Excellent breadth of research and references provides further value and the opportunity to dig deeper into the skill that will help organizations meet their customer needs and differentiate themselves during this crisis.” – Anita Siassios, Managing Director

    “Many of us talk about how to improve the customer experience – Alex Allwood and this joyful yellow book cover and its contents actually live the customer experience – by understanding empathy. Seeing, listening and feeling – if there was ever a time when you needed this book in your back pocket – I reckon it’s about now.

    “Alex Allwood makes a fresh and compelling case for businesses to drill deeper when it comes to understanding their customers’ experience.’
    Through a blend of fascinating anecdotes, rigorous research and original insights, Alex Allwood makes a fresh and compelling case for businesses to drill deeper when it comes to understanding their customers’ experience.
    Because beyond the data, knowledge of what customers are actually feeling is hugely illuminating – and it’s this that will guide better decision-making and business practices.
    ‘Customer Empathy’ demonstrates that the benefits of this approach are manifold. Customers feel more understood and valued. Employees feel their work is more meaningful and satisfying. And businesses and the people who lead them can get greater clarity around purpose.
    I also enjoyed that the book not only made the case for ‘why’ customer empathy matters, but it also supplied an extensive list of tools and resources business leaders can use to strengthen their organisation’s customer empathy capability – so the ‘how’ was covered well too.
    In short, ‘Customer Empathy’ is a highly enjoyable read that delivers powerful insights for anyone who wants to build a better business.” – Anne Farrell, Head of Marketing
