The Model That Creates Lifelong Customers (and Revenue)

How do brands create customers who stay for years or even decades?

 

In this episode, we break down the model behind lifelong loyalty, emotional connection, and trust-based customer experience - the kind that drives repeat revenue, referrals, and real brand love.

 

Our guest is John Boccuzzi, Jr., CX leader, speaker, author of The Art of Seducing Your Customers, and President of ISG Research. With 30+ years studying how companies build trust and deliver memorable customer experiences, John shares the frameworks and stories that prove: CX is not a cost center — it’s a growth engine.

 

You’ll learn:

The #1 factor that determines whether customers return

Why customer experience is more emotional than operational

The “Ruth Story” - how one pair of glasses changed John’s entire view on CX

How to scale empathy, trust, and personalization across big organizations

What brands get wrong when implementing AI in customer experience

The future of CX and what will matter most in the next 12 months
