In Tamilnadu, South India, the chef is complimented following a well-cooked meal with the phrase “Kai Manam,” meaning the knowledge, care and soul the cook’s hands imparted to the meal. This is also true for Voice of the Customer champions who try to convey a similar sense to their customers through surveys, analysis and the action thereafter. By acquiring knowledge to understand the needs of the customer and communicating care, VOC experts strive to deliver improved products and services and cr

Here is a blast from the past, a classic Customers Rock! post on taking care of your current customers. Thanks to @Foundora for bringing it back to my attention. Enjoy! Many companies spend a lot of time and money on attracting new customers to their product or service. Much of the marketing budget is spent on mass approaches such as advertising and direct mail.

Every business is bound to have unhappy customers; there’s always some variable that can go wrong despite all safeguards to make things perfect. Great customer service extends beyond answering the phone after two rings, beyond the twitter and Facebook entries, and even beyond the gentle ego stroking of an already angry customer. The Society for New Communications Research, which tracks the latest trends and best practices in communication and social media, states that 59 percent of consume

Social media has brought the customer experience more in-focus than ever before, and this became very apparent during the start of the 2010 holiday shopping season on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Consumers made their lists of who had the best deals, based on what they learned on Twitter and other sites. The brave ones, armed with their mobile phones, made the trek into the brick-and-mortar retail stores to fight the crowds for their coveted items.

I have been broadcasting my Customers Rock! Radio program now for 6 months, and I feel it is time to pull together a summary of information from some of those programs into a post (or two!). The radio program is really an extension of this blog; you get to hear my voice as part of an hour-long conversation around the topics we all know and love here: customer experience, customer service, loyalty, marketing, and social media.

This may be it. This may be the year that it finally happens. 2010 may just be the year that companies start to focus on their customers and serving them well. Now, I am cautiously optimistic about this focus on customer service, but let me tell you why I feel this way. - Brands are using a focus on customers as a competitive differentiator in their advertisements.
