value are not the same.
Important channels.
Provide most important channels to
customers, not necessarily all of them.

45. In summary
Communications revolution.
The communications revolution has transformed business.
Engagement at the ready.
Customer engagement is at the center of customer facing
programs and strategies.
Digital customer.
We have a different kind of customer - a digital customer - but
s/he is still a customer.
Experience and partners.
Our customers should be subjects of an experience and
partners, rather than objects of a sale and clients.
Omnichannel strategy.
In order to acquire and retain customers, we need to have a
omnichannel strategy - with selected channels.
Golden rule.
The key is to provide the products, services, tools and
consumable experiences that the customer needs to sculpt
their own relationship with you.
Systems of engagement.
To do so, since we have transformed how we communicate,
we need to enhance our current systems of record with
systems of engagement.
