So why is loyalty becoming more important and perhaps even harder to earn right now?

Specifically in an environment where we've been trained for decades to focus on efficiency.

Like, look at all the KPIs we're throwing around, right? Uh, average handling time, uh, first contact resolution, after-call work.

It's all about proxies that actually help us understand, are we becoming more efficient or not as we are dealing with customer requests.

But that's just, uh, seeing customer service as a cost item, and that's not what leading brands do.

They understand the value of the brand, the value of loyalty, and the value of turning experiences into relationships.

In a world where product differentiation is, is, you know, harder to sustain, in a world where, um, there's just so many customer choices, and where switching costs are low, experience really comes into the core, and understanding the economic value of loyalty is just the first step.

How can a platform remember all of this? How is contextual intelligence created across all of these systems and touchpoints?
