So why didn’t they come back?

Stacy Sherman—a global keynote speaker and advisor with over 25 years of experience improving customer experience at leading B2B and B2C companies—challenges a metric many businesses still rely on: Customer Satisfaction (CSAT).

If CSAT is still guiding your strategy, this episode will show you what it’s missing—and what to measure instead.
