Deep Loyalty (ENG)

Leaving has never been so easy for a customer. Staying has never been such a deliberate choice. That is deep loyalty: loyalty you earn every new day. Customer Experience is undergoing the most far-reaching transformation in its history. AI is rewriting the rules of the game and putting customer loyalty under serious pressure. AI platforms are inserting themselves between brand and customer. In return, customers gain superpowers: they compare effortlessly, switch providers in an instant, and easily find a better alternative. Loyalty is no longer a given - it is under fire. Deep Loyalty charts the counter-movement, building a CX strategy that embraces the power of AI while forging stronger, more resilient customer relationships, designed for genuine loyalty. The book moves beyond transactional efficiency in favor of deeper, more meaningful value. It is not about replacing people with technology, but about lifting value creation to a higher level. 'In a world where AI increasingly strengthens the customer's position, companies need to rethink customer loyalty. Steven makes the crucial role of leadership in this transition very clear.' - Stijn Bijnens, CEO Proximus
