If you’re reading this article you’ve probably read or heard about the book: “ The Effortless Experience: Conquering the New Battleground for Customer Loyalty. ”.

Are you lacking headcount in your organization? If so, you’re not alone, and I want you to view this as a challenge and a test. You will need to establish, with tactics, what the work will be to garner headcount. Headcount allows you to have more order and structure within your organization. You need it to have a better understanding of who does what in the company and how it trickles down to the customer experience.

A credit union is one of the only organizations that manufacture a product with the recipient of that product—the member—present.

The Key to Successful Marketing Communications. There are a lot of people that do not know the difference between Marketing and Advertising.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in.

And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.
