Customers and Investors

In my latest training session yesterday which I did this at Dubai Media City, one slide really stood out for the participants. It was on optimising the power of the customer experience cycle to make your business attractive to investors – from acquisition to retention, service, and finally, customers becoming promoters.
Investors LOVE this, and most likely I will do a follow up session just on this point.
