25: The Impact of Emotion on Customer Experience

This week on the CX Cast, Forrester research director Rick Parrish joins Martin and Angelina to discuss Forrester's new Total Experience Score — a framework designed to unify brand and CX measurement. Tune in to hear why legacy metrics like Net Promoter Score℠ (NPS) and customer satisfaction (CSAT) are no longer sufficient, and how the Total Experience Score provides a more nuanced, actionable view of your brand.

Martin and Angelina welcome back VP Principal Analyst Enza Iannopollo to discuss the evolving nature of trust in CX — especially in the context of global volatility and the rise of AI. The conversation covers Forrester’s latest research on trust, actionable strategies for organizations, and real-world examples of responsible AI.
