Cultivating CX in a Sole Provider Environment – The Importance of Agile Strategies

In industries like CPG, Food Service, or Retail, measuring and creating strategies to improve customer experience can feel within reach. But for brands that are in a sole provider environment – when customers don’t have a choice of receiving their good/service or not – what does building CX look like?

In this presentation, Michael Alioto, Human8, and Scott Slagle, DTE, will share just how DTE is using agile strategies through communities, segmentation, and journey work to retain and build customer trust and remain close to their clients through an unpredictable environment.

In this presentation, you will learn:

• What it means to deliver a CX promise when you’re in a sole provider environment

• How you can build on customer journey work elements to improve communication and build loyalty

• The value that comes from an agile partnership in building closeness and trust with customers
