I kicked off season 3 with Rob Markey, on his third visit to the show.

Rob is a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School and an Advisory Partner at Bain and Company. We explored his journey and how he teaches customer experience management.

Originally aired January 2, 2025 as Episode 117 of The Trusted Guide Podcast (then The Delighted Customers Podcast).

What we cover

  • Service business design: building a value proposition around customer needs

  • Customer management systems and employee management systems

  • Learning and adapting from customer feedback

  • The untapped potential in responding to customer praise

  • Insights from Rob's classroom

Respond to praise, too

Most companies focus on complaints. Rob points out how much opportunity sits in how we respond when customers say something good.
