The Future of Customer Experience: why good listening means good business

As we navigate the future of customer experience, one thing is clear for businesses: mastering the art of listening is essential to serve customers better. In this webinar, two experts in customer experience and communication explore what makes good listening, the cost of not listening, and what sets a great listener apart, based on insights from a survey of 4,000 consumers across Germany and the UK. Register to explore why good listening leads to better business outcomes, from enhanced loyalty to increased revenue.
Key takeaway:
  • The results not only highlight why good listening matters to customers, but show why good listening translates to good business, with 69% of customers surveyed who would buy from a brand again if they feel heard.
