Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together.

My comments on Service Recovery as Your Superpower. So often I hear having a service and doing a great service recovery is good for you. Is an unnecessary service because of a defect good for a customer? Get rid of these to increase value. As soon as you believe this, you are a loser. If you need service recovery it means you are already losing customers for not being effective and for not doing the right things in the first place.

People often mistake customer success for customer satisfaction. However, there’s a drastic difference between both. Customer satisfaction is a concept centered around a company’s profits. On the other hand, customer success is all about facilitating customers with the best-suited solutions that help them achieve their goals or solve certain problems.
