Good customer experience involves building a relationship by understanding what people want, need and value. The goal is to create smooth and efficient connections between the brand and the customer.

Instead of focusing on customers' experiences, life-centric businesses recognize that people are multifaceted and complex—and use this insight to meet customers' evolving needs.
