The professional services industry is undergoing a seismic shift, and at the center of this transformation is the rise of client experience (CX) as a strategic advantage. Join Eric Gregg, Founder and CX Strategist at ClearlyRated, and Ryan Suydam, Founder of Client Savvy and CX Architect at ClearlyRated, for an unscripted and insightful conversation on the state of CX in professional services.
