How Zappos Turned Customer Service Into A Profit Center
We dive into the counterintuitive economics of Zappos, exploring how a customer service philosophy built on radical empowerment actually drove margin expansion.

Lucas breaks down the unit economics of happy customers, while Luna challenges whether this model scales in a post-pandemic labor market. We look at specific metrics around retention rates and the hidden profitability of emotional connection.
