What if every customer interaction — every click, call, email, app notification, and even your billing statement — was secretly costing you (or making you) millions?
In the original Customer Worthy, Michael R. Hoffman exposed the $100 billion problem no one was measuring: the hidden cost of bad customer experiences. Now, in this fully updated 2nd Edition, he delivers the complete operating system for turning every single customer contact into measurable revenue and unbreakable loyalty.
The Revolutionary CxC Matrix
At the heart of the book is the CxC Matrix — the only framework that maps, monetizes, and optimizes every customer contact across the entire customer lifecycle and every channel. No more silos. No more guesswork. You’ll finally see, measure, and improve what actually matters: the precise “slots” in every message, offer, bill, website, call, and IoT touchpoint.
This isn’t a book just for marketers or CX teams. It’s the playbook that forces everyone — COOs, CFOs, IT leaders, operations, sales, service, and frontline staff — to Think Like a Customer and align every decision around one question: “Is this Customer Worthy?”
Updated for Today’s Reality (2025+)
- AI that now powers 95% of customer interactions
- Omnichannel shoppers who deliver 30% higher lifetime value
- Billions of new IoT touchpoints
- Data breaches costing an average $4.88 million each
- The explosion of generative AI in service and personalization
Hoffman shows exactly how to harness these forces instead of being disrupted by them — while preserving the timeless principles that made the first edition a must-read for thousands of executives.
Perfect for:
- CX / Customer Experience leaders & CCXPs
- CRM and Customer Success professionals
- COOs, Chief Customer Officers, and operations executives
- Anyone with “Customer” in their title
- Marketing, sales, and technology leaders who want a genuine competitive edge
