The document discusses customer experience and its correlation to loyalty. It references surveys of 10,000 US consumers rating 294 companies across 20 industries. Poor emotional experiences and failure to recover from bad experiences hurt loyalty. Four core competencies are identified as important for companies to master: compelling leadership, purposeful employee engagement, customer connectedness, and brand values. A maturity model is presented showing six stages of customer experience maturity from ignoring CX to fully embedding it in the organization. Metrics from the 2016 Temkin Experience Ratings are also referenced.
