Derek F Martin discusses American Express' approach to customer service called Relationship Care. Relationship Care focuses on building long-term relationships with customers rather than individual transactions. It emphasizes empathy, empowering employees, and creating a culture where customers feel valued.

Relationship Care is intended to provide American Express a competitive advantage over competitors who focus only on efficiency and cost reduction.
