All three guests came from solid Logitics and Supply Chain background, together they passionately shared their views on user experience optimisation.

The event started with a question of “How many of you will take down the employee identification number before you connecting to a customer service hotline?” raised by keynote speaker Mr. Leisheng Zhao, head of customer service from Shunfeng Express.

Mr. Zhao cited a few real instances in his work to illustrate how to improve customer experience and create the greatest value for customers in all aspects. He said, “There’s nothing more important than customer service, especially in the new era of experience economy. Listening to what the customer is saying and try best to understand them. Superior service will give customers something to tell their family and friends. Such word-of-mouth marketing is the most valuable marketing.
