Every interaction with a prospect or customer should wow. What does it feel like to interact with marketing? Do their emails work for you? What about the sales folks? It's everyone's job to WOW. Do they?
5. Broadcasts are boring and uncreative.
Make the message relevant. If you are
emailing a small business make the
message about small business.
Get the basics right…name, grammar.
Don’t pitch.
7. Don’t pretend to offer service options if you
don’t support them.
Having a Twitter account is not the same as
being responsive to questions or complaints.
Respond and solve the issue quickly.
Don’t direct them elsewhere – handle it.
21. Pretend you are the customer.
Put yourself through what it feels like to
talk to marketing, sales or service.
How does it feel to read your email? If it
feels impersonal and stupid to you, it does
to prospects and customers too.
25. There are NO magic bullets to success.
Standing out is hard work!
Striking out is easy. Happens daily.
Will you take the road less traveled or not?
