Stop Stonewalling Customers!
It's a BLAST to SERVE - Where Customer Service Meets Strateg... by Keith Hessel
Episode notes
A loyal customer finally walks away. Not because of price. Not because of competition. Because no one listened.
This episode breaks down how small service failures stack up until trust collapses — and how BLAST could have stopped the bleed.
Episode Description
Loyalty isn’t fragile. It’s neglected.
In this episode, we unpack a real Reddit story where a long-time customer did everything right — and the company still lost them.
You’ll learn:
- Why “policy” is the fastest way to lose trust
- How frontline reps unintentionally escalate churn
- Where leadership failed before the customer ever called
- How BLAST de-escalation would have changed the outcome
This isn’t a rant. It’s a warning.
If you lead CX, support, or retention, this episode is required listening.
