Meet Andrew Felix, who brings over two decades of experience in business, media, and marketing. He has worked with dozens of businesses and non-profits of all sizes. He prides himself on being a hands-on, dependable, and positive leader, and is passionate about teaching and helping businesses and non-profits grow.
On June 18, he will present, “Enhancing Customer Expectations and Experiences.” Customers all have choices, but what shapes those choices? In this session, join Felix in looking beyond price and availability to explore how our organization may be a turn-on or a turn-off for customers. The goal of this session is to view your organization from the customer's perspective. We will explore ways to identify and enhance the customer experience across both traditional and digital operations.
