Customer obsession can catapult your business into new realms of success.

By focusing intensely on customer satisfaction, companies can create memorable experiences or "magic" for their customers, fostering loyalty and enhancing brand reputation. This magic is not conjured in isolation — it results from a high-performance organizational culture.

How a high-performance culture contributes to magical customer experiences
