purchase is uniquely driven by a heightened emotional connection. As he underscores, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." His insight highlights the profound impact of creating memorable, emotion-driven experiences.

Christophe sheds light on the importance of employee satisfaction, framing it as an outcome rather than a starting point. He stresses the need to focus on foundational factors:

How much training do employees receive?

Is it effective and meaningful?

How much coaching and one-on-one support do they get from their managers?

Ensuring a well-rounded and supportive employee ecosystem—one that aligns with the brand’s mission—is essential for enabling employees to deliver exceptional customer experiences. He also reveals how CXG uncovers untapped talent, fosters collaborative teams, and leverages data to shape the future of retail.

Don’t miss this engaging conversation that explores the challenges and opportunities luxury brands face in today’s fast-changing landscape.
