By 2020, the customer experience is expected to overtake price and product as a key brand differentiator. In other words, people will soon care more about how a company treats them than what they purchase or how expensive it is compared to competitors.
Amazon, one of the kings of customer service, recently discovered that two-thirds of Prime members would be open to trying a free online bank account from the e-commerce powerhouse. That figure is significantly higher than the 43 percent of regular Amazon customers who said they would try the service, indicating that individuals who enjoy premier experiences are more willing to consider future initiatives.

If that isn’t enough, according to 67 percent of respondents, their expectations are the highest they’ve ever been.
