Editor's Notes
Prior to the Google event, I though Google was already a “COOL” company to be engage and work with. Coming back from this adventure made me realize it would be an amazing opportunity to partner up with Google Partners.
I asked one of the staff members why I should become a partner and how. He showed me step by step on the web how to sign, as well as the benefits: help grow my company, especially as a “beginner”, network with other companies same level as me. He also explained the batch really well to me, it means a lot to them once you earn that batch, not many companies have it yet because they want to ensure that you follow their components and are 100% committed. It is a little costly $10,000 to start but they train, give you feedbacks on how to improve, and help you grow your overall business.
As soon as you walked into the Google Conference, you could feel the excitement, very colorful room (with Google colors), staff attended the guest with drinks and appetizers at the doors. High class company – friendly, cheerful, honest.
At the opening meeting, Sophie Chestners, the young marketing manager welcome everyone and build that trust and honesty immediately. Her enthusiasm showed and was pleased to have all of us gathered all together. She showed that Google had value for each of their business partners and customers. Tim Frank followed the speech and talked about the positive changes for the company, the responses weren't as positive as they would of responded. Furthermore, he kept his professionalism attitude and responded very well to all questions. In order to keep that Customer Relationship, Google needs to listen to their customer, and not keep changing services that “annoys” customers. The Aswerbs voucher was also an issue, Google offered a $250, after all debates in the room Google increased it to 300 – adding value to their customers.
In the B2B Channel Analysis is very important. Google did a amazing job in this analysis. The whole event sums up the Channel. From welcoming customers with drinks and foods, to having personal registrations, 6 stations for customers to mingle and learn, and 3 rooms to teach and train: Tech Talk, Digital Insights and Community Centre.
