A day in the life of a Millennial. Ashley rolls over, checks her Fitbit Ionic to see the quality of REM sleep she experienced last night, and reaches for her iPhone to scan her messaging apps and social networks. She tweets about her sleep quality and messages her roommate that her share of the rent has been paid with Venmo. On her way out, she checks with Alexa whether her shoes have been shipped by Amazon, grabs her ear buds, sets her smart home security system, and rides her electric scooter

Remember when Artificial Intelligence (AI) was something from a science fiction movie or television show? Characters such as Rosie from The Jetsons, Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ash from the movie Alien used to just be fantasy and so far-fetched that they could never feasibly become reality. Each of these characters relied on. View Article.

when you have a love of service, it's not that hard to do. This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. Many service providers have lost sight of what really matters. It’s not the ROI, the seamless journey between touchpoints, or even the capacity to personalize the product or service we offer. It’s the ability to sustain relationships that will enable long-term viability and growth.

Not so long ago, field service employees could only connect with the dispatcher, the back office, or the warehouse in a few ways: face-to-face, by phone, or by two-way radio. At the start of the day, the schedule would be provided to the technicians, and throughout the day there’d be little to no ability to communicate back and forth should any problems arise, i.e., misplaced equipment, incorrectly ordered parts, or delays in the schedule.

In 2003, business strategist Frederick Reichheld published an article in Harvard Business Review in which he states that “the only path to profitable growth may lie in a company’s ability to get its loyal customers to become, in effect, its marketing department.”. To identify these loyal customers, Reichheld advises implementing a Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey, which is a simple way of gauging a customer’s loyalty to your brand and a good predictor of how well your business will perform

Breaking free from survey mentality with unstructured customer feedback. It’s hard to say exactly when or how it happened, but the phrase “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) has become nearly synonymous with survey process. When we consider today’s customer, and the methods by which they exercise their voice, we can do so much more. Consumers are not as likely to fill out surveys as they once were.

Your company’s brand is more than a cool or cute logo and colors meant to evoke emotions. Your customers start to care about your brand when they can connect the visual identity with a personal emotional response. Do they identify themselves amongst your audience as part of your “tribe”? Are they connected to brand stories and share far and wide?

Your company is quick to outsource a handful of operational functions without a second thought – think: maintenance and cleaning crews, office supplies and equipment, and coffee and catering, among many others. But the people you hire to take care of those things aren’t really “partners” in the full sense of the word. They’re not the ones who are as invested in your company’s success as you are.

Maggie had a problem. In addition to her "day job" as marketing director for a regional telecom, she had been assigned a pilot project to gather more customer experience data. She knew she could send out more surveys but was wary if that would have any lasting impact. After all, had her company made any changes after five years of reviewing the annual customer satisfaction survey?

Every company wants to be customer-forward nowadays, probably because people know that, ultimately, it’s the customer that keeps them in business. Without the customer paying for your product, talking about your marketing and support, or referring their friends to you, you might not be able to afford to keep the lights on.

We all want to sell more. So how do we do this? A powerful sales technique exists that can help. The best sales organizations use it well; the worst, not so much. It is based on a psychological concept called reciprocity, and it might be what you need to get (or keep) your foot in the door. We discussed reciprocity in our recent podcast episode. Reciprocity is a concept in psychology that describes how people respond to a positive act with another one in return.
