Digital Marketing: What Direct Selling Companies Can Learn from Top TechJulie Cabinaw
I had the opportunity to speak at the Fragmob Tech Convention (#fragmobtechcon) for Direct Selling Companies last week, and I promised I would share some of the key points from the discussion, share resources I mentioned in my talk and hopefully, encourage us to continue the dialogue around improving the marketing strategies and technologies we employ to help our Consultants and customers. Many thanks to Fragmob and sponsors for putting together this first event of its kind!
For the talk, I was asked to share some of my experiences working at larger tech companies, like Microsoft, Amazon and HP, and what lessons companies in the direct selling industry could learn from those companies. I actually think there are so many innovative things in our industry happening, that I don’t think it’s a matter of what we are not doing, its more a matter of how we are doing it that might be a bit different from the "big guys." All of the tech companies I’ve worked at are unique in 3 D's: discipline, drive, and data, and in Amazon’s case, their obsession with customers.
With so many entrepreneurial visionaries in our industry, we have no shortage of ideas. What I think becomes harder for smaller, entrepreneurial companies in ANY industry to manage is to execute well and consistently on all the little things that matter, keep the lights on in our current programs and products, and at the same time try to lead out on the Big New Things we must do to lead and create new opportunity.

Communications Service Providers (CSPs) live in a world where penetration rates are over 100 percent in most markets and consumers have multiple different — yet relatively similar — choices.
As CSPs strive to retain customers, they are finding that traditional marketing techniques no longer generate sufficient returns. Instead, they are turning to the concept of Customer Value Management with one-to-one personalization as a way to generate more value from their existing subscriber base.
This article discusses the importance of understanding Customer Value Management and offers five key recommendations to improve customer interactions and deliver value back to the business.
These insights are based on a podcast discussion among Jeriad Zoghby of Accenture Interactive, Dr. Rob Walker and Tom Erskine of Pegasystems.

Digital Customer Service is customer service that is provided through digital channels, like website support, live chat, email, social media and messaging apps.
As much as technology has improved our lives, for many people customer service experiences remain unnecessarily frustrating.

This presentation defines what digital customer service is and the importance of creating a smooth and seamless omnichannel support for a compelling customer experience.

Transforming from Call Center to Contact Center How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
If loyal customers are the lifeblood of a successful marketing program, call centers are the heartbeat. It is within the call center that happy customers become loyal advocates or disenchanted. All too often, however, call centers are viewed by marketing professionals as an afterthought instead of a key to customer loyalty, customer satisfaction and as a lead generation.
Modern marketers must move from seeing Customer Care as a secondary supporting function to one of primary importance to marketing programs and lead generation, along with other digital marketing and sales activities.
This How-To Guide challenges marketers to view the call center as a potential source of revenue and lead generation as well as the hub of Customer Care. This report discusses the misperceptions around call centers and shows modern marketers how to transform their call center (cost center) into a Modern Contact Center (profit center) by recognizing its strategy in lead generation and customer experience.
This brief 11-page How-To Guide is designed to provide practical advice for building a Modern Contact Center and outlines the following:
Executive Summary
Opportunities & Challenges of the Call Center

How to transform your customer experience by making your customer service pro...BrightCultures
Traditionally customer service is reactive, but reactive customer service is both expensive and un-engaging. Meanwhile, proactive customer service offers cost savings and customer engagement opportunities.
This white paper highlights the business case for offering proactive customer service, showcases some great examples of organisations already doing this, how they are benefiting and outlines a process for getting started and for developing ideas and initiatives for improvement.
Today’s client is smart and getting smarter by the minute. From virtually anywhere, they can find out about you, your firm, your competitors, whether your clients are happy—and most importantly, with a mere 140 characters, they can impact your brand.
• Today, law firms must face the reality of super consumers. They are unbelievably informed, highly fickle, and extremely powerful with a nearly unpredictable purchase path.
• They have unprecedented access to information, the ability to easily compare firms, fees or feedback in a matter of clicks, access to reviews—whether from a trusted confidant, highly rated industry source, or someone merely taking to their social network to make their experience known.
• And they can easily do the same—joining the social conversation with their experience and recommendation to others – giving a “like”, “thumbs up”, happy face, or not, and with a click of the button can make an impression on your brand.
• Everyone has probably heard the United Breaks Guitars story; it epitomizes the challenge firms face – each individual now has a powerful voice. In this example, United Airlines was unresponsive to a passenger’s complaints that his guitar was broken by negligent baggage handlers (he actually saw them throwing his beloved instrument through the air as he was waiting to deplane). This treatment lead him to record a song about his experience that he posted on YouTube. Over 12 million views later, this YouTube sensation has written a book on the very topic of how powerful one voice can be in the age of social media.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Point of sale response time via multiple channels 42%
To support customer self service 21%
To improve efficiencies (margins, costs) 21%
To increase revenues 20%

3. History of 2 nd Shift
Industry Introduction: The contact center industry was pioneered in America, arising out of a need to centralize customer
service operations. In today’s information age, call centers have evolved into including outsourced functions such as customer
service, IT support, sales and marketing, and includes both front office and backoffice operations.
Today’s best contact center’s use sophisticated technology and business intelligence along with access to databases and
online resources that most companies simply do not have access to nor can afford.
The job of call center has always been difficult. Customers are more sophisticated today than ever before. They expect much
from the companies from which they do business, including customer service.
The call center has evolved into the customer care services market, aka contact center services, with notable and important
changes as a result of the different ways companies and consumers are now communicating with one another. The traditional
view of a customer care outsourcer is moving from a largely agent- and voice-based service to a strategic, multichannel, and
sometimes transformational service.
Newer capabilities address these changes with a flexible and agile value proposition, among other elements such as cost
effectiveness. The changing interactions and evolving ecosystem are poised to change the traditional customer care provider's
value proposition to one of a more strategic partner and to shake up the provider landscape.
