The current global pandemic is creating a world of commercial winners and losers. Those that can meet their customers where they want to be will win. Those who can't, will go the way of Blockbuster.

Karen Mangia's new book Listen Up! is the owner's manual for the new world of Customer Experience we find ourselves in. Karen uses real-world examples to work you through listening to your customers, engaging your team, and creating a plan that will work.

One small point that I truly love about this book, every time Karen refers to some research, an article, a video, or any kind of resource, she includes the URL right there in the paragraph to take you there. THAT is a great Customer Experience.

We aren't going back to 2019 so let Karen help you move towards 2021 and beyond.
