VVIP: Breaking the Traditional CX Mold by Focusing on the Customer

As CX in the Automotive World is improving, it is also getting further commoditized. Consumer facing perks like pick-up / drop-off, replacement vehicles, online-everything and semi-direct OEM access are becoming commonplace between mass, premium, luxury and ultra-luxury brands. Karma’s journey to renew traditional CX tries to break that mold by ‘ignoring’ the vehicle and focusing on the customer.  Joost will further explain how Karma is bringing the traditional internal CX budgeting challenges into a different ROI narrative.
