The classic phrase, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” applies. To measure something like customer emotions in your Customer Experience, you need the proper tools.

The first thing I read on my iPhone this morning was the interestingly trending Gayle King interview with R&B singer R. Kelly. In the interview, the singer cries, rants at the camera, beats his chest, and stands, towering over Gayle King with warlike body language. The CBS This Morning crew stopped the interview to give R. Kelly the chance to compose himself.
