Master the art of the possible.
Because technological breakthroughs are now common in nearly every industry, customers expect big changes to be a regular occurrence. The most successful companies continually experiment with innovations that make life better for you the customer.
Get to know your customers at a granular level.
Leading companies are moving beyond traditional quantitative segmenting. They’re developing much more sophisticated customer analysis that draws from a variety of sources, including customer behavior and psychographic data gathered online and offline, real-time information collected from sensors and other tracking mechanisms, and geographic and mapping data.
Collaboration + Active listening.
Great work cannot be done in isolation. While you want to take 90% of the work off their plate, make sure you’re spending that last 10% listening closely to client needs and taking a highly collaborative approach to solving those problems. Active listening fosters the most important ingredient in a business relationship: trust. Make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, try to understand the complete message being sent.
Relationships matter.
I can't take credit for writing these words , however we do believe "When companies invest in relationships with customers, employees, prospects and partners, they reap benefits measured in competitiveness, profitability, loyalty, and advocacy. Beyond the bottom line, organizations also evolve into truly social businesses, where technology becomes an enabler for something of greater purpose, improved communication, connections, and collaboration between people.” Brian Solis
Leverage your ecosystem.
Your company exists in a broad network of relationships that form an ecosystem. These relationships are not just with customers, but also with suppliers, distributors, retailers, industry associations, institutional partners, and government agencies. Tap into this ecosystem to engage your customers in ways that go beyond what has been relevant to your business relationship in the past. A broad ecosystem can provide data your customers' interests, thereby opening up ideas for new product and service offerings and growth opportunities.
Ensure a seamless omnichannel experience.
We all know the importance of omnichannel experience — a consistent look and feel in all customer touch points, including brick-and-mortar, face-to-face, online, voice phone, and mobile. Successful companies develop these channels using customer expectations, brand positioning, customer value, and cost-to-serve. They analyze the full cost and full set of benefits of each channel. The result is a seamless experience for the customer across every point of contact, so that shopping with an app feels reasonably similar to a face-to-face transaction.
Creativity, Energy, enthusiasm + positivity.
Characteristics we actively we look for in forming our partnership's with clients or highly skilled strategic partners.
Seek feedback, and provide it.
Consistently ask for feedback which shows that you care about hitting milestones and KPI's for your customer.
Be empathetic.
Have a solid understanding of your client’s pain points and make it your objective to consistently address and overcome them in the work you do. Ensure that all of your work ladders up to achieving your client’s stated goals, and routinely check in on what those goals are- these can change over time.
Deliver top qulity work, on time.
Make excellence your standard, and never settle for work that falls short of that goal. Be clear on what your client’s expectations are and strive to meet them at every turn. Once deadlines are established, deliver whats been promised.
