With actionable tips, insights, and real-world examples, Two-cents Tuesdays will inspire you to think differently about customer experience—showing you how small changes can lead to big impact.


CX Storytime: A Moment of Truth- Zappos: the perpetual Hero, More Than Just Shoes



Zappos isn't just about selling shoes—it's about delivering happiness. One customer called to return shoes for her late husband and mentioned the loss in passing. Days later, she received a bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt note from the Zappos team. The gesture wasn’t about a transaction; it was about connection. Zappos’ approach shows that sometimes, real success in customer experience is about listening and caring, even when it’s unexpected.


My Two Cents: Customer experience isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about creating moments that matter. A little extra care goes a long way. Take a page from Zappos: Listen, connect, and show your customers that they’re more than just a sale. It’s those personal touches that keep us coming back.

TIP of the Week



Whether you're selling shoes or providing tech support, genuine customer care can set you apart. Here’s how to create those moments that matter:


  1. Listen actively: Take a few extra seconds to truly hear what the customer is saying, beyond just the transaction.
  2. Add a personal touch: Whether it’s a note, a follow-up, or a simple gesture, show that you care about the person, not just the issue.
  3. Go the extra mile: Surprise your customer with something unexpected, even if it’s small—it leaves a lasting impression.

Remember: Listen, Personalize, and Surprise for loyal, happy customers!

Inspiration Corner

"Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds, you can plant flowers or you can plant weeds."


Just adore these lovely Montauk Daisies whose long, sturdy green stems started poking through the planters back in March, waiting for the most perfect of times to burst into action, fall. When I initially planted these a few years ago, I had no idea how massive they would get, nor how much they would overtake the garden! When everything else around us is in the gold, orange, red and brown hues, these bring a. fresh pop of color! They keep me waiting all year for them, and for good reason.


Our minds can play tricks on us, fooling us into believing the worst and losing hope. Having a gardener's mindset helps plant seeds of possibility. And with proper sowing, watering and pruning, we get to enjoy magnificent beauty.
