Summary

Customer service isn't broken it's just lazy. Vance Morris explains why creating "wow" is easier than ever (because expectations are so low) and how small, intentional moments build massive loyalty. We talk about moment zero, why automation often becomes the service prevention department, and how companies like Disney obsess over details most businesses ignore. Vance also shares why great service can't live in one department, why endings matter more than beginnings, and how leaders can design experiences customers actually remember. This episode is a masterclass in turning ordinary interactions into unforgettable ones without spending more money, just more attention.
