When you’re aiming to increase the productivity of your company, considering office plants is a great holistic approach.
Most business owners launch companies because they are passionate about delivering a specific product or service. For the first few months (sometimes even years), the company’s offering is front and center in every company decision (and usually the core focus of every entrepreneur’s dreams or nightmares). But after a while, owners start to realize that the thing they sell doesn’t mean nearly as much if their company’s customer service strategy isn’t award-worthy.
Digital marketing can be incredibly confusing for business owners in any industry—perhaps even more so for entrepreneurs in the business-to-business space. Questions about how to execute effective digital marketing strategies are nearly limitless.
The world’s best companies aren’t built on products and services alone. The top businesses on the planet all have one thing in common: incredible, over the top customer service—employees who answer phones on the first ring or have processes in place (live chat, in-person meetings) that impress clients on a regular basis.
But many of those companies didn’t start out that way. Many learned through trial and error as to the importance of customer service. This is a common lesson, and if business owners are smart to it, they can recover (even from the biggest service failures) and still rise to the top of their industries.
Have you experienced a customer service failure at your company? Maybe a customer that left one nasty review and inspired legions of others to pile on? Or maybe someone yelled at one of your shop employees in front of other current and potential customers?
Today’s customers are not only using mobile to make purchasing decisions, they are relying on mobile to do so. We are in the midst of a mobile revolution where increasing numbers of companies are launching native apps designed specifically for products and services, and if a company doesn’t have an app, it has a mobile-enabled website.
