In this episode, Dr. Joseph Michelli explores the distinction between "good" customer experiences and those that truly "wow" the recipient. Drawing from his book, "The New Gold Standard," and experience with his clients, Dr. Michelli uses Sonny’s BBQ, a well-known southern barbecue restaurant chain, to exemplify a "wow" moment.
An interaction between Christie Schatz, the Director of HR at Sonny’s, and a relocated customer exemplifies how businesses can form emotional connections with their clientele. While a simple gesture, such as sending a complimentary bottle of Sonny's sauce, might seem trivial, its ripple effects are undeniable.
The episode emphasizes the importance of personal engagement, anticipating customer needs, and the significance of every customer. Listeners are also prompted to consider how sharing such stories can influence company culture and how they might evaluate the scalability of such impactful moments. Ultimately, this episode underscores the power and potential returns of investing in "wow" experiences.
