Book Review: The Journey to WOW: The Path to Outstanding Customer Experience and Loyalty by Shaun Belding

The Journey to WOW: The Path to Outstanding Customer Experience and Loyalty by Shaun Belding  

Available September 24, 2018

By now, most of our blog followers know we read a lot of business related books. Out of the many, many books on customer service, I (David) would have to say that The Journey to WOW: The Path to Outstanding Customer Experience and Loyalty by Shaun Belding is by far the best.

One of the strongest points Belding makes is that outstanding customer service is a moving target. Back in the 1960s, a store would be considered to be outstanding if they had convenient parking and a clean restroom. Those things are now expectations and not an example of outstanding customer service.

Belding takes his readers on a delightful journey (imagine an old redneck using terms like “Delightful”) with a young man who is tasked with improving his company’s customer experience.

This book reads a little like Who Moved My Cheese. By this we mean that there is a story that, at first glance, is just a cute little story but, after a while, the reader learns that they actually learned something.

We give The Journey to WOW: The Path to Outstanding Customer Experience and Loyalty all five stars. We wish some online booksellers would read the part where the team discusses how their customers contact them.
