CX E-News - December Edition
With Christmas and the end of 2019 fast approaching, this time lends itself to one of reflection and gratitude. I hope you take time out to celebrate the successes of 2019, as well as plan for positive changes you'd like to see in 2020. On behalf of the Exceed Global team, I'd like to thank you for your ongoing support and look forward what 2020 holds. Happy Christmas! This year saw the launch of my second book, Transform Customer Experience which was published by Wiley in hardcopy, ebook and audio book formats. I’m grateful to WHSmith, Dymocks, Collins Booksellers, Booktopia and Watermark Books for stocking my book in store nationally and online. I’ve also received international support from stores including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, ibooks, Kindle and Book Depository. CX has been in the spotlight more than ever in 2019. As a result, I’ve done several keynote speaking engagements at conferences and in house events. These have included the Government Customer Service Summit 2019, YMCA 2019 Conference, Collins Bookseller Annual Conference and Aquia 2019 Asia Pacific Conference. Are you planning an event in 2020? Your event is your moment and I would be privileged to be part of that memory so reach out to me if you’d like to explore.
