An important read for all company managers who value their customers. Companies rush to reduce costs and automate services, turning relationships into an efficiency machine. The problem is that relationships are not about efficiency, they are about a human touch. One cannot automate relationships. Relationships and experiences can be created only by humans. This book is about building sustainable relationships through positive experiences. It is a journey of a manager who discovers that people come first and tools come second. It is based on realizing that the key to the future customer experience is well rooted in the way old neighborhood stores used to deliver personal service, one customer at a time, one experience at a time.
