It’s about understanding the entire customer journey; starting with what they experience from the moment they start thinking about buying a part or requesting technical support, and ending when they receive an invoice and pay us. We must make that “journey” as straightforward, transparent, and efficient as possible. It must be a journey each customer looks forward to making again.
