For a great customer experience, every interaction at every customer touchpoint must be exceptional. Customer Experience (CX) means creating and effectively managing your customers’ emotions.

Whether that emotion is deep frustration or sheer delight is largely up to you and how thoughtfully you design, plan, and execute the customer experience.
