So… What have we learned?
Customers take pride in their relationship w/us and will tell others
They are passionate about service – good & bad
Listening is key – People want to be heard
Service, access, security/protection are differentiators
Engagement yields rewards – it’s called “social” media
The network effect is real and it is powerful
Authenticity rules – personality required
A collaborative internal network is critical
Think fast, act faster
Money can buy you “likes,” but it can’t buy you love
