Customer service is one of the best marketing tools around. James, Nic, and Sarah are joined by an expert in the area, the founder of Dime Customer Service, Chris Smoje.
Brand Newsroom is a podcast for anyone who has a say in how companies are communicating — covering marketing, content marketing, public relations, media, branding and advertising.
Here are some key take-outs:
- We now expect high levels of customer service across fields that aren’t competitors. We compare airline customer service to local shop service, for example.
- To be memorable you need to remove all logic and reason from the way you serve people. You need to do something different. Make the interaction easy, but memorable.
- If people get good customer service, they will keep coming back to you. If you make your service memorable, they’ll tell other people about it and they’ll come, too.
