Is great customer service enough anymore?

In this episode of The Bearded IFA Diaries, I'm joined by Rhian Anstey, Region Director at Insight6, to explore one of the biggest differentiators for any successful business: customer experience.

Too often, businesses focus solely on customer service, but as Rhian explains, true customer experience goes much further. It's every interaction, every touchpoint, every emotion and every impression a client has from the moment they first discover your business through to becoming a loyal advocate.

We discuss why so many businesses, particularly within professional services are unintentionally creating friction in their client journeys, where firms commonly fall short, and the practical steps they can take to deliver experiences that genuinely stand out.

As a business that regularly measures our own client experience, I found this conversation particularly insightful. It's a reminder that exceptional client experiences don't happen by accident, they're carefully designed, measured and continually improved.

We also look ahead to the Insight6 Customer Experience Awards, celebrating organisations across North Wales, Chester and the Wirral that are raising the bar and putting their customers at the heart of everything they do.

Whether you're a business owner, director, manager or simply passionate about delivering outstanding service, this episode is packed with ideas you can apply immediately.
