I have a few things that drive me crazy in the business world. In this episode of The Intuitive Customer, we are going to talk about how organizations often define loyalty, and why I think they have it all wrong. It makes me upset when I think about it.

There’s been a lot of discussion around the role of SDRs in modern sales, and what’s changed about the role over the past decade. Buyers now have more information than ever before, inbound and outbound SDRs have to change their approach to capture buyer interest and add value, and the skill set needed to be successful has changed. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is the following: almost every SDR’s goal is to be promoted into a closing sales role, usually as fast as possible.

Online marketing content has long been dominated by brands creating product descriptions, how-to guides, branded articles, and blog posts to promote their business. While content creation is still an integral part of digital marketing, potential prospects are increasingly interested in seeing what independent sources have to say about your product. That is why peer-to-peer content is on the rise.

If the customer suspects that the person they’re talking too isn’t well-informed on their issue, they’ll quickly begin to lose trust in your company, which is something you want to avoid at all costs.

When you meet a customer’s expectations, you make them happy. That’s the basic concept behind customer satisfaction. Sometimes, however, the potential value of your product or service outstrips customer expectations. Though the customer may be content, you can find ways to exceed expectations, thereby providing a service that truly provides the value a customer needs. .

Their importance lies in their ability to reveal the customer experience of the product or service so you can add value to that experience and maximize the growth of both the customer and your own enterprise. That’s what customer success is: the use of close customer monitoring to connect the dots of customer data and turn the resulting insights into actions that deliver value. .

For support agents, ending the conversation with a customer can be a mixed bag. With some customers, the conversation just flows naturally, and a clear end happens organically. Other times, acquiring and sharing information can be a painful process. You’re never quite sure if the customer is ready to end the conversation and you’re saying too much, or if you haven’t said enough and the customer will be unhappy.
