Transforming Transactional Employees to Loyal Teams  Shep interviews Dr. Tim Currie, leadership expert and author of Swift Trust. He shares research-backed strategies on how organizations, whether remote or in-person, can build trust, a strong culture, and genuine employee engagement.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What is swift trust?  How does internal company culture influence customer experience?  How can leaders build a followership? Why is trust important for employee engagement and customer satisfaction in virtual teams?  How can organizations recreate the benefits of in-office culture for remote teams?  Top Takeaways:    Creating a strong culture of trust in a remote work environment takes much more than just assigning tasks and checking the results. Since people aren't together in the same place, leaders and team members need to go out of their way to engage, communicate, and build connections, just like they would in person.  Swift trust is a concept that involves assuming your teammate is competent, reliable, and of good character. This is common in remote settings or short-term projects where you don't have time to build deeper relationships. This form of trust often remains transactional and surface-level unless further effort is made to deepen those relationships.  Happy employees usually lead to happy customers, no matter where work is happening. The way employees feel inside an organization directly affects how they treat customers, whether employees are working in an office or from home. If workers feel connected and cared for, they're more likely to treat customers well.  In an office, great leaders can "work the room" and connect with employees face-to-face. When everyone works remotely, leaders have to become visible in new ways.   The number one indicator of trust in leadership is online availability. Seeing a manager's green light online or receiving an answer to a question builds confidence that leadership is engaged and supportive. This digital presence is similar to an office's "open door" policy, as it allows employees to reach out and get help even when they are not in the same location.  "Followership" is the idea that employees want to be led by someone they trust and respect. This is possible in remote work when companies are willing to invest in teams mastering skills like communicating through video calls, chat platforms, and social media-style updates.  When employees are scattered around the world, they still need to feel like they're part of the team. Regular video calls to celebrate successes, check in on well-being, or just have fun keep morale high.   Plus, Shep and Tim talk about what is causing the "attention battle" in teams and how to win it effectively. Tune in!  Quote:   "The more leaders can authentically engage in digital channels and share more of themselves on a personal level, the more employees will feel they are sincere and genuinely reaching out. It's the closest thing to human touch we can find in a remote setting."  About:    Dr. Tim Currie is a leadership expert who has personally generated over $100 million in revenue and guided teams to more than $1 billion. He is the author of Swift Trust: Mastering Relationships in the Remote Work Revolution.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

This time Kevin brings Chris and returning brother Ian a seemingly forgotten entry in the canon of the recently departed Hulk Hogan / Hollywood Hulkster, not to mention Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall: Suburban Commando! Terry plays a commando alien named Shep who's stuck in the Valley, Christopher Lloyd is the feckless architect who takes him in. It's a tale as old as time! Technical issues mean some of the audio is less than uh...hulkamaniacal, recommend listening on increased speed to minimize that.

