Key takeaway: You’ll want to bookmark smartercx.com/unforgettable.
Consumers are paying more attention to experience than ever, putting the pressure on customer experience (CX) professionals to deliver better and better experiences. Research from Walker finds that, by 2020, a majority of B2B buying decisions will be made based on CX, not price.
We all know that CX must continually improve, but how? Customer expectations are on an escalator, constantly going up, and rarely stopping. What specifically can/should we do to always be at the top of that escalator?
I’m partnering with SmarterCX and Oracle CX to find out, and to give business leaders real examples of extraordinary customer experiences happening every day.
I’m delighted to announce the launch of Unforgettable, a multi-media education program that features a rotating team of CX experts to spotlight modern customer experience excellence.
For the next 12 months, you’ll find weekly Unforgettable video lessons on LinkedIn, Facebook, and here at ConvinceAndConvert.com. Each Unforgettable video will include a story from a well-known CX strategist and a specific takeaway for viewers. We’re also unleashing monthly articles and exclusive webinars to take a deeper dive into topics covered in the video series.
Here’s the debut video:
We have three incredible CX experts lined up to participate in Unforgettable, with a fourth to be announced at a later date—stay tuned!

During each Unforgettable video, you’ll get the experts POV on CX strategies that work with specific takeaways.
Unforgettable Articles
In addition to the weekly Unforgettable Video Series, our CX experts will be producing useful articles here on SmarterCX.com every month. In addition to our three (soon to be four) video hosts above, I’ll also be creating more written content on this portal.
Unforgettable Webinars
The CX lessons in the Unforgettable series won’t only take the form of videos and articles. We’ll also be creating six Webinars in the next 12 months, each focused on an interesting and useful CX trend. Many of these Webinars will actually be WebiNINES, whereby the Webinar lasts just nine minutes – perfect for busy folks like you!
You’ll no doubt be seeing the videos, articles, webinars in your social media feeds, but the very best place to catch all the content is at SmarterCX.com. In fact, to make it easy to do just that, Oracle CX created a special hub just for this program. You’ll find it at smartercx.com/unforgettable.
(Note we’ll also be putting the highlights of this program at ConvinceAndConvert.com (it’s a paid content partnership between us and Oracle CX)
