As a CX practitioner, I continue to see how technology ushers in disruptions across retail and other B2C service industries, but I want you to remember that customer behavior is the actual impetus for these disruptions.

If you’ve ever seen one of my speaking presentations, you’ve most likely heard my story about my favorite cab driver. It is an example of excellent customer service. It’s universal—I don’t know of anyone that hasn’t been in a taxi. If for some reason they haven’t, I can’t imagine they don’t know what one is. In the story, I talk about the “amenities” the driver offered, which made me want to ride with him the next time I was in his city.
