#19: In Service of Customers

Play

Today we chat about our experience at the recently held 360iDev conference, and some of the best presentations we saw while we were there. Then we dive into the topic of Joe’s 360iDev presentation: customer service. Joe makes the case that excellent customer service is the distinguishing factor that separates successful long-term software businesses from flash in the pan operations that don’t survive in the long-run, and then we discuss some of the ways that app developers can provide great support to their customers.
