As a leader who is hyper-focused on customer experience, I often make my way through the world with a judgmental eye in this area, commonly questioning why a company allows bad customer experience to happen. Last week, I was having one of those days with a delayed flight (which is no joke when you're traveling with a toddler) and a less than courteous gate agent. It all turned around when a personal and kind experience over-shadowed all the bad. A flight attendant came by and dropped off a hand written note to me and my son, which made his whole morning. The kid loves mail and anything he can draw on. It made my morning too, as I am a sucker for hand written notes. It was simple with a thank you and information on our connecting flight, but it made all the difference. It made each of us feel seen in a chaotic day. That's really the essence of customer experience...making customers feel seen and appreciated, while limiting the friction. Major shout out to Sophie at American Airlines for doing more than is asked to create a memorable customer experience.
I would like to highlight and congratulate a new round of Relias team members who recently won our Customer Obsession awards for May and June, who, just like Sophie, go above and beyond to improve the lives of our customers and their colleagues: Aaron Mundy, Daniel "Buddy" Martinez III, Graham Anson, Jonathan Young, MBA, Kim Black, Melissa Dreisewerd, Mollie Jamison, Olivia Champion, and Stacey Craddick.
