Paying Attention to your Worst Customers

In Jeff Jarvis’ informative book “What Would Google Do?” he discusses how your worst customer is your best friend. When it comes to online business, the key is to create positive, mutually beneficial relationships with all your customers – even those who have previously experienced you when you might not have been at your best.

Go online and find out what people are saying about you. If you don’t know what people are saying about you, whether it’s good or bad, you won’t have adequate information to either improve or maintain your product line or level of service. If they are upset at you, you will see them blog about it on their own blogs and on several social sites. Complaints are more helpful than disgruntled customers who never buy from you again. At least these people give you a chance to More >

Social Media Marketing Freedom

In this beautiful, sunny, patriotic time of year, I thought I would write an article about the blessings of freedom, not just in these great United States of America, but in the freedom of the internet as well.

Increasing Customer Service in Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Squidoo

I was at the bank today. There were two or three people behind me, and two tellers. One of the tellers was talking with a customer who had just made a transaction. Although the conversation was personal in nature, not business related, I knew that the teller was patiently and empathetically listening and treating that customer as I would like to be treated.
Twenty seconds later the other teller was ready to service my needs. I noticed that the man behind me became frustrated with the other teller who was listening to her customer. Not more than a minute later, after the customer and teller had parted ways; the guy stomped over and blurted out “Finally! Obviously More >

Social Media Marketing – Pleasing the Right People

I needed a new printer/copier/fax/scanner today, so I went into an office products store. I bought my machine after getting some great advise from two sales attendants, who also talked me into getting extra ink and the accident-replacement warranty. So you’re saying to yourself, “What does this have to do with social media marketing?” Let me continue.

When I got home, I grabbed the mail and guess what I found. Yep! A discount coupon from the store where I had just purchased my copier. So, after lunch I headed back to the store with my discount coupon. When I arrived, I explained that I had just purchased a copier and had since found the coupon. The attendant remembered me and quickly called for her supervisor and explained my situation. The supervisor said, “They don’t like me doing this, but I’ll take care of you.” A minute later I had my money. So here are a few techniques we can take from this experience and use them in our online Social Media Marketing:
