No matter what language they speak, there’s typically a barrier between the language brands use internally and the language customers use while trying to get something done. Yet it really isn’t what they hear, but how it makes them feel and what it makes them want to do next.

It drives me a little crazy when I receive an advertisement in the mail from my cable TV or phone company offering me an incentive to sign up with them. First, I’m already a customer and can’t understand why they can’t figure that out. Second, why is the price they are offering a new customer lower than what I’m currently paying? This concept, offering a new customer a better deal than an existing customer, is nothing new.

The new cashierless Amazon Go store is open for business in Seattle , and it could revolutionize the way we shop. At least that’s what some people think. Personally, I’m not so sure.

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.

But a recent visit to a contact center, which happened to be located inside of the Perryville Correctional Facility in Arizona, proved the exact opposite: an awesome culture isn’t something that’s bought.
