Measuring and managing customer engagement leads to better customer relationships, resulting in increased share of wallet, profitability, revenue, and growth. But the world’s top-performing companies don’t stop there.
When it comes to winning over customers, successful businesses know that everything depends on their customers’ experience with their organizations. During these interactions — whether online, over the phone, or in a store or showroom — customers do more than assess a company’s goods and services.

These perceptions dictate not only how much customers will spend but also whether they will recommend the company to others or provide repeat business.
