Neil Blumenthal & Jenn Hyman: Why Transparency & Openness Wins

What separates a remarkable customer experience from a so-so experience? Behance CEO Scott Belsky talks with Jenn Hyman (Rent the Runway) and Neil Blumenthal (Warby Parker) about how to deliver killer customer service. It turns out that making mistakes (and admitting them) is okay, being open is better than always staying on message, and listening to customers and adapting isn't a bad idea.
