Chad Schaeffer

Hope you all have fun plans lined up for the 4th, I can’t wait to spend a few long weekends in northern Michigan later in July and August. Last thing I want you to do is stay inside and read this blog on your laptop so kick those shoes off, put your feet up, grab a cold one and pull up No Fluff Social Media on the tablet out on the patio!

Customer Journey Mapping - A Powerful Organizational Transformational Tool

Horizon CX

'Organizations that intend to deliver an exceptional customer experience must first understand what the customer experiences at every touch-point and, most importantly, this needs to be articulated by the customers themselves.

I Can’t See the Forest—the Trees are in the Way

Horizon CX

'As a Bank of America (B of A) customer over the last 15 plus years, [and having arrived here more as the result of acquisition than by choice] I have been a loyal customer in the sense that I have stayed and have not migrated to another banking institution. Call me a creature of habit, but nothing has yet driven me to defect from B of A.

'“Waze has me home in 23 minutes and 58 seconds,” I reply to my wife’s “When do you expect to be home?” text message. We live in an age of instant situational awareness. Anytime. Anywhere.