Turning Customer Data into Customer-Centric Decisions  Shep interviews Dr. Jeff Dahms, Director of Customer Experience & Insights at Physicians Mutual. He talks about how organizations can use research and customer data to make better, customer-focused business decisions.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How does data-driven decision-making improve customer service?  Why is it important to understand the reasons behind customer decisions and behavior?  How can organizations effectively gather and utilize customer feedback to improve service?  How can businesses identify gaps in the customer journey using research and analytics?  What is the "cycle of success" framework in customer experience management?  Top Takeaways:    When making decisions for your business, relying on gut feeling may not be reliable. Having data about your customers' behavior and collecting their feedback gives you better odds of providing the best experience for them.   Improving customer experience is a continuous cycle. You start by collecting feedback from customers, then turn it into helpful data for your business. After that, share the information with your employees so they can better serve customers, and then look for new feedback from your customers about their experience to continue improving.   Smart leaders and managers know how to choose quality over quantity when it comes to data. When you are collecting huge amounts of information, use the pieces that help you make better decisions or solve a particular problem.  Traditional surveys can give you some feedback, but they don't always tell the whole story. Not everyone will respond, and sometimes you only hear from people who either really love or really dislike your service. To gain more accurate insights, consider combining surveys with other methods, such as interviews or external research.   Collecting feedback is great, but it's only helpful when the employees who work directly with your customers understand and know how to use it. Break down complex data into simple, actionable ideas. This could mean additional training, clearer instructions, or helpful tips to manage challenging situations.   Good research starts with good questions. Before collecting feedback, it's better to understand the specific problem or question you're trying to solve. When you define exactly what you need to know and why, it helps you choose the best research methods that will give you the most useful results.   Great customer experiences start with a positive environment for your employees. Make sure your team has the tools, training, and support they need to do their jobs well. When employees feel valued and know how to help customers, service improves for everyone.  Plus, Shep and Jeff discuss why it is important to learn from customers, even the ones who have already left. Tune in!  Quote:   "Do you know why your customers are making the decisions that they make? Understanding the 'why' behind customer choices is important if you want to operationalize a customer-centric philosophy in your daily business."  About:     Dr. Jeff Dahms is the data-driven Director of Customer Experience & Insights at Physicians Mutual, where he helps businesses leverage information to improve processes and customer outcomes.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Balancing AI and Human Collaboration  Shep interviews Matt Price, CEO and co-founder of Crescendo. He talks about how blending AI with human expertise can reduce inefficiencies, improve customer experiences, and transform customer service from a cost center into a key revenue driver.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can companies effectively balance AI automation with the human element in customer service?  What are hidden sources of waste in customer service operations, and how can they be eliminated?  Why is it important for organizations to move away from viewing customer service as just a cost center?  How can businesses ensure a smooth transition from legacy systems to cloud-based customer service solutions?  How can AI be used to enhance, rather than replace, meaningful human engagement?  Top Takeaways:    Customer service is enhanced when it combines the strengths of artificial intelligence with human capabilities. While AI can handle simple and repetitive tasks, making things faster and more efficient, human agents can excel in complex situations where empathy and emotional understanding are needed.  Customer support is often seen as a way to deal with problems and mistakes. However, when done right, customer support not only keeps customers loyal and happy but also drives future sales.  Companies sometimes attempt to save money by delegating most customer service tasks to AI. However, if AI isn't accurate or easy to use, it can end up costing more. You might lose customers who get frustrated, or spend extra time fixing AI's mistakes. Use AI that is the right fit for your organization and always have backup plans in place for when your customers need human support.  Instead of waiting for something to go wrong, companies can use new technology to help customers before they even reach out. For example, companies can offer AI support to stay with a customer through the whole process of unboxing and installing their product.   Organizations that prioritize customer service tend to achieve better results. Customer service isn't just something you "have to do." It can be your company's main way to stand out from your competition.   Plus, Shep and Matt discuss how companies can move from deflection (using AI or technology to handle customer inquiries and divert them away from live agents) to customer engagement. Tune in!  Quote:   "AI is changing and improving all the time. Your business is changing and improving . You need to establish feedback loops to ensure that handoffs remain seamless for your customers and employees, and you never force AI to do more than it should."    About:    Matt Price is the CEO and co-founder of Crescendo, a customer service platform that combines AI technology with human expertise to deliver exceptional customer support experiences.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What's Next in AI, Self-Service, and Customer Service?  