Which quote is your favorite? 1. “It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money ... It is the customer who pays the wages." (Henry Ford) 2. “The biggest risk is not taking any risk ... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” (Mark Zuckerberg) 3. “We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.” (Jeff Bezos) 4. “Innovation needs to be part of your culture. Customers are transforming faster than we are, and if we don’t catch up, we’re in trouble.” (Ian Schafer) 5. “How can you squander even one more day not taking advantage of the greatest shifts of our generation? How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?” (Seth Godin) 6. “If you make customers unhappy in the physical world, they might each tell 6 friends. If you make customers unhappy on the Internet, they can each tell 6,000 friends.” (Jeff Bezos) 7. “Each business is a victim of Digital Darwinism, the evolution of consumer behavior when society and technology evolve faster than the ability to exploit it.” (Brian Solis) 8. “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning." (Bill Gates) 9. “You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology, not the other way around.” (Steve Jobs) 10. “A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

Luister je naar verhalen van je klanten of druk je jouw verhaal, koste wat het kost, door. #Focus op het faciliteren van verhalen door jouw doelgroep en verrassende punten zullen naar voren komen. Tenslotte vertelt een goed verhaal zichzelf.

#Trust : belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc. As you will see from slide #12, the most trusted source for #content remains your peers, friends and relatives. How is your #brand engaging with your audience? By earning their trust, and leveraging their #social reach across their friends and relatives, imagine the opportunities to strengthen your business. I would argue that without Trust, you can't run a successful business. Do you agree? This applies to #customers, employees, vendors, etc...

Des prévisions qui vont à contre-courant du "tout technologique" dans lequel nous semblons nous jeter à corps perdus, dans un acte de "Schadenfreude" collectif que je ne comprends pas.

Focus on the Customer – The customer is your most lucrative marketing asset. Take care of the ones in hand, as opposed to the thousands in the bush.Think Convenience for the Customer – It’s not about you as a brand. Think about the convenience of your customers first.

Hi Arielle and Lise. Appreciate your input and comments, the focus is certainly on your customers first, as they are already familiar with your brand and could become advocates.

The era of one size fits all is coming to an end, and so does its marketing. The mass of niches demand another approach. The way of word of mouth and its superpromoters. |
"A Network gives you Reach, but a Community gives you Power!"
The power of social lies in the ability to find, learn, interact, and grow. It’s about sharing, creating a connection via conversations, and surrounding yourself with friends, fans, followers, consumers who can be part of that growth… then letting the sales, recommendations, referrals, and sharing come as a result of demonstrable value, good will, and community building that is a result. "
How are you facilitating that ongoing conversation with your customers?
