AI, Alexa, Chatbots, and CRM: How Technology Must Empower Smarter Customer Experiences

You can talk to your lights, book a hotel room with a robot in a chat bubble, and hear eerily accurate recommendations for what you should buy next. But while all this gee whiz technology seems either daunting or cool, it won’t mean much to your customers until it makes some part of their life better. With all this big data and “smart” technology, there’s also the risk of people feeling invisible, unseen because your CRM wasn’t updated and lacks a “memory.” Here’s a human perspective on all these tech innovations and a path forward for your company to see the best possible outcomes.

Building a Company’s Identity: Relationship Building Beyond Branding

Marketing often falls back on “show them what we’re selling” and “remind them who we are.” But branding in any kind of business must push beyond this. Many companies have built media experiences into their marketing and sales. Some do video and have a podcast. Others are branching out into other means of connecting with the customers they most want to serve, and building customer experiences and interactions that earn more opportunities to sell and serve. Learn how to create and extend a trusted relationship that will lead to more sales and business opportunities.

The New Retail: Building Trusted Relationships Through Better Customer Experience

In a world where people can buy from anyone, why should they buy from you? How can you move your customer’s experience beyond the either/or of in-store and ecommerce? What will earn you the opportunity to serve customers and build an improved level of trust that outweighs the whims of price? The goal here is to improve retention and referral and keep you growing in these challenging times.

Leading in the Age of Fast and Far: Leadership for the Digital World

Technology strives to make everything faster, with less friction, and more connected. Companies now work with distributed workforces of permanent and “gig” employees. Everyone is customer-facing. How do leaders execute their primary role of distributing the organization’s vision and empower the right actions to match their intentions while staying on top of an even faster-paced landscape than ever before? And how will you distribute some of the responsibilities of representing the brand to your teams while still maintaining the ability to coordinate and steer?

The Database of You: Beyond “Big” Data and Into Mass Personalization

For many companies, the big opportunity (and challenge) will be in creating smarter and more useful personalized data profiles of your customers. Collecting data isn’t new. The vast volume of what’s collected might be new, but it isn’t entirely useful yet, either. At least not to the individual. What would it look like to build personalized data around your customers (alongside your aggregate numbers), and how will that drive even more potential business success?

Human Enough: Chatbots and Automation and Trust

Technologies like podcasting and YouTube channels allow companies to build a “voice beyond marketing” for companies. Chatbots and marketing automation tools allow for a better attempt at one-on-one interactivity with customers and prospects, even if that first touch is primarily not from a human. How can your company build a trusted experience through the use of technologies that extend those automated moments into real and valuable connections?

Your Topic Wasn’t Covered?

Chris speaks to leaders and organizations daily, ranging from 6th grade classrooms (his aunt asked him) to corporate sales and marketing events, to 10,000 person mega summits. When he's not onstage, Chris is learning from some of the most amazing minds, everyone from US Navy SEAL Commanders Mark Divine and Rorke Denver to US Olympic gold medalist Joe Jacobi to the first female F14 Tomcat fighter pilot Carey Lohrenz and many more. If your topic isn’t explicitly here, or if you’re uncertain, just contact us and we will be sure to work it through with you.

Superheroes in the Basement

Superheroes in the Basement

Collected for your entertainment (and mine), you'll find several (almost) poems about various aspects of my nerdy upbringing that I use as springboards into thoughts about the nature of being an adult, a parent, a functioning member of society. If you love pop culture, this might be your jam. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, this will make sense.

The Impact Equation: Are You Making Things Happen or Just Making Noise?

“Anyone can write a blog post, but not everyone can get it liked thirty-five thousand times, and not everyone can get seventy-five thousand subscribers. But the reason we’ve done these things isn’t because we’re special. It’s because we tried and failed, the same way you learn to ride a bike. We tried again and again, and now we have an idea how to get from point A to point B faster because of it.”
