The success of a company is more than the sum of its goods and products, it includes its people and experiences. #ExperiencesPerMile #technology #experience #automotive #HARMANConnectsMe #TheBestRun

There are three key drivers to great customer experience in automotive: success, effort, and the emotional piece. #ExperiencesPerMile #technology #customerexperience #TheBestRun

The emotional piece in the driver’s experience is the most powerful because when it is positive, it motivates the individual to repeat the experience. #ExperiencesPerMile #technology #customerexperience #automotive

The experience of acquiring transportation is more than just financial; it is directly attached to the driver’s emotional effect. #ExperiencesPerMile #technology #customerexperience #emotion
