3 ways marketers can improve customer experience
Brand managers are placing more emphasis on consumers’ journeys with their organizations in order to gain more loyal fans. One marketing expert shares keys to making your audience happy.
As more and more marketing pros seek to add this skill to their toolkit, advice from one of the leading minds in the field, Brian Solis, can help.
I met Solis, a former public relations and digital media executive, a year ago. My blog post about our conversation, Is Customer Experience the Next Killer App? was one of the most widely shared, liked and tweeted blogs that I have ever written.

Any employee or manager can address customer experience by looking within their domain—whether it is sales, marketing, product development or customer service.
