2. The context
• People hate surveys but love being listened to
• Shouldn’t giving feedback be a positive
experience for customers?
• Shouldn’t customer feedback be a sales
enabler?
• Shouldn’t the focus be relationships?
• But customer feedback is usually owned by
marketing - shouldn’t it belong to SAM?
• If it’s owned by you then how would it be
different?
The idea of ‘following’
17. The more digital the world becomes,
the more important people are
• Big glass buildings do not make decisions – people do
• Businesses do not have emotion. People do.
• People want to be a part of something bigger than
themselves.
• People want to feel something.
• People want to be included.
• People want to understand.
Not B2B but H2H
