Customer-Obsessed Service

Customers Rock!

Social media has pushed customer service to the forefront for many organizations. Responses are often faster in social media than they are in traditional service channels, since social media makes everything extremely visible.

Service Untitled

Years ago when contractors were so busy building houses, supply giant Home Depot paid a lot more attention to the builders than to the do-it-yourself home owners.

Even Your Dog Deserves Excellent Customer Service

Pretium Solutions

I sent my husband off to work today with our two St. Bernards, Otis and Rosie. Both stood on the back seat of his little car, one gigantic head sticking out of each back window, on their way to a very personal experience at the groomer – bath, brush and beautification. They are always an amusing sight that draws attention and smiles from passersby. My husband’s task is simple – drop off Otis and Rosie at the groomer on the way to a meeting, wrangle the collective 280 pounds of beasts into

InMoment XI

The explosion of digital and social media has changed the way we communicate – as people, as consumers, and as companies. While this has made hearing the voice of the customer easier than ever, it has also introduced a new challenge: too much information (or, as the Twitter Generation would say, TMI).

Strategic CX: A Deep Dive into Voice of the Customer Insights for Clarity

Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
