The old world SaaS model was basically all about sign up and convert. The new SaaS model is subscription revenue-driven, which begs the question: what is a conversion today? After all, we don’t buy software these days; we subscribe to it. At Collision , I spoke about the new techniques that product owners and marketers will need to navigate the world of customer relationships.

Contact centers are big on analytics. The main reason companies measure things like their call-handle time, first-call resolution, and internal quality management (QM) scores are to improve customer satisfaction. Although these metrics are valuable, they are internal to the organization, and they may or may not affect satisfaction. So, how do you know if customers are pleased with their level of service?

Are you thinking the same as me? Facebook is not what it used to be – or at least my perception of what it was. Instead of being a company that I admire with a customer centric and open culture it now appears that the inherent culture of Facebook is one of non transparency which chooses to manipulate their customers and their data. Furthermore, I believe this could lead to their downfall.

Core tenets of customer service are timeless: For example, “know your customer” is still as important today as it ever was. If you know your customer, you’ll know that consumer expectations have changed radically over the past decade, largely due to the development of new technologies. On-demand experiences provided by organizations like Uber and Amazon mean that efficiency and personalization are expected throughout all touchpoints of the customer experience.

There are many ways to listen. People listen with their eyes, and with their hands (remember the movie: A Quiet Place ). Listening is a central process in the way people survive. If you are not actively listening, critical information is missed. In many cases, the actual words selected do very little to communicate the speaker's intended message. We must reach below the surface to capture the truth.

I live in Sarasota, Florida, and recently, there have been some interesting changes to the public benches. Halfway along the seat, there are armrests. At first, I thought it was to make them more comfortable than they were without an armrest in the middle. However, I learned the armrests were there to dissuade the homeless population from sleeping on public benches.

Deciding what your engineers should do next can be a lot like climbing a ladder. On the lowest rung is a problem to be solved. At the top is an impact on the business, a change in the bottom line. But the rungs in between can often be quite flimsy. Instead of trying to jump straight from the theoretical business impact to a directive for your R&D teams, it’s essential to stop for a moment and consider: “What is the desired outcome?

Because we have frequent thunderstorms and power outages in my Florida home, I recently decided to buy an uninterruptible power supply for my electronics. I’ve had good experiences with Apple products so I first checked to see if Apple made that sort of thing. They didn’t, so I set about comparing and contrasting the models that were available. I quickly got lost in technical specifications, so I decided that I would choose based on how long the power supply would last.