Shep interviews Jay Patel, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Webex Customer Experience Solutions. He talks about how AI and innovative technologies are transforming contact centers to improve both customer and employee experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How is AI transforming the customer service experience?  How is AI improving self-service options for businesses?  Will AI ever fully replace human customer service agents?  How can AI help reduce burnout and attrition rates among contact center agents?  What risks should companies watch out for as they adopt AI in customer service?   Top Takeaways:    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way companies and customers interact. With advancements such as smarter self-service options and AI-powered voice agents, companies can now resolve customer issues more quickly and intuitively. This leads to a more seamless and satisfying experience for both customers and customer service agents.  Many customers still prefer to call customer service, despite companies offering self-service options. In this year's Customer Service & CX Research, we found that 68% of customers still prefer to talk to a live customer service agent. Some self-service options may not always be as effective as companies and customers want them to be. However, self-service is expected to improve as AI becomes more intuitive and capable of handling more complex problems. When it is easier to use and more effective in resolving issues, customers may grow to trust and utilize self-service more frequently. While self-service tools continue to improve, many customers will still prefer to speak with a representative, especially for complex or emotionally charged issues. AI-powered voice agents are set to become more advanced, handling conversations "just like humans," allowing customers to get resolutions without waiting for a human agent to become available.  Customer expectations are higher than ever. They expect immediate answers and help when they reach out to a company. Companies must keep pace with this demand by ensuring they offer customer care options that are quick, reliable, and easy to use.   AI just doesn't help customers. It also helps employees by making their jobs easier and more fulfilling. For example, AI is used to provide agents with call history, so customers don't need to repeat themselves, and it can give agents the information they need to solve the customer's problems efficiently.  As companies use more AI tools, keeping their data safe and secure is more important than ever. Strong security policies and data protection help build trust, allowing customers to feel more comfortable using digital services.  Jay Patel shares information about Cisco's WebexOne 2025 in San Diego, California, from September 28 to October 1, 2025. This event will highlight real-world customer successes and the latest innovations in AI-driven customer experience technology.  Plus, Shep and Jay discuss the future risks and responsibilities that come with rapidly adopting AI in customer service. Tune in!  Quote:   "We've been speaking  a lot longer than we've been typing, and I think the most profound technology change we'll see soon is that machines will be able to understand us through voice."  About:    Jay Patel is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Webex Customer Experience Solutions business, responsible for product development, engineering, operations, and go-to-market.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.

Meeting Customers Where They Want  Shep interviews Dave Baxter, CEO of Solutions by Text. He discusses how text messaging has evolved into an essential tool for customer communication that improves the customer experience.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How has text messaging evolved as a preferred channel for customer communication for customers?  Why do customers prefer receiving communications from businesses via mobile devices?  What role does trust play when a customer provides their mobile number to a business?  How can businesses avoid abusing the privilege of texting their customers?  What impact does timely and relevant text communication have on customer loyalty?  Top Takeaways:    Texting is fast and direct, and people are already glued to their phones for hours each day. 95% of texts are opened and read within five minutes of being received, making it one of the most preferred method of communication for customers.   Customers now have more choices than ever, from the products they want to buy to the brands they want to do business with. If a company doesn't meet them on their terms, they are likely to simply take their business elsewhere. Giving customers what they want, the way they want it, is the best way to earn their loyalty.  When a customer gives you their phone number,  it is a sign of trust. For some people, a phone number is almost as personal as their home address or, in some cases, even their social security number. When that trust is abused by spamming irrelevant messages, customers can easily block a business… forever!     Texting has evolved over the years. It's no longer just plain words in a message. Rich Communication Services (RCS) now allows images, video, branded messages, and even interactive options.   Text messaging can help answer questions and solve problems more quickly than making a call or sending an email. Texting provides speed and accuracy. Depending on the interaction, it can also provide a level of anonymity and comfort to customers who may not feel comfortable talking on the phone.  Building communication around customers' preferences helps businesses get their message across effectively and quickly. But remember, the customer will always win. With so many choices and tools, customers have the final say in how they do business. Be mindful of what you text, how often, etc. Don't abuse the customer's trust in you.    Plus, Shep and Dave discuss why Millennials and Gen Z are willing to leave brands that don't offer text communication. Tune in!  Quote:   "Businesses are met with the challenge to send messages to their customers where they want to be met. 95% of text messages are open and read in under 5 minutes while only 22% of emails are actually ever read."    About:    Dave Baxter is the CEO of Solutions by Text, a company that helps businesses from the payment and financial space communicate with customers in a reliable, effective, and compliant way.   Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.
