He is a keynote speaker, author, and founder Practicology - a leading e-commerce and multichannel consultancy business. In Episode #24 we spoke about what companies do wrong when it comes to customer service (I learnt that it all starts from within), what consumer centricity is and how using tech isn’t always the best strategy.
