He explained that the customer-centric approach through data, information and artificial intelligence constitutes the core of business strategy. He added that, although technology is important, it cannot be forgotten that the best face of the service is human talent and what the client wants to live is a good experience and this is provided by a good employee.
He stressed that companies must be dedicated to the client with culture, strategies, processes and human talent. But today many organizations focus only on selling and billing, not retaining their customers, improving their experiences and attract new customers and make them return what they left.
He stated that the 68% of customers they lose disappointed by the attitude of the employees; 14% due to poor quality; 9% for the price; 5% for new habits; 3% move and 3% die.
