Table of ContentsReviewsEven though Britain proudly claims to be a service economy, most transactions with business and government seem designed entirely around the convenience of the service provider, not the value to the consumer. We really do need a Copernican revolution in both government and commerce to overcome this wasteful misalignment of effort, and this revelatory book will tell you exactly where to start. -- Rory Sutherland * Vice Chairman, Ogilvy UK * Well written, witty, keenly observed and with passion. One for humans, aren't we all? -- Tim Mason * former CMO, Tesco * John Sills' entertaining and convincing book contains a vital message; the best way to build and sustain a great consumer company is not to deny but to celebrate mutual trust and common humanity. Never mind making business more successful, this book could make the world a better place. -- Matthew Taylor * CEO, NHS Confederation and former CEO of the RSA * In a world of shocks, uncertainty and measurement skewed towards the functional, this is a powerful case for thinking just as hard about how organisations make customers and colleagues feel. Here is the perfect guide to 'doing the right thing' and making businesses more trusted and sustainable. -- Vernon Everitt * former MD, Customers and Communication, TfL * Calling all business leaders - please read this book and restore humanity to your company's customer experience! -- Ash Schofield * CEO, Giffgaff * Focusing on what matters to the individual and wrapping themselves around them in tackling their questions and problems has and always will be what First Direct is all about.

A must read! -- Ritchie Mehta * CEO, School of Marketing * John Sills is a master story teller, his arguments powerful from a career spent relentlessly in the pursuit of making things better for customers. An extremely funny, heart-warming, and practical guide to how we go about restoring humanity to the customer experience. Regardless of industry sector, this is one of the most relevant reads of our times, for any leader looking to do better by and for the people they serve. -- Sharon Davies * CEO, Young Enterprise * There is no business growth hack greater than loving and caring for your customers. John shows you how and reminds you why. -- Lauren Currie OBE * Founder and CEO, UPFRONT * John has created an extraordinary collection of insights that would inspire any leader in business to look again at their customer experience with fresh eyes and see the power of the human role.
