Very few refer to the true essence of their job, which should be their highest priority—to create delighted customers who will be less price sensitive, have higher repurchase rates, and enthusiastically...

Neither is it reliant on bigger investments in R&D or on some magical innovation secret sauce. In fact, it is down to companies adopting the "Sidestep & Twist" strategy....
