Summary

Customer communications is a long-standing area of execution ripe for modernization and improvement. A customer communications program that supports employees across the organization helps ensure delivery of the right message in the right way.

A successful B2B customer experience initiative instills in all employees a strong desire to put customers first, and this requires education about what customers need at various points in the customer lifecycle.
