Did you know there’s an international Customer Experience (CX) Day and Customer Service Week dedicated to celebrating the people who create great experiences?

In this episode of Doing CX Right®, Stacy Sherman shares how to turn these events into strategic drivers of year-round customer experience success. And even if you’re hearing this episode after CX Day or Customer Service Week, the lessons still apply because appreciation and connection must not end when the calendar says the celebration is over. Featuring insights from Greg Melia, CEO of CXPA, who shares how CX Day began and why it’s become a global movement honoring everyone who delivers exceptional experiences.

What if you could finally prove that emotions, not just price or product features, are the real drivers of revenue, retention, and revenue growth? Too many leaders know their teams create powerful emotional connections, yet they’re told “emotion is a soft skill” by the very people who control the budgets. That disconnect leaves organizations stuck defending their work instead of proving its true impact.

In this episode, Stacy Sherman changes that conversation. She explains why legacy metrics like CSAT and NPS fall short, and how companies like Hallmark Business Connections translate small emotional gestures into massive financial results. More importantly, she shares a clear framework that shows leaders exactly how to measure emotional ROI and three practical steps you can take this week.

By the end, you’ll see why emotion isn’t a soft skill; it’s the new currency of customer experience and the most strategic advantage your business has.

Many companies claim to put customers first. Yet when teams and technology don’t work together, customers get bounced between departments, forced to repeat themselves, and often leave without answers. The result: frustration, lost trust, and profitable customers choosing competitors.

In this episode of Doing CX Right, Stacy Sherman and Bill Staikos break down customer journey orchestration—what it is, why it matters, and how it helps organizations keep the customers who drive sustainable growth. They pinpoint where breakdowns happen and share practical strategies to prevent them.

Together, they stress that orchestrating journeys is more than mapping touchpoints. It means bringing teams, systems, and workflows into sync so every interaction feels consistent, helpful, and meaningful. They explain why looking only at single touchpoints or metrics misses the bigger picture. And they argue that escalations are not isolated complaints but red flags pointing to deeper systemic issues.

Listeners will learn concrete strategies to:

• Give frontline teams the tools and authority to solve problems quickly.

• Break down internal silos that slow response times.

• Use systems, data, and processes together to create seamless experiences.

• Spot patterns in customer complaints that reveal deeper organizational gaps.

Discover how focusing on the entire customer journey enables your organization to deliver experiences that make an impact and drive measurable results.

Is customer experience (CX) the NEW marketing? Or has it always been?

Marketing gets people in the door. Customer experience decides if they stay. Every ad, every touchpoint, every promise—it's all CX. So why do so many companies still treat them as separate?

They discuss why great marketing fails without great customer experience, how AI is reshaping market research, and why data alone isn’t enough. Plus, hear how one brand drove real growth by putting experience first—and how you can apply the same strategies to your business.
