Strategic Partners
Over the years we have
forged strategic relationships with a number of highly capable and
customer-focused organizations whose expertise we draw upon when our
clients need help in matters that are outside our normal realm of
experience or in some cases, when we are unable to assist because of
other commitments.
Below you will find a
short bio on each strategic partner as well as a link to their
website.
Rather
than tell you about Eric, We asked him to tell you about his
business in his own words.
"I am the person
behind Customer Focus Consulting. With more than 25 years experience
in a wide range of industries, I am absolutely passionate about my
work. In this line of consulting you cannot succeed without passion,
especially for treating customers and employees right. I am totally
focused on one issue and the theme of my work is always Sharper
Customer Focus for a Sharper Competitive Edge. I help clients bring
the customer inside their organization and then identify, measure
and manage opportunities to meaningfully improve the Customer
Experience. This sharper Customer Focus results in higher customer
satisfaction, loyalty and long-term, sustainable profitability."
We have worked with
Eric, for many years, on projects where in addition to training
Eric's consulting expertise in Customer Focus is needed. You can find out more
