Bite-Sized Delight From the Episode:

• Don't Call Us - Frontier Airlines' controversial decision to eliminate their customer service phone number may save money but may cost them customer loyalty (and will surely impact customer experience).

• B2B Businesses Should Improve Their Customer Experience - In his new book, "Do B2B Better: Drive Growth Through Game-Changing Customer Experience," Jim Tincher shares tips and techniques for improving customer experience in a B2B setting and gaining executive buy-in for CX initiatives.

• The Government Plans to Help the Experience - The FTC is launching a new rulemaking process in an attempt to reduce junk fees for event ticketing, hotels, funeral homes, and other industries that force consumers to pay ridiculous fees.
