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.

I always wonder if teachers think to themselves, “ How much do my students already know about this topic ” before they begin teaching a particular topic to their students. I hope they really do for the simple reason that it will help them shape their teaching strategy. And, an effortless way to understand this, is assigning your students an online interactive quiz.

We all go through times when we’re not feeling the whole work thing. The mere thought of work brings on dread, we mop ourselves into the office later and later, and our eyes are rolled to the back of our head more often than not. These are all signs that we’re burned out or morale is very low. If you’re a supervisor or manager and you see signs of work exhaustion in your people, you need to act fast, or you might lose your people to burnout, or another job.

Several years ago, my consulting firm worked with a large retail shopping center company. At the time this REIT owned over 300 shopping centers around the country. The question my firm was asked to determine was this: Will the customer experience in the shopping center drive increased revenue in the stores? They knew they could put a carnival in the middle of the mall and get traffic…so the issue was not just mall attendance; it was increased revenue.

My daughter and I were exploring supplements at Whole Foods on Saturday. I’d grabbed Matcha powder, MCT oil, and ground flaxseed. An employee with happy robin eyes spotted my bounty and whispered a tip, “If you can wait a few days, all of our supplements are going to be 25% off August 2-4, and Prime members get an additional 10% off. I can get you a bag and hold your items for you if you like.” I needed the ground flaxseed for a vegan recipe, but the other times could wait.

If customer success professionals can agree on one thing, it’s that customer churn is inevitable. While most CSMs will try their hardest to deliver amazing customer experiences, make data-backed account decisions, and escalate issues wherever applicable, there are always problems that are just out of reach. Sometimes, customer churn is something that just can’t be avoided, no matter how hard your CSMs try. .

Great customer service is essential for business. In fact, consumers are willing to spend 17 percent more with companies that deliver excellent service, according to American Express. Unfortunately, it’s true that bad news travels faster than good news, especially in the age of social media. Most customer service stories online are about bad customer service experiences, and consequently, you don’t always hear about companies who are doing it right.

Every week, I remind myself that a customer is not a company—they’re individuals. We tend to view customers as teams and organizations, personas and segments, but a customer’s actions come from their personal, human experiences. A customer is a person. Usually, the only practical way to send messages to customers is through a 1-to-many communication.
