Legendary brands are defined by their raving fans, and if you’re not creating "raving fan" relationships, you’re missing the mark. Today, we revisit a conversation with Scott Wozniak, who breaks down the behaviors of raving fans. These behaviors aren’t opinions. They are measurable actions that show whether your customers are coming back more often, paying full price, and telling others about you. Scott also…
