047: Why Does Customer Service Still Stink?

Customer satisfaction ratings haven’t improved since the 1970’s, in fact, they’ve declined. With so many tools and resources at our disposal, why does customer service still stink?

This shows that businesses need to meet the needs of all of their customers, both satisfied and dissatisfied in order to keep a strong base of customers who will keep buying from them. It is a lot of work, but you should visit a site like https://www.salesforce.com/products/service-cloud/what-is-customer-service/ to find out all about how to keep your customers satisfied! […]

040: Robert Rose and The New Era of Marketing

An Interview with Robert Rose Robert introduces some of the principles taught in his latest book, Experiences: the 7th Era of Marketing, which he co-authored with Carla Johnson. Marketing books can often help newcomers to the profession find a way to help businesses work and thrive. A marketing Book Layout is designed to give interesting pointers and explorations on how to use marketing to boost sales and increase the value of a product. However, Robert takes a slightly different approach to teaching marketing. After briefly summarizing the previous six marketing eras, Robert explains how the next one signifies a profound paradigm shift where customer experience intersects with marketing through the content we produce. Naturally, digital marketing strategies like SEO were discussed although you may wish to speak to an agency like Just SEO if you would like to learn more about its importance in greater detail. According to Robert, we have moved beyond the age of just describing the value of products and services in marketing and entered an age when we must actually deliver value as a vital part of that marketing before a purchase is considered, whether it be in a retail store or in something more specific, like in the medical and dental worlds. Many will need to consider if they should go here and reassess their management options before proceeding with a marketing rethink. As businesses shift into this new era, Robert has observed that the content marketing strategies of many businesses are still not well-adapted. Whilst some are savvy enough to go to a ppc singapore company to help them with areas they may not understand, content production has, in many cases, been tacked onto the normal duties of professionals in many departments and areas of expertise. In the US, however, this new era has been embraced with many businesses using a marketing agency jacksonville, or wherever they are based to implement new strategies. […]
