You’re in marketing for one reason: Grow. Grow your company, reputation, customers, impact, profits. Grow yourself. This is a community that will help. It will stretch your mind, connect you to fascinating people, and provide some fun along the way. I am so glad you’re here. -Mark Schaefer
I don’t think there is any more important battleground for marketing today than the effort to form relevant new customer connections. Traditional connections are being threatened on every front:
- Loss of online tracking data
- Stricter privacy regulations
- Inability to properly staff call centers due to labor shortages
- Surge in customer complaints due to supply chain disruptions
- Historic transition to online interactions amplified by the pandemic
On the new Marketing Companion episode, Brooke Sellas (overcoming COVID!) and I explore how new opportunities for “conversations” can spark new marketing opportunities. We look at:
- How customer care is a new “seam” of opportunity for marketers
- The fascinating social psychology of conversations that leads to customer intimacy
- The role of AI in customer care today and in the metaverse?
- Why most marketers are grossly overlooking the link between customer conversations and sales
