    Number 1 New Release on Amazon.com

    A customer experience adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens.

    ​On Customer Experience Day Eve, Scrooge is visited by a series of ghosts, starting with his old business partner, Jacob Marley. The three customer experience spirits which follow, the Ghosts of Customer Experience Past, Customer Experience Present and Customer Experience Yet to Come, show Scrooge how his mean behaviour towards his customers has affected those around him and his business. At the end of the story, he is relieved to discover that there is still time for him to change and we see him transformed into a generous and kind-hearted, customer loving human being. All profits from this book will be donated to charity.

    The charity chosen is SIFA Fireside, a charity that helps combat homelessness in and around Birmingham, UK.
