Here are 4 lessons from the airline industry that we could all learn from!

  1. Customer experience matters more, because prices are easy to compare
  2. Customised experiences – you get what you pay for (mostly)
  3. Self-service rules (but makes front line employees more important)
  4. Proactive service beats reactive in a crisis.
