Although I love quotes, especially about how to succeed, I love success even more. Do you? One of my favourite quotes on the topic of success comes from Winston Churchill during his address to the Harrow School (UK) during WWII in 1941. It was one of his shortest speeches but probably one of his most quoted. He said: “Never give in, never, never, never, never” If you are interested, you can read his full speech – which is not a lot longer!

These are the kind of people—and the kind of company—you want to do business with. First, a little background. I was having a conversation with a colleague and came up with the idea that you shouldn’t have to fight with a company to get your problem resolved or for them to make you happy.

Social Media Analytics is often misunderstood, because the social media itself is misunderstood! Social media isn’t about brands. It’s about people sharing their lives with others they know – or get to know – based on common interests. And it’s a place for brands to observe these interactions and connect with consumers. But they must remember one thing: Social media may provide your brand’s first and last impression, so both need to be good ones.

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.

They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.
