The marketoonist’s take on “customer experience” – SCN Encourager
What are the odds? That marketoonist Tom Fishburne would poke some fun at “customer experience” during the exact same time I am highlighting our January 22 “customer service” Lunchinar. I guess this proves for a fact that great minds really do think alike! I only wish I had one of them. Dang it! As of…

(albeit after a bit of ghostly mentoring…) But nevertheless, whatever it took for him to embrace a new personal paradigm, ol’ Ebeneezer certainly has now set the bar pretty high, don’tcha think?
