301: Delivering the Ultimate Customer Service Experience with Micah Solomon

Author of Ignore Your Customers (and They'll Go Away)

Today’s guest is a fireball of personality. He is a joy to talk to and possesses what you might call Automatic Positivity (more on that concept inside the show).

His name is Micah Solomon and he is the world’s leading authorities on customer service, the customer experience, consumer trends, hospitality, and company culture.

He is also a consultant, keynote speaker, trainer, and training designer in these subjects, and the author of several books. He is, simpy put, “the customer service turnaround expert.”

His latest book is called Ignore Your Customers (and They’ll Go Away): The Simple Playbook for Delivering the Ultimate Customer Service Experience.

I read it from cover to cover and enjoyed Micah’s refreshing and, at times, humorous writing style.

Listen to learn what it takes to turn ho-hum customer interaction into one that drives customer engagement and lifelong loyalty.
