Last December, I visited three bicycle shops to search for a new bike. I wanted a hybrid bike that was easy to maintain and fun to ride. The employee at the first shop immediately focused what they had in stock, which wasn't much. He didn't ask any questions and barely answered mine. The employee at the second bike shop answered my questions, but didn't go deeper to truly understand my needs.

The crisis in Ukraine is weighing heavily on us at Intercom. There is a tragedy unfolding and it is especially difficult for those worried about the safety of their loved ones in the region.

I loved that Ron and Steve Jobs decided to make the stores “as big as their brand” and not just as big as their product line (which is how it’s usually done) and that they then ‘filled’ them with experiences to create engagement. But I’ll let you listen to the podcast episode to hear more about that: Today, Ron is one of the driving forces behind Enjoy, a fantastic Smart Last Mile™ solution with a network of Mobile Stores.

I’ve been asked many times how to get the C-suite to invest in customer service. There are plenty of good answers. My go-to response has always been, “Show them the numbers.” The C-suite loves numbers. Prove that spending $100 will make the company $200, and you just may capture the attention of a decision-maker in the C-suite. . Now there is a new way to approach leadership with an idea, which is to write a Fictional Press Release. .

Anyone who works in business development knows that it can be a tough job to explain. If someone asks you what you do for a living and you say, “Business development,” you’re usually met with a quizzical look. So if you don’t have a thorough grasp on what business development is, don’t worry—you’re not alone. The best way to understand business development is to break it into clear pieces.

Our CX experts, called Mods, not only speak the customer’s language, but also understand their culture, their region, and their customs.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. 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.

Successful companies are constantly asking questions. What makes for the best customer service experience? Does the fastest response time always mean a satisfied customer? Customer support teams are in a tricky situation — they need to optimize costs and still provide the best agent and customer experience. Many businesses use traditional KPIs like average handle time and first call resolution as key metrics.

“You are a brand.” From this simple thesis Tom Peters put forth in a book: Brand Called You, came an article in Fast Company magazine. The personal brand movement started in earnest. It was 1997.
