Buckle up, because here’s some thinking that might be new to you…
Are your products brands? How about the way you give service to your customers? Is this part of your brand?
“If you get an ‘A’ on your product and an ‘F’ on the experience of buying your product you’re still a ‘C’ player."
-- Stan Slap, slaplive, 2001
“Every action and every behaviour of every employee is the brand.”
-- Rod Wright, TBWA, 2000.
We truly believe that the way you behave towards each other within your company (your culture) directly affects the way your customers behave towards you.
So if you want to have sustained success with your brands (i.e., your bottom line) our message is…
First, fix yourselves internally, create and foster a culture of greater trust, recognition and emotional commitment – a place where people can thrive – not just survive. Second, turn this culture outward towards your customers because delighted employees attract delighted customers. Third, never, ever stop satisfying your customers every day. Fourth, REPEAT.
Fifth, call us for help on any of the above stages - of course.
