Good American Founder Emma Grede Gets Honest With Her Customers
The key to good customer service? Frank, honest communication -- even when the truth hurts.
When Emma Grede launched size-inclusive fashion brand Good American in 2016 with cofounder Khloe Kardashian, she had an instant hit. Sales topped $1 million on day one.

Over the past two years, Good American has done that -- expanding into new product categories partly by delivering on customers’ requests, and by being open about what the company can’t deliver, too. Grede urges other founders to adopt a similar transparency: Create a stellar product, and don’t BS your customers.
