CustomerThink: Should #CX Professionals Care About the Four Moments of Truth?

By Annette Franz Gleneicki, CustomerThink (Excerpt) Last year, I wrote about moments of truth, defining them as: that make or break moment in the customer journey, that moment when, if all goes well, the customer will continue the journey and complete the task or interaction; he will do (or continue to do) business with you.
